My regular smoking buddy knew I was sniffing around the edges of pipe smoking. He chose the occasion of Christmas to pipe bomb me!
I know very little about pipe smoking. He knows a bit, but I want to give it a try soon. Specifically, I have read to discard the filters. Should I should clean after smoking and while still warm?
Can you refer me to a good youtube video of the proper way to pack a bowl and break in a cob (if there is such a thing)?
He gave me 4oz of a burley kake blend. How do I rub it out? Do I need to?
Finally, I like to smoke mild to medium cigars. I prefer mild non-peppery Dominican and Cubans. I'm not particularly interested in aromatics. Can you recommend some tobaccos to try? I have my eye on squadron leader.
Thanks! I'm sure I'll have a bunch more questions soon!
