    Breath Smoking Technique

    I think I'm getting the hang of this more now, I just smoked a bowl of gawith hoggarth plum and rum with a bit of Cavendish added in, I noticed that even though I had to relight a few times when I tampered the ash I had more to push down than usual before it went out so its definitely helping to...

    Breath Smoking Technique

    I've been practicing and I am finding I can keep it a little cooler but is it normal to constantly have smoke in my mouth? I feel like I always have a cloud of smoke in there and I just pull more in with each breath and let a small amount out through my nose as I breath out but the whole time...

    Breath Smoking Technique

    Thanks for the replies, I think ill just have to play around with it more until I get the hang of it, and have a few breaks to let the pipe cool between 3 breaths

    Breath Smoking Technique

    Hi everyone I'm having some trouble with correct cadence and how I should be performing the breath smoking technique, I have watched quite a few videos and I understand the inhale through the nose letting a small amount of smoke come in and exhale through the nose and once my mouth is full of...

    I can only imagine crashthegrey lol I have made a few small pipes before just whittling and drilling, nothing fancy just some single wood pieces similar to carving spoons but my only tools so far have been a knife and sandpaper, I think I will get some files for this one though

    Good First Briar

    Yeah no problem I'd be happy to do a post of the making of my first pipe, I intended to make my own pipe anyway but was going to just buy one first for quickness but as I've got my cob it'd be cool to have my first briar as one I've made and something to keep for life

    Good First Briar

    Sorry to keep this going but another option I've been thinking about is making my own pipe as I think id prefer smoking from something I've made and have seen a few pre drilled briar ebauchan kits that you can carve your own pipe from, has anyone tried these out, if they smoke good I'd probably...

    Those kaywoodie pipes look lovely, thanks for that link that's definitely an option

    Good First Briar

    Thank you all for your advice I've had a look at all the pipes you have suggested with one problem, I like almost all of them lol I feel the pipes themselves could be the most addictive part of this hobby, I think I just feel the need for briar as I want something I like to smoke from, as far as...

    Don't be sorry that's actually pretty good advice I'll find out if there are any shops around that stock them, would be good to see it in person

    Hello from Scotland

    @mso489 I know the type of hills you mean it is a fair challenge getting up those paths while the ground moves under you, Edinburgh is a lovely place but at night nothing beats a camp fire somewhere with no light pollution, if only our weather was better I could camp out more often, I'm looking...

    Hello from Scotland

    Thanks everyone it's nice to see so many friendly people happy to help, and yeah you spelled them both properly lol, I havent done a lot of hillwalks just Ben vorlich which I did love and have been meaning to get into it more, hopefully this spring, I do love being outdoors though and do a bit...

    Thanks for the edit I'm still trying to figure this site out but I'll get there

    Good First Briar

    Thank you all for all your help I really do appreciate it and by the looks of things I may be jumping the gun at looking for just one new pipe, it seems like I'd be better off trying to get a few cheap cobs for rotation and once that sorted then look into something nicer, I stumbled across...

    Good First Briar

    That's a great buy we'll done, I have had a look at estates but I'm so new I wouldn't know what is good or bad, nothing wrong with a bit of elbow grease to get it back to order, I'm also planning on making my own pipe in the near future as I've started whittling and have made a few small one...

    Duncan briars freehand???

    Hi everyone I hope you are all well and that I've posted this in the correct area, I am very new to smoking pipes and currently only have one corn cob but would like to find a second and preferably briar, I really like the looks of this one but unsure to whether it would be a good choice, it...

    Hello from Scotland

    That's great to hear I think I know what shop your talking about and definitely intend on paying it a visit for a blend or 2 and perhaps a new pipe, do you know the name of the clubs?
