There are many elements that pertain to smoking pipe tobacco. It's not merely a matter of putting fire to tobacco, similarly to other forms of smoking. It takes thought and precision, science and art. Only a few tobacconists care enough about the smoker. These help the smoker perfect every part of the smoking experience, and it's the kind of commitment that Smoker's Outlet has to customers.
A typical example of this is packing and lighting a pipe in the proper way. That's something only a few smokers can claim to know how to do right, even after years of experience. So, how should you pack and light a pipe?
How to Pack and Light Your Pipe
Packing the Pipe
We're assuming you've picked pipe tobacco you're confident will please you. We usually recommend smokers begin with subtle, earthy pipe tobaccos such as OHM Pipe Tobacco 1 lb Turkish Red and Golden Harvest Pipe Tobacco 1 lb Silver.
Now, you need to bring out your pipe to try it. Hold the pipe with its bowl facing upward. Take a pinch of tobacco and place it loosely in the bowl. Tamper it gently, ensuring there is room for air to flow.
The next pinch of tobacco should go in with tighter tampering. Still, it should be loose enough to not squash it.
The third pinch should round the thigs up, sealing off airflow with its tight tampering.
Always test the draw with each pinch by puffing gently on the mouthpiece. Once there's no obstruction, you're ready to light the tobacco. If it feels otherwise, empty it and do it again. That's the kind of precision that pipe-smoking demands.
Lighting the Tobacco
It's essential to have a soft flame lighter or, at the very least, a match. There are lighters for pipe smoking. These lighters draw the flame sideways.
For pipe smoking, avoid windproof or jet flame lighters. The issue with these lighters is that by burning through the briar, they can do permanent damage to your pipe.
The first stage of lighting is a simple charring of the top tobacco layer. This process bakes the excess moisture away. Do this by running the flame around half an inch above the chamber, rotate it slowly in a circle, and puff gently.
You need to allow the light to dissipate while you tamper gently.
Finally, repeat the initial step. But, hold the flame directly to the tobacco and puff with more frequency than before, but still keeping it mild. This action draws the flame deeper, igniting the tobacco properly.
