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

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.

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 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.

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. 👍

- 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 ? ~ Robb

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.

I dried all three for an hour or two and rubbed them out and i couldn’t keep the damn leaf lit, draw wasn’t restricting as if the pipe was empty, but had that straw resistance that is commonly used to describe it. Id take maybe 3-5 in and out breaths before sipping. And failed all three times. I was disappointed.

@@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).
