    Another excellent video, Wilson! I recently had some issues with tongue bite with an English blend. Your points about cadence rang true and I think I was puffing too fast and long. I've slowed down and begun "sipping" rather than "sucking." Paying attention to cadence helped a lot. Anyway, great tips as always. Glad to count you among my virtual brothers of the leaf and even more importantly a brother in Christ! Blessings , Chris

    I'm the only pipe smoker I know who doesn't own a tamper.
    I have a perfectly good one to break the ash bridge on the tip on my index finger.
    If I smoke a lot I will develop a small callous.
    I do had a Czech tool to deaden the smoke if I'm stopping for a bit.
    I mainly smoke while driving so that's one less thing to fiddle with.

    I am getting ready to try a pipe again after many years. Here's my take from my experience 40 years ago on pipe tobacco: If it is flavorful, it stinks; if it is not flavorful, it is aromatic. I need a beginner's tobacco that has some flavor but doesn't stink as I smoke indoors most of the time while working. Suggestions, please? Nice channel; I subscribed and will hit some other videos soon.

    Enjoy learning , some tobaccos (not many) condor for example do smoke well moist , another way to keep your pipe lit is to just give a gentle reverse blow down your pipe( with the emphasis on the word gentle , keep your pipe clean. I was smoking a pipe for years before I found out about this gentle blow down your pipe trick.

  • @GolLeeMe
    @GolLeeMe Před rokem +4

    Hi Wilson, really good effort to explain loading and lighting a pipe. On the tobacco loading section, it was a bit difficult to see but you seemed to be ‘feeding’ the tobacco loose into the pipe. Was that the case? I have seen many different techniques before, but your method is really interesting. You did not seem to squeeze the ribbon into a tighter shape before feeding it either. Is that right? A close up of the action you use would be neat. Really good though. 👍

  • @waynejohnson3214

    Excellent tutorial. I would add, after packing the pipe to test the draw before lighting it. It's commonly said that it should feel like drinking through a straw. If it feels like pulling a milkshake through a straw, that's too tight. Dump the pipe and start over.

  • @RobbnCO
    @RobbnCO Před rokem +3

    - great video Pastor Marsh! .. a couple things I have found, one - I only tamp when I notice my draw getting "loserelight nearly as muscr" is the only way I can describe it, that way I don't over-tamp ... and secondly, for me the biggest thing was to just get over the fear of relighting. For the longest time I thought the goal was to smoke a bowl completely without relighting, once I heard more experienced pipers saying that relights were just part of the process, and realized I wasn't in a slow-smoke competition every time picked up pipe, my enjoyment increased and strangely enough I
    found I wasn't relighting nearly as much as before ... btw - nice pipe, do you only smoke certain things out of your pokers ?

    Nice! The only thing I find , even as most of my pipes are filtered, when you tamp it during the smoke to push down the ash, I taste the ash for the rest of the pipe smoke. So I use a tool to stir up the ash and I dump it out. But you didn't ask. Just had something to say about the conversation. Thank you

    • @TheHammerofDissidence
      @TheHammerofDissidence Před rokem

      Are they VA flakes by any chance? If so, I've found they need to dry out longer than other flakes, almost to the point where you'd think it's too dry to smoke. Make sure you get a strong light after your initial char light, and then take it slow from there. Flakes always need some relights anyway.

      @@HammerandPipe I can only assume it's the way you're folding and stuffing then? What I know helps is to fold N stuff for the first 3/4 of the bowl and then top it off with rubbed out flake. That way you'll have a nice ember bed to burn down the flake. And for what it's worth, Bold KY tastes pretty much the same rubbed out so no need to fiddle with it if it's giving you trouble (I was actually smoking a bowl of it when I responded to you, lol).
