Hello i recently bought a inexpensive pipe at my local B&M. its a hard wood pipe and the air hole is above the bottom of the bowl. is there a certian i should pack the pipe. thanks you for responses ahead of time.

I have heard others mention that they make a pipe cement or putty out of cigar ash and a minute amount of water. They pack the putty into the bottom of the bowl until it is even with the hole. Let the stuff harden and then puff away!
