Instructions
Step 1
First of all, you need to purchase smoking accessories. There are many different tube shapes, but the way they work is always the same. When choosing, be guided by your own preferences. It is only desirable that its constituent parts have a good connection and fit tightly to each other. This will eliminate the appearance of cracks in which moisture can accumulate. If you have never smoked a pipe before, the cheapest model is recommended. You can always throw it away or donate it if you don't like this way of smoking.
Step 2
In addition to the tube itself, you can purchase a special brush with which you can clean the accessory after use. The tobacco in the pipe is usually sealed with fingers, and a special tool called a tamper can be purchased for the same purpose. In addition, there are coasters, ashtrays, removable filters and many other accessories that make smoking more comfortable. You also need pipe tobacco to smoke a pipe. There are a huge number of its manufacturers. You can buy their products, for example, in specialized online stores.
Step 3
To make the process of smoking a pipe real pleasure, you need to learn how to properly fill the accessory with tobacco. This can be difficult and requires some practice. Pour some tobacco into the bowl of the pipe. Seal it with a tamper or your finger, so the compacted tobacco should take up about half of the bowl. Pour the tobacco back in, now a little less. Seal it again, after which it should occupy 3/4 of the volume of the bowl. Refill the tobacco and seal again. As a result, the bowl of the tube will be almost completely filled, leaving only a small space on top. Try taking a drag on the pipe without lighting it. If the air does not come in, then the tobacco is too tight. Remove it completely and repeat the process from the beginning.
Step 4
After the tobacco is properly stacked, you need to light it. Use matches for this. The use of lighters can lead to an unpleasant taste. Bring the burning match to the bowl of the pipe and drive it in a circular motion over the surface of the tobacco, it will start to burn gradually. Your task is to ensure that the entire surface of the tobacco burns with a uniform color. If this does not happen, extinguish it using the tamper or let it go out by yourself and try again.
Step 5
The process of smoking a pipe is usually quite long. Try not to rush, otherwise you may feel a strong burning sensation on your tongue. The handset may go out from time to time. This is normal, fire it up whenever this happens. Also, note that most pipe smokers do not inhale the smoke into their lungs, but rather draw it into their mouths and enjoy the aromas. Pipe tobacco is much stronger than regular cigarettes and is therefore not recommended to be inhaled.
