How the hell do I do this?

[QUOTEhey, the 1st time you had sex you didn't have your partner screaming in joy did you?


I did...

Are you sure that was a scream ? It could it have been the air leaking out of your blow up doll

On those videos, I watched from "how to pack you bowl" to "smoking tips"

Packing the bowl, was a good one for me. I sorta understood it, but not really. The video helped a lot there.

Lighting the pipe. I didn't know about the singeing thing, or charring the tobacco, kinda like a cigar (duh) There's another one that helped.

Tamping lightly while smoking, I was doing that, but I noticed him running a pipe cleaner down the tip during the smoke, which was enlightening. Slow puffing (compared to a cigar) is key for me to avoiding tongue bite. Took a little while to figure that one out.

Informative videos.
I have been packing my pipe to tight for years

Just let the weight of the tamper pack it and smoke slowly is the key. Also if the pipe gets hot to the touch stop and let the bowl cool. Sounds easy...But it takes practice. Being off work for five weeks I've practiced plenty.

You are very close to perfecting your process. You just need to "tap" the tobacco down with the same tool you use to dig it out. Or you can use a special tool--talk to your local tobacco dealer. Also, get a strong light going and just puff on it for a while. Packing it down a bit will help keep it lit. Cheers!
