I was watching one of your vids awhile ago where you're puffing like a freight train. I thought, "WTF?!!! His tongue must be made of leather!"

Newer Pipe Smoker Wants Thick Clouds

@TheIronMonkey When I go to the living history re-enactments I'd like to see how long I can make a clay pipe of baccy last; I got 15 minutes out of a clay bowl last weekend before it went out, as the baccy tends to if you leave it smouldering too long. And another thing; blowing out a candle extinguishes it - but doing the same with a pipe stokes the fire!
Paul Cough, indeed. How apropos.
As someone who vapes as well, I know what your looking for. But here's the deal with a pipe: The general method of producing more smoke requires more heat and oxygen. This Ultimately leads to tongue bite. I've learned that this desire for more smoke in the mouth consistently is counterproductive to the proper methodology of smoking a pipe. Learn to focus on the flavor in small "sips". Enjoy learning the "breath" method. With developing that technique you will no longer want big clouds. That said look for Burley blends. Carter Hall is amazing for producing more smoke, and rarely bites.
Get a third in there and you'll have a new follower!
That alone will prevent me from ever buying another one.
Most really amazing Cuban cigars I’ve smoked, 25ths, 1992s, Dunhills, Davidoffs, etc., have always had more flavor and subtlety when “sipping” the cigar. If you’re smoking Diggers out in the golf course that might be different but seems any tobacco is going to be more flavorful and nuanced when taking it slow and easy.
Not sure about pipes making more smoke - but I find blends with latakia and cavendish often produce denser smoke.
Big Thick Clouds, is not what pipe smoking is about, and I personally don’t see any reasons or benefits to needing this.
Also as mentioned before, all this is going to do is lead to a hot pipe, hot smoke and a hot mouth/tongue, not fun, when it comes to Briar.
Pipe Smoking should be considered, more akin to like wine tasting.
You sip when you smoke a pipe, searching for the flavors/nuances in the smoke, that is the enjoyment of smoking a pipe.

It can be but doesn't have to be. Just slow smoking. This guy usually is breath smoking but isn't here.
I too prefer big clouds of smoke: no smoke = no enjoyment of pipe smoking.
That's MY personal preference and I'm sticking to it. I think one of the "tenets" of pipe smoking is that people shouldn't tell you how to smoke your pipe. I've seen some smokers get all vexed over even the mere, vague impression that someone is telling them they're "not smoking right" and then they turn around and do the same when someone smokes or asks advice on how to smoke in a manner that is completely different from theirs. I'm like...

"Big clouds" would probably quickly result in too much heat and rushing is a bad idea, but I have to add that it is perfectly possible to achieve a nice thick volume of smoke with most tobaccos at the right moisture level. So if you want that, don't give up!
