[QUOTE="Puff Daddy, post: 181279, member: 3"] Welcome! IMHO, the concept of lighting a pipe and keeping it lit, smoking continously from start to end of bowl, is highly over rated. Light the pipe a time or two, lightly tamp the ashes down, let the tobaccco settle down, and sip at a leisurely pace. If you have to relight a lot so what. Usually nicotine problems come from smoking too quickly so don't smoke quickly, smoke nice and slow. Take your time, enjoy it, never let the bowl get too warm, you'll enjoy your tobacco a lot more. As to packing, the basic concept is looser at the bottom, a little tighter at the top. You do not accomplish this by ovr packing and squooshing the contents down as the tobacco will inevitably be tight at the bottom. There are youtube videos on proper pipe packing. I'd reccomend a light, flavorful burley. The problem with many aromatics is that they are built on tobaccos that are either inferior or are of the nature that they will zorch yourmouth when you puff hard on them, like the many brown cavendish base tobaccos used. I'd reccomend MacBaren Burley London blend, or GL Pease BarbaryCoast, or Uhle'sPerfection Plug. These are all built on very good tobacco, have excellent flavors and are pipe friendly. [/QUOTE]
