If you're pipe is clenched, then you may be absentmindedly inhaling since you also need to breathe, and with the pipe in your mouth, it's going to be inhaled.
I still struggle with not inhaling. To combat this, I've taken to smoking my pipe sitting down and focusing on how I puff. Getting a good light and then sipping gently - making sure it only enters my mouth.
I also find that if I am distracted (like reading the forums while smoking), I will inhale more than I intend to.

Do pipes smokers get a smokers cough?
How long have you been smoking?
I know some pretty long time salty dogs that don't have a smokers cough...

I've been inhaling a lot more in the last 3 months on purpose ( stuff going on .... no further expansion ) and did notice a little smoker's cough, bit more mucus production ...... and a loss of about 10% body weight , along with some sensitivity to the tip of the tongue...
i tried walking with my pipe after i learned a new word on this forum...lunting.
i quickly removed the pipe from my mouth.
no way could i walk and smoke at the same time without inhaling the smoke.
from now on, the pipe is strictly a sit down adventure.

faust......the nicotine kick and everything associated with it are definitely increased. But it is not necessarily a good thing to do 8O
I went through a half kilo box of Ennerdale in 3 weeks at the height of the drama. Probably smoked at least six Group 5 bowls per day. I dropped about 15 lbs out the 150ish I weigh in the last three months. Long story.
Still managing to restore estate pipes and write the condition statements for you guys from SPC so there's definitely a flip side; other than the biggest accomplishemnt which is obvious: full legal custody of my daughter.Glory to God for all things !

rcstan, take care of yourself, for your daughter's sake too. Weight loss is probably from stress, but
a physical wouldn't be a bad idea. You can lunt (walk with a pipe) with the pipe in hand, too. Works
fine. It's more of a saunter or stroll, but has most of the benefits and is relaxing for sure.

Wow,
on the coughing thing, I notice that after a brisk lunt about with the dogs, with the pipe clenched, that I get the back of my throat full of smoke, not my lungs. I even get this sometimes when working at my bench with the pipe clenched. My gullet, or back of my throat, gets full of smoke, so that when I take my pipe out and talk, smoke comes out with my words. This also makes me salivate more, thus causing a bit of a small cough. But, I think of a smoker's hack as being more the way I started my day as a cigarette smoker, hacking without doing any real work removing stuff. It's more of an uncontrollable cough, over and over. The cough I get while clenching is more of a quick productive "getting the smoke out of my throat" cough, not a smoker's cough.
But, you may actually have a hack. I'm just thinking about myself, comparing the coughs.

Guys, thanks for the kind words. Because I have chosen to "go public" last year when I got onboard with SPC, I will withhold further elaboration on my dirty laundry on here ( you can PM me ).
As for the weight loss, yes it is mostly stress related; nicotine is an appetite suppressant as well, but I do not in any way shape or form recommend it as a "diet". When time will allow I will visit doc, but I have taken little steps to undo some of the obvious damage ( Biotene etc ) and of course have cut back.
Between mind boggling " antidepressants" and the baccy, I'd rather smoke some Bruyere.
To the OP ..... if you've never used tobacco and you're going full speed ahead on inhaling a pipe, slow the hell down.

I get a little bit of congestion sometimes, but think it is mostly from my retrohale. BTW, my congestion usually leads to post-nasal drip. I used to inhale on purpose, then tried not to, so then it was I accidentally inhaled smaller quantities of smoke. I got it down now. Walking with a pipe takes some practice. If you clench, force the all the smoke out of your mouth before breathing in through your nose.
I unintentionally inhale a little bit, all the time. I try not to do it, which I think sends smoke into my ear canals, because I've had regular ear aches since I've picked up the pipe. That's never been a problem before. It's tough to avoid.
