Only fill it halfway for your first pipefull, and fill it in stages, tamping lightly between fills. You can check the pack by drawing on the pipe. It should never feel like it's difficult at all. You want a nice easy draw.

Yea, I'd store it stem up. They make nice inexpensive wooden holders you can keep it in. Maybe get one that holds a few pipes. You can smoke it more than once a day, but if you were a full time smoker, it's best to cycle through a few of them.

i'll have to take a peep next time i'm down at that smoke shop. they had a lot of great shit there and he helped me pick a good pipe out. he told me those $100 dollar ones are more of a fashion statement than a good smoke and right then I knew I wanted to support his little shop. I will probably store it with my shot glasses and stuff in the cabinet.....

anyone know where I can get some tweed suits?

I really am diggin this one http://www.harristweedshop.com/jacket-light-sports.html

If I want to burn something that smells good, I'll breakout the Frankincense and burn that.

I like the pipe, hope you enjoy(ed) :)

It was actually really relaxing. I just sat in my comp chair and puffed it for like 20 minutes. I had problems packing and lighting it at first, but after I got it to light it was nice....and my room just smells like incense now.

I dont understand that sienfeld skit

Kramer turns his apartment into a classy smokers club, so all these dudes come to hang out every night and smoke cigars and pipes in his apartment.

After a week or so, (yeah, they embellish quite a bit), his face becomes gray and craggy, his eyes bloodshot and his teeth brown and yellow.

In that pic, he realizes what has happened to him.

:D
