[QUOTE="KevinM, post: 264717, member: 2318"] Also, how do you light your pipe? And do you have anyone with a bit of experience in piping that you could watch? For a newcomer, I'd suggest a nice box of kitchen matches, since they're easy to control. And, yes, you need to practice lighting the surface evenly though not deeply. A good descriptive word I've heard used is to let the flame "dance" over the tobacco surface. Hold the match down close to the tobacco. And yes, do the charring or false light, let it go out, tamp lightly, then light again. When there were more pipesters learning this was a lot easier, 'cause you could just watch and pick up the knack quickly. But it sounds like you're well on your way. [/QUOTE]
