Hey all!
I'm relitively new to pipe smoking... but I've been having a heck of a time 1) keeping my pipe lit for more than 10 minutes... (I'm sure we've all been there), and 2) I've been having getting this moist dottle towards the level of the draft hole that i just can't keep lit. Even if it's not very moist... So in essence, I don't think I'm building much cake on the bottom. This is really happening with most all of my briar pipes with the exception of my MM cobs.
I have been drying my tobaccos. Some pipes are filtered, others are not.
Also... How do some of you guys clench without making a tobacco slurpee? Gees. I feel like I'm drooling like crazy if i'm not careful.
Any Ideas?
