What's the Story Morning Pipers?!

[Environment_piper]

So I have a question for anyone that cares to answer. I've noticed an reasonably foul aftertaste when I have a pipe. It lasts pretty much the next day - like stale cigarettes - pretty unpleasant as you might imagine. Pipes are my first foray into the field of tobacco so maybe something I'm doing. But any ideas how to stop that? I don't inhale, I do enjoy it when I'm doing it, the smell is amazing obviously! I go as slow as I dare, too. Is it my technique or tobacco, or anything else??

Thanks. Handsome pipe, but needs many more bowls put through!

Totally working on it! Let's say I'm getting to know my Chacom, too!

What exactly are you smoking? Are you drying you tobacco before loading? I'm guessing it's fairly humid in your part of the world.

It doesn't seem to matter really - all the same outcome, but that time it was Peterson's Nightcap. I didn't dry beforehand, as you might have guessed - new to this! Since I've had it in my Chacom pipe sitting outside, taking my time and it wasn't so bad. Could I be rushing things?

It sounds like more drying time would be a good thing. And loading a pipe and leaving it to dry will dry the top bits, but do nothing for halfway down, much less the heel.
