You all are running willy-nilly here. :sl

Nice to see a reliable pipe smoking resource in a barn full of cigar smokers.

Re: New Pipe Smoker With A Question? Ask an Old Fart

At the point in the photo the pipe was getting hard to hold from the heat. I did the same thing with another new cob - a General - 2 1/2 years ago. The outside on this one showed a dark brown spot,...

Re: New Pipe Smoker With A Question? Ask an Old Fart

Abnormal circumstances include smoking outdoors until the cob has a little cake inside. A slight breeze over a new cob can burn it out in short order. Ask me how I know. :D

Re: New Pipe Smoker With A Question? Ask an Old Fart

Flake tobaccos are wonderful but any one may be different from the next. FVF isn't exactly a learner product. :D It's one of the worst flakes to twist or roll and stuff into a pipe; it's also hard...

Re: New Pipe Smoker With A Question? Ask an Old Fart

Exception. Most aromatics lose a lot of their special something if left to dry out. While even aromatics can be rehydrated and smoked well they may not recover the bulk of the flavor that they once...

Re: New Pipe Smoker With A Question? Ask an Old Fart

That's some kinda long, scary looking list for a newguy. How 'bout a pack of matches, a golf tee and a 100-count bag of pipecleaners.

First you need to draw them in, all paper book matches...

Re: New Pipe Smoker With A Question? Ask an Old Fart

Practice solves all.

I see you're in Woodbridge. That Old Virgina Tobacco joint across from the mall has a fantastic cigar selection but I don't think I ever met another pipesmoker in there. ...

Re: New Pipe Smoker With A Question? Ask an Old Fart

It took me a year or two to get it natural and easy to enjoy a pipe; I still learn something new every so often.

Main thing is fill evenly, compress lightly, light fully, keep dry and puff small...

Re: New Pipe Smoker With A Question? Ask an Old Fart

Tamp as you wish but try not to scrape the sides of the chamber. Tamping was well described by EvanS not so much as a means of compressing tobacco but, rather, to collapse the ash column. Think of...

Re: New Pipe Smoker With A Question? Ask an Old Fart

Some folks ash-dump mid-smoke, most not. No rule here.

There is a rule about heating up a pipe, however. If it's too hot to touch to your cheek, it's too hot. When a pipe overheats you risk...

Re: New Pipe Smoker With A Question? Ask an Old Fart

Re: New Pipe Smoker With A Question? Ask an Old Fart

Santa told me he filed it down a little to make a good fit.

I wouldn't worry about the hot spot until it's too hot of a hot spot. Then get another one. Some cobs last years, others last...

This makes more sense than my belief it came from a coffee site thread titled "Clods Don't Roast". You have once again snapped things into sharp focus. Well done.

Re: New Pipe Smoker With A Question? Ask an Old Fart

Not entirely. Cobs don't "break in" by building cake like briars; they just taste rotten for a few smokes until the pine shank chars out and the corn taste, if any, goes away. Cobs don't need to...

Re: New Pipe Smoker With A Question? Ask an Old Fart

Like Rev'mo' said, it's a personal thing. I'd say that Frog Morton tobaccos are about as universally liked as anything else I know - and I don't think much of any of them. :td
