Welcome to the forum!
As for pointers, that's what we are here for but a lot of pipe smoking is based on personal experience and preference. Don't be afraid to experiment and find something you like ?

Howdy and welcome aboard from Ohio, USA
One of my best friends was Lebanese. He & his family owned a restaurant. He helped me fall in love with Mediterranean food & I thought him how to smoke a pipe and ride a motorcycle. Good times.
If & when I use a filter, I change it after the second pipe. They are not necessary to smoking.
For keeping the pipe lit, try drying the tobacco a bit. Captain Black is a moist aromatic tobacco.
Good luck and happy smokes. Hope to see you around.

Welcome aboard from central North Carolina, U.S. There's a Lebanese family in our mid-size Southeastern city that started a restaurant that became a chain. They became so successful, our state history museum located here had a video about the family and their history they ran for a year or so. I greatly enjoy their Lebanese food and baked goods. If you take their baked goods across the state to give to a friend, they immediately recognize the package and the food. The name of the restaurant is Neomonde.
Hi and welcome from Florida USA. When I use a filter I get two bowls out of it. I'm sure some people do but most don't inhale a pipe like a cigarette. You'll still get the nicotine from mouth contact to pipe puffing. I like captain Black and a LOT of other tobaccos.
Shu ya habibi.
A few thoughts:
A few thoughts:
- You don't need to smoke the pipe all the way to the bottom (and actually probably shouldn't). Smoke it until you don't enjoy it anymore then dump the rest.
- Don't smoke too fast. Take slow sips rather than many big puffs. Smoking fast will cause a lot of heat and burn your tongue (this is often called tongue bite).
- Don't worry about having to relight the pipe from smoking slow. It takes a while to get a feel for the right pace.

the last line I swear I read in the Paul Harvey voice.... Hadn't thought about that guy in years either.
Other thing you get about the same nic from mouth and lungs just takes longer to get into the blood stream. That's the biggest difference. Which is also a big part of what makes a pipe relaxing your body reacts differently to nicotine when it is introduced slowly same with other things like alcohol. Why doing shots makes people crazy but sipping on drinks lends it's self to a mellow evening even if the same amount is consumed at the end of the night.
I smoke my filtered pipes without a filter without a problem, also I dont use a adapter to make them filterless.
