Tips for Choosing your First Pipe

  • Don’t buy a brand new briar pipe as your first pipe. I recommended you purchase a corn cob pipe for your first cheap tobacco pipe, but if that doesn’t suite your fancy consider a meerschaum or an broken-in estate pipe.
  • Purchase a couple different styles of corn cob pipes to get a feel for what is comfortable to you. It will make your decision much easier when you want to upgrade to a briar or meerschaum pipe.

Tips for Choosing Pipe Tobacco

  • Captain Black pipe tobacco is the most popular tobacco ever sold. A must try.
  • Beginner pipe smokers are highly recommended to start out smoking an aromatic blend of pipe tobacco.
  • Try to smoke several bowls of the same tobacco to get a good feeling for the taste. Mixing several tobacco in the same pipe will change the taste, so be careful how much mixing and matching you do.
  • New tins of tobacco may need moisture adjustments. Generally a new tin is a tad wet, so let it sit out on a napkin for a few minutes before packing your pipe.
  • Never pinch your pipe tobacco when packing your pipe.
  • Reference TobaccoReviews for the best tobacco reviews on the net.

General Pipe Smoking Tricks

  • Pack the tobacco very loose on the bottom. Remember your pipe is like a furnace which feeds the flame from the bottom. Packing your pipe to tightly on the bottom will make it difficult to draw air through the stem.
  • The draw on your pipe should have little to no resistance. Experiment. Find what works for you.
  • If your pipe goes out while smoking don’t be scared to relight.
  • If you have to relight consider dumping some of the ash from the bowl.
