[QUOTE="Carlos, post: 34953, member: 7"] Just a quick comment. I have found that many aromatics are not easy to smoke. I think it takes a fair bit of experience to get the best from them. For some reason beginners seem to be always pointed in that direction and end up tongue bit and pipe shy. Technique, learning how a pipe needs to be packed for you is very important and practice will make perfect. It can vary with the blend and moisture level. And other considerations. But a general rule is to pack a pipe with three portions. The first pinch needs to be fairly loose. Packed with the hand of a child. The second pinch a little firmer, packed with the hand of a woman. The last pinch should fill the pipe and should be firm, but not tight. Packed with the hand of a man. If it's overfull, carefully pull some out. You will see experienced pipe smokers testing the packing with their thumb. It should be springy. Tobacco expands when heated and it must have room or a pipe will be hard to smoke and possibly cause tongue bite. [/QUOTE]
