Well, to say that I am a newbie to the world of pipe smoking would equate to stating that sun rises on the east))
I am in the process of discovering what to do with a pipe and how to .... well... everything
All of my pipes (8) are estates I picked up on Ebay or fleemarket, one of them is BC that had a stinger, but I drilled out the stem to fit 6mm homemade balsa filter.
Recently I purchased BF here on the forum. For my first bowl I rubbed it. dried it and... pure disappointment.
Today I learned about folding tobacco and decided to try. Did not bother to dry the tobacco and... OMG!!! what a difference, tobacco tasted mild, had a very light taste of cherry and some nuttiness. I was sitting outside and the light wind created a bit of a drag, so I did not had to puff hard as I usually do. I discovered "sipping".
Marvelous. I felt completely satisfied after about 20 min into the bowl. I let it go out and can not wait to re-light it tomorrow in hope that it will taste even better.
