Been smoking ciggies previously but shift to RYO as it taste better.
brought my 1st starter pipe yesterday at kamelah tobacco house..
got a few questions to ask sifu sifu here..
1) how to light the pipe tobacco? For every puff I need to light it once, it goes off easily, any special technique?
2) how long can i smoke for a bowl of tobacco? Will it damage the wall of the bowl itself? & how often I need to clean the pipe?
3) Search online, other people mentioned for every one pipe they smoke average 2 bowl per day, after that they will left it in between 2-3 days for it to dry off. I dont quite understand why is it neccessary?
4) How often I need to change the filter?
if the embers die off too fast, ure not packing it correctly. suggest watching some tutorial vids on that.
u let it dry of because as hard is it is to believe, the byproduct of a closed burning like that is, moisture. moisture gets into the wood so there is no way to completely dry it. hence, the 2 day drying period. which also means u gotta have more than one pipe if u wanna do it everyday. as for the filter, u replace it when it's black and wet. (yuck) i'll let others correct me if im wrong, and also answer the rest of the questions.
im retired from piping. vaping easier.
