[QUOTE="cutshot, post: 53552, member: 566"] Greetings and welcome to the brotherhood! I have just a couple of comments and or suggestions. First, packing the pipe correctly is probably the single most important step in enjoying your new pipe. Too tight and it will smoke wet (gurgle), and too loose it will smoke hot (toungue bite)! There are several web sites that explain how to pack properly. The advice given above on filling partial bowls is excellent and most recommended. Second is to not give up on your new pipe before it is properly broken in mainly because with a new pipe you will draw out some bitter toxins from the briar while smoking and they can taste pretty bad so the more times you smoke it the better it will smoke for you. Some of my best smokers were unbearable for the first couple of bowls. Don't hesitate to put the pipe down and come back to it a little later. You will be rewarded with a wonderful, cool smoke if you are patient! Enjoy! [/QUOTE]
