New Pipe Smoker With A Question? Ask an Old Fart

Try some different things and see what happens.

Oh, this is a must. Smoke your pipe. When done with a bowl, run a pipe cleaner through it. Then let it sit for about 2 days before smoking it again, giving it time to dry out thoroughly.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Thanks for the advice. I haven't gotten tongue bite with this new tobbacco, but I'll try sipping it. I must say I enjoy smoking a pipe, so now that things are going well I'll probably pick up another one.
