What's new

a first Pipe

So, this morning I excitedly looked forward to the ride into work. I even was hoping for more traffic. I loaded the cob pipe before starting out and once clear of the house lit that bad boy up. At first I was so nervous about doing it all just right siping, puffing , lighting and tamping that I was almost like this is it. Then as I began to embrace the experiance of the relights and the billow of smoke, I relaxed and enjoyed it. I'm still not possitve about the tabacco that I got but it will do till I'm more experianced to get better. I also need to devellope that just right sipping to maintain a steady flow with out the tonge bight. Anyway thanks for the help and In normal B&B fasion the encouragement. Happy Smoking y'all.:laugh:
 
Congrats! Yep, don't get too caught up in having to have it tamped perfectly and no re-lights and etc.. Don't overthink it besides sipping lightly. Enjoy your smokes!
 
I'm not a PV either anymore. I'd been toying with trying one and stopped and bought a Cob and some tobacco to see if I liked it at Walgreens yesterday. It is quite enjoyable.

The whole setup set me back about $14. I wanted to go cheap just in case I didn't like it.
 
Yes it was enjoyable. I use to roll cigarettes in high school with this same tobacco so I knew I'd like the taste of it. My only issue is keeping it lit. Once I can do that, I'll be fine. I'm surprised my wife isn't complaining though. She complained when I smoked but hasn't started on this yet.

Air dry a bowl's worth for 15 minutes or so before packing.
 
Learning not to pack too tight is important too. I can usually make it though a bowl with only 1-2 relights now. But then again, relights aren't a problem anyway.
