Greetings all!

Finally getting around to signing up with the community here. Just recently, in the past few months, I have joined the ranks of the pipe smokers. Have two bent billiards in my new “collection” currently and looking forward to many more. I’m looking forward to reading and learning from the community here!

Welcome from KC!! Remember to not pack your pipe so tightly and to slow your pace of puffing.
I’ve actually gotten pretty decent at the pipe packing. Mostly… at least for the tobaccos I currently have on tap. I’ve been getting the best results by filling from the palm of my hand with the bowl upside down “swirling” the tobacco in. My cadence has gotten much slower with the limited experience I have. Getting fewer relights per bowl. Still getting the hang of it though. Thank you for the welcome.
