    Help me Understand why I can't Keep my Pipe Lit.

    Thank you all who have contributed. I feel I may not be getting a good initial light, and tamping too hard. I just picked up 3 pipes on ebay. A savinelli 622 ks, a Dr. Grabow, and a Willard. 3 nice pipes, but honestly, just by craftsmanship, nowhere near as nice as the Loewe molesworth I...

    Help me Understand why I can't Keep my Pipe Lit.

    I tried to explain it in my OP, but it's when you cover the bowl with your fingers and draw, and I guess it's kinda like the choke on a carburetor. It helps to relight an ember and I guess it's okay to occasionally do It's because I'm trying to keep it going, way more forcefully than what I...

    What makes me think it's a packing issue is I can light it, and the next sip 30 seconds later, it's out

    Help me Understand why I can't Keep my Pipe Lit.

    Yes sometimes when It stays lit well, I forget, tamp and have good smoke again, but I haven't really gotten a good Rythym to tamp yet, just when I deem it appropriate, sometimes too late. Yes, I understand that. I find myself using this carburetor method often. Which I shouldn't. So why would...

    Help me Understand why I can't Keep my Pipe Lit.

    Being a fairly new pipe smoker, when I encounter problems I like to try and work on them for a bit and see if they clear up on their and I learn from them. Although it's only been a alittle over a week, I've ran into something I find myself doing more times than not to keep the pipe lit. Often...

    Seven Bowls in and Taste and Smell Changed!

    Well, I visited the pipe shop, picked up a used molesworth pipe(probably paid too much, but oh well) along with 4 of their house blends, some Macbaren vanilla and a can of Peterson flake I can definatly taste difference in the tobaccos now, and the taste of the old ones changed. I tried and...

    Seven Bowls in and Taste and Smell Changed!

    Your right, I just need to get a decent pipe. I seen a bunch of people make them and say they are great, yet again, there's a bunch of stuff like that and I find it untrue. This may also be the case

    Seven Bowls in and Taste and Smell Changed!

    I found a premium pipe shop in Columbus Ohio, where pipes are there main selling point. It's a bit of a drive but I might give it a look to see what they have. Any other brands that are likely to be sold OTC in tins to look for? I'm going in with a list a see what they have. Also thank you...

    Seven Bowls in and Taste and Smell Changed!

    This may be the case. All I can find is sutliff aromatics in the tobacco and cigar stores around moe. Very poor selection. I tried to look up some online but then I read that people really like them and it's difficult to decide what are good blends that I'll actually like. I do like the sweet...

    It's not only about smell. It's for taste and the experience in general. But I don't like a poor smell especially as I smoke in a shop. What are some more natural tobaccos?

    Seven Bowls in and Taste and Smell Changed!

    So last night I did some experimenting and After reading through the forums and taking the advice from this thread, I came to a conclusion, kinda. I let the tobacco dry, but now reading, probably not as much as I could. I packed it loose with barely any resistance and I only sipped on the...

    Seven Bowls in and Taste and Smell Changed!

    Title edited. Please read Rule 9. -jpm First time pipe smoker, never smoked cigarettes and personally don't care for the smell. I started smoking to relax and enjoy the taste and smell. The room note was one of the big things for me and after about the 3rd bowl on my homemade cob, it started...
