+1 on the breathe smoking to the Cap'n. I've learned that what I was doing before I ever even heard of this was somewhat similar. I breathe smoke, but I still refer back to my original puffing technique, which isn't as much a technique as what feels natural to me.
Before I began breathe smoking most regularly, I would hold the pipe in my mouth, and take a small draw from my pipe, and when I expelled the smoke from my mouth, about half the air would go out through the stem and through the bowl, the other half out into the air. I would do this on about every draw, occasionally retrohaling. Breathe smoking does wonders for helping to keep a cool bowl, blend depending as mentioned above. It helps develop a slower, softer puff. Obviously YMMV, but this works well for me. Just make sure that when you're breathing, you're in a relaxed mood. Breathe smoking at a faster breath rate will still make your smoke hot. Keep it slow and relaxed, kind of like those work videos that tell you how to manage stress by taking a break and just focus on your breathing.
Oh yeah, and +100 for the Cap'n's magnificent mustache!
