How to get started smoking pipes

Great thread! So I bought 2x Cob pipes from my local shop, and got some "Sir Walter Raleigh", "Captain Black", and "Half and Half", all in the pouch. I watched a bunch of videos on packing and I try to use the "Child, Woman, Man" thing but I'm definitely doing something wrong.

I only get a good cloud of smoke if I am relighting (As in I have the flame over the bowl and I'm inhaling). After that I get about 3 puffs of smoke which get less and less dense and the pipe goes out. if I don't puff every 10 seconds or so I don't get anything and the pipe goes out in literally seconds. I've had the exact same problems with all 3 types. The Captain Black especially. Refilling a bowl right now, gonna try this again, maybe a little tighter.
