    What/Who Influenced You to Start Pipe Smoking?

    Was close to going down with stress 4 monthes ago and needed a method of relaxing, so picked up the pipe to aid that issue.

    Aromatic Won't Stay Lit

    Yes, I get quite some tonguebite cause I am puffing extra hard to get the pipe tobacco going. It's Mac Baren - Amphora Special Reserve No.8

    Aromatic Won't Stay Lit

    I actually put the aromatic tobacco in a jar straight after buying it as I thought that was the best idea. Might try and return the tobacco to the pouch and see if it makes a difference

    Aromatic Won't Stay Lit

    Perhaps, as I have never had this issue with my English blends. However, as I have my eye on cherry aromatics to buy next, I'd like to try and figure out what I am doing wrong so I can enjoy aromatics in the future.

    Aromatic Won't Stay Lit

    Yes, it went out almost instantly after doing both the initial light and charring light whilst puffing away. But as soon as I turn off the lighter the tobacco goes instantly out. All of this completely undisturbed.

    Aromatic Won't Stay Lit

    It lit a lot easier after drying it out overnight, but just as you said, it lost almost all of its flavor.

    Aromatic Won't Stay Lit

    Thanks for the quick answer! Think I am gonna try and pack it tonight and then let it dry out overnight and try and see if it is easier to smoke tomorrow.

    Hi all. I've been smoking for almost 3 months now, so still very new at this. I am having trouble keeping my Amphora nr.8 (an aromatic) staying lit, which is odd as I have no trouble keeping my pipe lit when I smoke english blends, which I pack the completely same way and light the same way.

    Tastes Like Ash

    Since I wrote this post, I went out and bought an english blend which I seem to be liking a lot more than aromatics at the moment. Also shortly after writing this post, I must've "broken in" the pipe, cause the taste of ash disappeared and could suddenly taste the sweet notes of the tobacco...

    Tastes Like Ash

    Think I am going to try and pick up an English blend and see if I can taste the difference in the smoke, that way I can find out if it's me packing it wrong, lighting it wrong or whatever the problem is.

    Tastes Like Ash

    EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title - Bob Hello. I am new to pipe smoking and have smoked my pipe about 3 times so far, and all 3 times the most dominant taste is just ash. I was wondering if I am doing something wrong? Packing too loosely or too tight? I read that some people say that one...

    Greetings from Denmark

    And thank you all for the greetings! Had a first smoke which I consider a success despite the fact that I packed it too loosely and burned my tongue.
