    Breath Smoking

    I think I get the main idea I am going to start practicing this, breathing through my nose is my natural way of breathing also, its the forgetting about it that will be the problem

    Breath Smoking

    Do you mostly just put the pipe in your mouth and just try to breathe normally out of your nose and mouth whatever is your normal breathing pattern?

    Breath Smoking

    Yes that makes sense that is really what I have been trying to do, I really want to figure this out, I figure that the pack and draw must be fairly loose or open to get this to work properly? Is the smoke coming out of your mouth very thin and light?

    Breath Smoking

    Hello I was wondering if some of you could help me with the breath smoking technique, it seems like every time I breathe into the pipe it makes it go out and also it seems I'm getting it hotter by doing it, this seems like an awesome way to smoke but I am not getting it! Thanks

    New smoker having trouble tasting...

    I have tried some aromatics at the beginning but I really don't like the sticky goopiness, so I went to dunhill early morning pipe and nightcap which I did get some taste from them in the beginning but seems like after 1/2 bowl or so I don't taste them any longer but generally I think I taste...

    Thank you very much for posting that pipemans handbook that was very neat, I really hope to figure out the flake tobaccos but they seem to give me the most problems to keep lit, do you guys like for the flakes to be dry enough that they break when you fold them?

    I am going to take a week off from the pipe and see if that helps, I will try not to relight past half bowl and use matches and maybe that will help get me going again.

    I have tried sg flakes,most of the dunhills, pembroke, and several different aromatics and pretty much all of them seem to bite and not have much flavor. I kind of think it has a lot to do with the moisture that ends up in the pipe which burns my mouth then I can't taste it very much. I really...

    Show for us beginners

    I wonder if my pipes is a problem but I really think it is packing or cadence because it seems that I only get a few puffs before my pipe goes out and with many relights it gets hot and loses taste, slowing down makes it go out every time, I have been smoking since august so not quite a year and...

    Show for us beginners

    Hello I really enjoy listening to your radio show and I was wondering if you could do a show for us beginners to teach us how to smoke a pipe without getting tongue bite and burn, maybe proper puffing cadence? Or how to know if it is a chemical reaction to certain tobaccos?

    Tobacco is drying my tongue

    I tried drinking milk while smoking last night hoping it would help the dry mouth feeling…it didn't do anything for the dry mouth but it didn't really taste bad?

    I have recently been smoking mostly Virginia based tobaccos and right now I am trying an experiment on smoking a straight burly tobacco to see if it helps?

    Tobacco is drying my tongue

    Hello, I have posted a few times about being a new pipe smoker having trouble tasting, and tongue bite issues. I am to the conclusion that I am not burning my tongue at all it is just that tobacco dries it out to an uncomfortable feeling and that in turn causes me to not be able to taste very...

    Question About Virginia Tobacco

    I appreciate all the posts, I think I will dry it out pretty good and give it a try again, my main problem I think is getting the flake to light without getting it to hot in the process, if I can't figure it out soon I think I am going to go back to latakia
