Pipe Newb Questions

Sorry guys for running you all through the same stuff but here goes.

I am new to pipes but have smoked Cigars for about 4 years now. So I only have that to DRAW from get it...... anyway.

1. when I have the bowl lit how much of the surface should be burning at one time. For me please think of looking down the bowl as the top of a cigar. Should the whole thing be lit or what percentage should be lit.

2. How much smoke should be coming from the bowl when I'm not puffing. Should there be a steady stream or just a bit or none at all.

3. Lastly, when puffing should the draw be like air or should there be some resistance? I've read the "Sucking through a straw" but that's not a lot of resistance.

Thanks fellas for clearing some things up.

Munt!
