    64yo grandpa here. Haven't smoked a pipe since my college years and tobacco only a few times. Came across my mint Whitehall Italy briar from 1981. Did buy Captain Black because I'm old school, but with your help my first evening was real enjoyment. My house smells terrific. A new hobby. Thank you.

    Oh my gosh after watching countless videos on smoking a pipe. I can honestly say yours has been the best one, straight talking, step by step valuable instructions, and your advice is absolutely amazing especially the ‘what not to do section’ Thank you so much. Also I had no idea that different blends of tobacco has to be packed and smoked differently which is probably why my experience has always been unpleasant. I normally take a sip of water in between draws to help prevent tongue bite.

    I've also heard you never use a torch lighter on pipes because it can damage the pipe, which isn't a concern with cigars.

    Don’t just throw away a new tin of tobacco, for whatever reason you think you don’t like it. Give it some time. Try it more than once or twice, especially if you ar new to smoking, because you will have different opinions as time goes on and experience is acquired. Over all, great start up video. But I believe the smoking method is the most important part of learning to smoke which you said you were going to make a video about, so that’s great.

    Great job. You must like the vanilla custard, looks like you have a lot of it. I wouldn’t pack very, very tight on the last load. You never mentioned using matches to light your pipe. Looking forward to your future videos. Great start. 👍😃

      @@Incandescentiron I think it's very calming and there's something fun about the ritualistic nature of smoking a pipe specifically. There's technique that goes into it that cigars and cigarettes just don't have. It's a whole experience in my opinion.

    What are the cons of inhaling? I’m using a pipe to get away from cigarettes. You and another guy have both said “you don’t inhale pipes” but even when I smoke cigars I inhale them. The extra bite feels great and I love it.
    Is it worse for you to inhale say an organicly grown Virginia compared to a cigarette?

      I inhaled my pipe and let me tell you it was the most delicious smoke I’ve ever had in my life. If I were to go back to smoking any tobacco, it would be with a pipe and inhaling it. Not only did I have the beautiful flavours of just letting it sit in my mouth, but I also got that nice little bite I craved in my throat. It was the best time I’d ever had ingesting tobacco.

      I also did everything you did. Amazon pipe, shitty vanilla aromatic tobacco, burnt the shit outta my tongue. Almost everyone’s first experience with a pipe is something like that and i think that’s what turns people off of it. I kept going (been at it for like 6 years now, currently 27) and I smoke a pipe everyday. It’s so relaxing. Can’t imagine life without it lol

    I'm going to be switching from my mod to a pipe in the near future. Just because I hate it honestly, and I'm really missing cigarettes, but my husband hates the smell. He suggested we get into pipe smoking, so I've been doing my research. I'm to excited to start. This was really so helpful. Thanks a bunch.
