Hey all,
Well, you know I'm a N00b, but I'm getting more experienced. Got in a great SPC order today, and it included Peterson Irish Flake. I know that this tends to kick butt, so I loaded my Savinelli Professor, which has a smallish bowl, half full at most and began a smoke. Well, I almost did....let me explain.
I took this opportunity to light my pipe for the first time with hemp wick, which I find I really like. But, in concentrating on how to actually use the wick, I sort of forgot myself on the light and with one draw, accidentally partially inhaled some of the smoke. Let me reiterate. I am a N00b to any sort of smoking at all.............
WOW. That really sucked. Sort of felt like my upper lungs were vaporized. Note that this was only a slight, partial inhale, but it REALLY SUCKED. REALLY. SUCKED.
I know you experienced folks are laughing......I'm sure this happens, but, wow. Did I mention WOW?
Anyway, the good news is that I really like the Irish Flake, and I must have a decent tolerance, because I don't feel much of a Nic hit, and I'm not changing my cadence all that much. I think Elizabethan Mixture and/or Nightcap was a bigger N for me...
Anyway, I guess I've passed yet another milestone...yeah, I would have sidestepped that one if I could have.
Cheers!
