Ritual and relaxation go hand in hand when smoking a pipe. You get exceptional satisfaction when carefully loading the tobacco into the bowl. Then comes that beautiful, aromatic smell and the whoosh of the match. You can have the perfect evening by lighting a pipe, enjoying one of your preferred cocktails, and relaxing in your favorite chair.
You can enjoy your pipe in ideal conditions by following the tips in this article. But you must obtain the basic things first, including a pipe, pipe tamper tool, lighter, and tobacco. Note that tobacco comes in various strengths and flavors; you can follow this to discover more.
After obtaining everything necessary, you can begin.
Pack the bowl of your pipe
Although it is the hardest step to perfect, you should be keen on it because it impacts the rest of your smoking experience. Loosely dispense tobacco into the bowl, then use the tamper to compact it gently. At this point, fill the bowl to about halfway up. Once more, fill the bowl and pack it tightly by compressing it. Your bowl is roughly 3/4 full at this point. Finally, add more tobacco to the bowl and firmly press down. A thin gap should separate the tobacco and the top of the bowl.
Take a test draw
Inhale deeply while holding the pipe close to your mouth. You have packed the tobacco too tightly if air cannot readily pass through it, and you can take it out and try again. You’re ready to light if your test draw went well.
Light your pipe
Use a pipe lighter or a wooden match to light your pipe. You can use wooden matches since they are less expensive. On the other hand, pipe lighters are created exclusively for tobacco pipes, so they don’t change the tobacco flavor. Strike the match and let it burn for a few seconds to remove the sulfur from the match.
Then, while you draw slowly from the pipe, slide the match across the tobacco’s surface in a circular motion. Make sure the tobacco is lit all the way through. Even after lighting, you are still not there. In other words, this is the “false light.” Let it go out, then start it again in the same manner.
Once your tobacco is evenly lit, you can now start smoking. It’s advisable not to breathe the smoke into your lungs, and keep in mind that cigarette smoking differs from pipe smoking. Pipe tobacco is a little stronger and primarily consumed for flavor.
Get comfortable
Go easy when using your pipe. If you puff too quickly, you may experience a “tongue bite,” a burning feeling on your tongue. Not at all what you desire.
During your smoke, your pipe may go out two or three times, but that’s okay. Remain calm and have fun. If a friend is over, your pipe can burst more frequently while you’re speaking. Enjoy the tobacco’s flavor.
And that is all. You can buy the priciest pipes and tobaccos if you appreciate your first and subsequent puffs.
