I've just recently started smoking with my Grandpa's pipes, and have come up with a few questions.
1) Does anyone have an issue with excessive salivating while clenching/smoking your pipes? (Note: I do have a partial upper denture, so idk if that makes a difference.)
2) I've read the forum/sticky about the preference for 'drying' the tobacco before smoking. (I'm currently using Brigadier Black Alamo and Captain Black Cherry straight from the pouches. The Alamo is moister, more flavorful - to me - while the CB Cherry seems drier and not as flavorful. I also seem to have a tougher time smoking the Cherry vs Alamo.)
What is the recommended process/time frame for drying before smoking?
3) Does anyone smoke multiple different blends through the same pipe or do you use a dedicated pipe for each blend?
4) Does anyone have difficulty with smoking different brands/styles of pipes vs others? Of the 2 pipes that I'm using - an BBB second (w/ stinger) and a Dr. Grabow Royal Duke (w/ filter) - I seem to have a difficult time w/ the Royal Duke. Even though I like the style of the Dr. Grabow, I have an easier, longer, and more enjoyable smoke with the BBB.
I'd really appreciate any and all help and tips you can give.
Til next time,
