Good people, how are we doing?
I just received my first pipe and wanted to share my experience. I wet with middletons cherry aromatic tobacco. That's what I promised myself I would get when I started smoking. Since Im fairly new at this I tried a couple ways to pack the 1st was too loose, the 2nd a little tight but the draw was ok so I went for it. Lighting was kinda tricky, I used wooden matches because I heard it was the best way to light it, which I did find it was easier. Im not sure if using 3-4 matches is normal but thats what it took to light it. Also I had to draw on it pretty often and hard, just to keep it lit, not sure if this is normal. After a few minutes I got the hang of it, trying to hold the pipe in my mouth correctly without having to hold it with my hand was a little tricky too. Before I was finished I re lit the pipe about 4-5 times as the tobacco burned lower and lower. Is this normal?? Anyway besides that it definitely is something I can get use too :thumbsup:, I plan on smoking Thanksgiving even after the big meal! Any advice is always greatly appreciated. Thanks
