I cooked my salivary glands smoking too dang fast when I started. I kept trying to smoke my pipe like a cigarette. This is what it sounds like. Just take a break from it, and when you come back, slow wayyyyyyy dowwwwwwwwww.
The best advice I got was to smoke the pipe on the verge of going out. That slow.
When I was growing up around pipemen in the family, I remembered that they would never make big billowing clouds of smoke. You never saw smoke coming from them. They just allowed the smoke to passively come through their mouths while never really puffing except occasionally to stoke the fire, so to speak.
***but, some guys do like to make big billowing clouds. If that's your things, then go with it. However, since the nicotine enters the blood stream through the small blood vessels of your mouth, if you just puff the smoke out, you're really not smoking a pipe, you're just wasting tobacco to the air. Think, small sips and allow it to flow around inside your mouth. No one should be able to see the smoke from across the room, ...if your smoking the pipe, and not just making a theatrical cloud for the sake of burning tobacco. Just my opinion. ::
