What are you smoking now? (PIPES)

[potpest]

Bought a corn cob to give pipes another go after a terrible experience a few years back. Rattrays Old Gowrie to start off with, not bad so far. Got samples of Samuel Gawith 1792, Charatan Flake and Holger Danske Royal navy flake to try aswell.

What was your terrible experience?

What was your terrible experience?

I bought a pipe starter kit with a selection of tobaccos a good few years ago. The overall experience was a burning sensation in my mouth, pipe gargled and everything tasted harsh. Thinking back I think the tobacco was far too wet, I was smoking too fast and packing too lightly.

Ah I see now. It’s a shame there isn’t a sticky post in the pipes section for new pipe smokers. I did post something a while ago, about the 3 fill method for filling a pipe to make sure it wasn’t overfilled/overpacked - which seems to be a common problem for new pipe smokers

Morning All!

I hope you had a good weekend and I’m kicking off this week with a bowl of Esoterica Penzance in the Savinelli Siena 320 KS.

Have a good one!!

In my opinion you have to be patient with the pipe in order to find out what works best for you in relation to technique, taste etc. because as individuals we’re all so different with regards to our likes & dislikes. I’ve been smoking a pipe for four and a half years now and consider myself a newbie as I’m still learning all the time. All I can say is that it’s definitely worth the perseverance when you start hitting those sweet points and getting things right, plus I find it’s because there’s so much to learn that makes the journey so interesting. Best of luck and I hope that your experience this time round is a better one for you.
