    Puffing a Pipe

    Not on purpose. I made that mistake when I went from cigarettes to the pipe and haven't done it again intentionally since.

    Puffing a Pipe

    That should read "David's videos on his YouTube channel St. David's pipes.

    Puffing a Pipe

    I was lucky in that sense, but not as lucky as those that actually had mentors to help them get started.

    Puffing a Pipe

    You are right, I didn't really explain it as well as I should. To me the breath method is an almost passive way to smoke a pipe. You simply breath and that does all the work. The way I was asking about is more intentional, and instead of just simply breathing, you "snort" or "sniff" air through...

    Puffing a Pipe

    Thank you for your comment. I mainly do that as well, per your post on slow smoking. I was just wondering if anyone else used this "third" method.

    Puffing a Pipe

    When I first started to smoke a pipe over 10 years ago, I didn't have a mentor and relied on online forums and videos. All this time I had figured out that there were two ways to puff a pipe, sipping it by applying a little pressure on the pipe drawing the smoke in and the passive breath method...

    Good idea. Thank you for the suggestion. I'll need to get me some with my next order.

    Thank you. I'll give that a try.

    Old Codger All Day Smoking with One Pipe

    You are right about it not holding water. I guess I should have said damp instead of wet. Mine aren't actually "wet" but the inside of the bowl is a little damp.

    Old Codger All Day Smoking with One Pipe

    While trying to figure out my issue with my pipe getting hot, I realized one of my issues was that I wasn't letting the pipe dry out enough between smokes. One good reason to have multiple pipes. Realizing this greatly improved my issue with my pipe getting hot like it was. Realizing this...

    On Smoking Slowly and the Benefits...

    You've made a great point. I've been smoking a pipe for about 20 years now, but that was only one bowl a day with my coffee int he morning before work. When I retired two years ago I had much more time to smoke my pipe. In the last two years my smoking technique, packing and enjoyment of the...

    Four Aces Red by Republic

    I have I was curious why you say to tamp it down hard? I've read where others, referring to other tobaccos say the same thing. I was under the impression that one shouldn't tamp down hard when filling a bowl because it will be difficult to smoke and will burn hot. I'm sure you're correct in...

    Smoking a Pipe First Thing in the Morning

    Being an x-cigarette smoker, I was accustomed to having a nicotine hit first thing in the morning. I know there are other and better ways to get your nicotine fix, but for me, nothing beats that slow relaxed feeling I get from a pipe. Might sound odd to want to start your day that way, but since...

    All Day Tobacco

    When I was working the only bowl, I had was with my morning coffee. After I retired two years ago, I now smoke all day. I don't have a pipe in my mouth 24/7 but am now able to have a bowl throughout the day if I want. Retirement rules.

    All Day Tobacco

    I agree with a tobacco that's fairly mild and doesn't take much attention to smoke. For right now it's Carter Hall.

    All Day Tobacco

    What is your definition of an all-day tobacco and do you have any favorites.

    Cherry Pipe Tobacco by Smoker Friendly

    I appreciate the positive things you said about Smoker’s Pride Cherry Cavendish. I read some fairly negative reviews about it such as it's too wet, would bite, burn, have to be careful, etc. That was I read reviews as I waited for my first order to arrive. When I got my order, not only was it...

    Too Many Drive Like You-know-what.

    Last driving beef. It drives me crazy the ones who wait behind the line at a green traffic light to turn left instead of pulling up so as soon as there's an opportunity they can turn. I've seen some who sit through two lights before turning. Drives me nuts. I guess I'm just too impatient but...

    Too Many Drive Like You-know-what.

    Are saying that they should go the extra block or two, so they don't hold up traffic? Isn't that asking a little too much? I mean that would mean that they would be actually thinking of others, and at the same time actually saving themselves some time. I think your expectations are way too...

    Too Many Drive Like You-know-what.

    It's not just Alabama. They do it here in North Carolina as well. Along the same line is the driver who rushes to pass me then goes maybe a mile, but usually half a mile or less, and needs to turn left on a busy road, where it takes forever for them to turn.
