Finally after smoking for about a month a cheap Chinese pipe I got my Mr. Brog's old boy (and am about to receive another Gaspariny in a few days). So naturally I couldn’t wait and rushed to try my new pipe (please remember I'm a newbie).
Here are my thoughts and question as a result from my first good session:
1. There is no way to compere between the two pipes. Mr. Brog is much lighter. More easy to handle, and, to smoke.
2. it was the first time I could really taste the tobacco in my mouth. I liked it.
3. Getting the smoke in was much easier and the burning of the tobacco was more beautiful (there actually was red glowing in the bowl).
4. I only had to relight my pipe once during the whole wonderful 40 minutes of smoking.
5. Didn’t feel my tongue burning. Not while smoking or afterwards.
6. Of course you might say that it is all the imagination of an enthusiastic first timer. But for me it was great. First time I enjoyed and I mean I really enjoyed my smoke.
And 2 question that I'm looking for an answer:
The first: when I got my pipe it was dark brown in color. But while smoking it and after I noticed that its color became darker. Could it be from the heat the smoking generated? Is it o.k.? Or is it my imagination?
The second question is this: am I to take the pipe apart after every smoke and clean the sting from tar am putting a pipe cleaner through the stem? Or it is not recommended to take the pipe apart after every smoke?
Well that turned out rather long. Sorry about that. But hey after all it was my first time.
:D
