Tips for Enhanced Smoking Pleasure
Filling Your Pipe:
Always fill your pipe in layers. An evenly, firmly packed pipe will burn slower and cooler.
Lighting Your Pipe:
An even light can only be obtained by lighting twice. Light your pipe as uniformly as possible, lightly tamp the tobacco and light your pipe again.
Smoking Your Pipe:
You want slow cool smoke. Draw gently on your pipe and savor the flavor of the tobacco. Relax and enjoy the moment. Remember, pipes are to be tasted, not inhaled.
Caring for Your Pipe:
Keep your pipe clean and sweet smoking. Use pipe cleaners frequently to remove any residue and always empty your pipe of all ash and any unused tobacco as soon as you are done smoking.
