I'm assuming you smoke them filterless, impromptu reverse-calabash?

No, I think the White Goddess has finally really got him now.
Burned too many times on the drilling of those things.
The Yanik nude finished my four season set, and am still working on an IMP rusticated seven day set. Cobs are out and briar is only for Bruce Weaver pieces and J. Everett commissions.
Brave man. I'm not sure I wanna try that again. ?
That's how I smoked my Auenlands.
With a 'warden I might be more willing to try it.
Hell, if things keep going to shit, eventually I will have to try it, when there are no more filters to be obtained.
Very little drawing through the mouth...mainly just nose breathing.
Naaooooooooo! Not the "breath method", puh-leeeze!! ??
That one time I tried to smoke my Vauen filterless I got scorched mostly from lighting: hence my reticence. You have to puff when lighting, no choice.
Yes, you do have to puff when lighting...and a little sipping...but it helps a lot to dry the tobacco well to minimize relights and to keep lit without a lot of puffing.
In your case I know this is problematic because you like aros and don't like to smoke them very dry....so I guess my only advice would be try acquiring a taste for non-aros?
EDIT: or talk to Embers about aros.....he smokes them a lot....not sure if he dries them as much as non-aros.
It'd be very difficult for me, yeah. I'm on the other side of the spectrum from you, guys: my smoking "technique" is more puffing than sipping, which makes me prefer pipes with a tight draw, which allow me to draw rather strongly without burning the heck out of my mouth. I also can't clench and smoke passively: I need to be swirling the smoke around my mouth with my cheek muscles and I just can't do it with the pipe parked in there. Just the way things have developed. Not really keen on unlearning and re-learning it all all over again.
You'll have to go spend several weeks locked in a yurt out in the woods and go through a vision quest to unlearn all you know and forget your past identity.
Contrary to the name, breath has nothing to do with the smoking, it just acts as a metronome for drawing.
I used to, now I just roll them in a paper towel to remove some of the moisture and gravity fill them.
Needed a tighter pack to compensate the wide open draw.
You don't have to clench for breath smoking.
Isn't that what suxial media does to you right at home? ?
Perfect advice for university graduates!
I didn't say he was crazy.
Dude, you don't have to unlearn anything. Just learn something new. Just because my current car is an automatic doesn't mean I don't remember how to shift gears.
It's a long standing bit of grief we've been giving to Olkofri.
