I am relatively new to pipe smoking, but am really starting to look forward to each bowl. The biggest lesson for me so far has been to make sure I have enough time to enjoy the experience. Smoking a pipe is altogether different than smoking a cigarette (yes, I have come over from the dark side). Learning the characteristics of a pipe, and exploring the flavours of each new tobacco is very satisfying.
However, as a novice I do get frustrated sometimes as my pipe often fails to stay lit. I suspect a major reason is the very high humidity where I live (Asia). For most of the year it will be in the range of a very sticky 75%-100%. Can anyone give me any tips on how I might store my tobacco, or what I can do to counter the effects of such high humidity ?
Many thanks.
