Someone here, in an effort to help me avoid smoking my va/pers too hot, suggested that I learn to breathe with the pipe. I didn't know what that meant until a couple of days ago when I experimented with clenching, rather than holding, my pipe. My technique as a holder has been to puff a little smoke into my mouth, remove the pipe from said mouth, and exhale. While experimenting with the "clenching" technique I found myself exhaling through the pipe (at least partially). This seemed to cool the smoke resulting in a more flavorful and less biting next puff. I expanded on this epiphany by employing a technique offered by Kyle. He had suggested rehydrating tobacco that had become too dry by slowly breathing a couple of lung fulls of air into the pipe. I started doing this between re-lights and, coupled with an occasional exhale through the pipe while smoking, my va/per smoking has become a lot more enjoyable.
Just thought I'd share this newb's discovery of a technique that is probably obvious to the less obtuse.
