[QUOTE="Kyle Weiss, post: 211598, member: 1969"] 100% agreed--I should have mentioned this in the original review. I'm kind of a "snorker" with my pipes, and love incorporating the nose with the palette (in my opinion if someone isn't somehow using smell to help taste, part of the picture is missing) and this one blooms when one retrohales--at least for me, anyway. If anyone is curious about how I do this "protoexahaling" (or retrohale/snorking), it's kind of taking the mouthful of smoke you've just drawn and pushing a little through the back of your nasal passages--not necessarily inhaling or exhaling, but once you've pushed some smoke into your nose, you then use your lungs to keep pushing it out (assuming you don't breathe weirdly while you draw smoke). At least that's what I do, and certain blends/mixes really need it, while others don't. Latakia seems to respond well to it, as do fire-cured VAs or Kentuckys--but watch out for those, they may bite ya and make your eyes water... :twisted: Billy Budd needs the full experience. 8) Also this. I think someone noobish can try BB without fear, but make sure it's dry, in a larger-bore tobacco chamber, pack loose, go SLOW, and sit it down a few times mid-smoke to get that awesome DGT. [/QUOTE]
