Thanks gents! This info helps a lot. I've never smoked a pipe before and have no clue. I've read some great threads about caring for the pipe but none (so far) about packing the bowl. What type of lighter or match should be used? I keep my cigars between 62% and 64%.

I am pretty excited to get the pipes from my old man, clean them up and put fire to one.
