HOW TO SMOKE A PIPE | Everything You Need to Know to Start Enjoying the Hobby

[@Biltzeebub]

For my reference Condition of tobacco: 7:40 Packing your tobacco: 8:07 Lighting your pipe: 12:30

[@BlackAdder665]

I'm a pipe smoker for almost 20 years now and subscribe to everything Brad says here. It's excellent advice, listen to it! :-) I'd just like to add some little things: 1. I prefer using a finger or thumb when filling the bowl. I think it provides a more precise feeling for how tight you fill and I think this feeling is important. But in the end every pipe smoker has his own techniques and nuances. 2. Sometimes too much ashes on top of your tobacco creates an ashy taste. If that occurs definitely tip the pipe and tap some of the ashes out. 3. Not only can a pipe cleaner soak up some of the moisture, there is also sometimes a little tobacco piece blocking the draw, you can remove it with the cleaner, too, i.e. push it back into the bowl.

[@andreib2148]

I like to finger my pipe too. Even when lit.

For 1 I do: fill your pipe by scooping and tapping it softly on a surface or your hand to pack it. Then as you reach the rim, you put a little more into it and you press it down softly with your thumb and keeping your thumb on the opening you rotate it in between your index finger and thumb, creating a nice and even layer. This creates a fairly loosely packed pipe, but very evenly. I use gravity 😅

[@w.harrison7277]

You say one doesn't inhale pipe tobacco, then what level of nicotine does it deliver vs chewing tobacco or cigarettes? And is the nicotine for a beginner a dizzying dose or more subtle than that? Does one get "hooked" on pipe smoking in the sense of craving nicotine where the result is a distinct time pattern of usage?

[@UnlistedAccount]

I prefer using a polished Zippo. Because at the right angle it allows me to look into the pipe like a mirror, to see how it's burning. And i'd recommend anyone to look up the breathe method. Breathe normally through your nose, slowly swish your mouth like when using mouthwash, until your mouth is filled with smoke. Great video!

[@Psilomuscimol]

Clippers are nice, so maybe the metal version will be even better

[@MrMojoRisin13]

Budget alternatives for newbies: ditch the $100 plus briar and go for a corn cob. If you decide that smoking a pipe isn't for you, you're out $5-$10 dollars. And they smoke fine and typically very dry so you won't need to use as many pipe cleaners. Skip the ashtray. Smoke outside or just buy a clay flow er pot for a couple of bucks in which to dump your ashes. Tobacco: In my opinion there are two OTC blends that taste okay--not great, but okay--that are easy to find, load easily, light easily, remain lit, and smoke dry. These are Carter Hall and Prince Albert. Again, they're not the greatest of tobaccos, but if you're just starting out you'll want to smoke something that is forgiving of the beginner's tendencies to over pack, smoke too fast, and tamp too hard. All told, you've spent less than $20 bucks and that includes your Czech tool and pipe cleaners. If you decide that smoking is for you, then you can move up to more expensive briar pipes and finer tobaccos. But then, I am a CHEAPASS, so ymmv.

[@CosmicPipe]

I agree. For $15.00 - $20.00 you can dabble and get a great classic pipe experience. The material required is easily found at many drugstores, grocery stores and gas stations across the country. No online shopping and shipping lead time required. 1. Get a small Cobb (like a Missouri Pride, $7). Small pipe is best to minimize cost and nicotine for a beginner. 2. Buy a tasty over the counter tobacco blend that comes in a sealed pouch, like Prince Albert, Sir Walter Raleigh, or Carter Hall. ($5). These smoke relatively easy, don't require drying, and have an enjoyable classic flavored burleyl/Virginia tobacco taste. It's not fancy but you get the spirit of a good tobacco blend. Bradley made a great point worth echoing, as a beginner avoid the tobacco blend Velvet, Half & Half, Captain Black and Borkum Riff. Those tobacco blends are very difficult to smoke and almost certainly will burn your tongue and/or be a bad experience. #Pro tip - Repurpose the tobacco pouch as a carrying case for your pipe and 1-2 bowls of tobacco. Fits easily in pants, shirt, or coat pocket. 3. Czech tool $2 (this is optional, you can tamp with a nail head or finger just as well). 4. Small box of matches or a Bic lighter. $3 I collect artisan briar pipes but smoke cobb pipes at least 50% of the time. Some blends will taste better in a cobb and some a briar. Another really important point. Cobbs travel better. You can take the bit off at will (so it packs in a smaller space). Never travel with the bit in the pipe. High probability it will snap off. Don't learn that the hard way. If you decide you don't like the pipe experience or you break or lose a Cobb you won't fret or have regrets.

[@williammiao8862]

For people who wants to switch from cigarettes to pipes I will recommend Missouri Meerschaum’s nose warmers, cheap and compact, and pair with a small tobacco pouch take up about the same space as a pack of cigarettes.

[@plexibreath]

I started about four years ago from SaT's original series on learning how to smoke a pipe. I started with the corn cob Country Gentleman and loved it. I've since collected several Savanilli briar pipes and they are very nice. But nothing is quite as nice at the first Country Gentleman, such a smooth smoke, I've gone through several stems, but it still smokes great. For a good introductory blend I'd recommend Dunhill's Standard Mixture, it's easy to pack the bowl, burns well, tastes great, and nicotine content is mild.

I bought a fair briar pipe for 30$ and some cheap tobacco( I didnt want to buy expensive stuff if it wasnt for me) and I much prefer pipe to cigars and cigarettes. Plus there much cheaper over time.

[@carlkessler303]

Love your videos. I do disagree regarding cob versus briar pipes. I think learning on cob is best for a couple reasons. First, they are very, very forgiving with wet tobacco. Second, it's very easy to monitor the temperature in a cob. It tells you right away when you are puffing to fast. The briar doesn't give you feedback that quickly. I truly enjoy both my cob pipes and my briar pipes.

[@peter-radiantpipes2800]

Got into pipes. August of last year. Went a bit crazy. I've got 24 pipes and 60+ blends now. Just got a ton of equipment for making them and refurbishing. Love it!!

[@sasquatchman0012]

Lol, I love how one of the first things he said was to not go for a Gandalf pipe. I’m not quite sure I would agree, although what he says makes sense. My first pipe was a Savinelli Churchwarden. For me it was a great pipe to start out on. It is easy enough to clean and because of the long stem, the smoke it produces is fairly cool and manageable. I think certain churchwardens lend themselves towards beginners because of the cool smoke. Sometimes a shorter straight pipe heats up a bit quicker which could be unpleasant to new pipe smokers. Anyway, just thought I’d help the beginners looking to unleash their inner Gandalf. For me, my first pipe was either going to be a churchwarden or Sherlock because of their popularity in books and film. The only thing I would say about a church warden is that they aren’t comfortable for clenching in your teeth. A shorter pipe would be better for that since there is less length and weight being forced down by gravity.

[@stevekoutros9358]

The word is finding the right "cadence." So each pipe and each baccy have their own characteristics that take time to learn each combination...this the part of learning to enjoy the hobby. Thanks Bradley for these 19 minutes, we can all learn something new, no matter how experienced!

[@Psilomuscimol]

I have learned about how tight to stamp the bowl all on my own. Because I wanted it smoother. And smoother. And found a nice tightness that let's it smoke slow for what I was smoking at least. I do prefer floral cigars, so I'm looking for a pipe tobacco similar to acid cigars. Floral. Like potpourri

[@paulmatkin7392]

I started smoking a pipe last week.I had a cheap resin pipe from a cheap tobacco shop and a packet of at Bruno which nearly put me of pipes for life.ive since watched your video and done some research and have now travelled to a decent pipe accessories etc shop where I brought an aromatic pipe tobacco called American delight with cocoa flavours vanilla and fruits,it's also mild,and that coupled with a Italian Molina briar straight billiard pipe has really changed things..I have been having to puff alott and had gurgling but after watching this video I'll now know how to sort that side of things out ..thanks, great begginners video .

[@MrNoucfeanor]

Love my Gandalf pipes. Smaller ones are great as well of course! Some times you just don't want to deal with cleaning a complex, long pipe. Really useful information. Cheers from Texas!

[@michaelhanna1581]

I have to say Thank you, I've been an avid cigar smoker for a while, love my Padróns, beautiful cigar. I just recently took up a pipe, nothing to fancy but a nice little Straight billiard, think I spent about $65 on it and now that I've seen your video I know I have been packing it wrong and also realized I had forgotten to purchase the most important thing, cleaners, it never occurred to me about the moisture gathering, learn something new everyday, of course it's not something you think about with cigars but again thank you for the video and I am now subscribed. think I'm going to have to try some of that tobacco you have too.

[@danielgray7742]

Your video is the 1st I seen where I got a proper light and didn't have to relight after every puff. Making my smoking experience exponentially better. Thank you thousand times over

[@stuffandthingsyoutube]

I'm glad it was helpful!

[@bamagtrdude]

a good friend of mine asked me about pipe smoking; i sent him a Grabow just like the saddle bit pipe you showed, and a cob - Carter Hall & Lane 1-Q - cut a quick 1 min video on how to pack & light & said "HAVE FUN" ...

[@bigernbladesmith]

Very clear and concise. I still use the same method of packing you showed myself. My father taught me how to pack like that 22 years ago. It is still my preferred method to this day. Why? 'Cuz it works well.

[@machiventa858]

What about when you only want to have about 5-10 puffs? Do you still pack the pipe full and leave the rest for another time? Or do you just pack it a quarter to half full?

[@tommy2nes]

Tamping is so important, when I learnt to tamp properly it made everything so much easier. As you said you keep the ember in contact with the tobacco otherwise you puff and puff and all you end up doing is creating nasty moisture. Personally I would recommend pipes with 9mm charcoal filters which for me take away an enormous amount of harshness and allow me to enjoy the pipe much more and I don't think it alters the flavour too much. Also I recommend ribbon cut tobacco for a begginer.

[@BlackAdder665]

I think for a beginner it's better to learn without a filter. A filter alters the draw and that's something a beginner has to learn. One has to choose a mild high quality tobacco, though. Exception: I smoke almost all MacBaren blends with a charcoal filter. Apparently they're meant to be smoked with one.

[@tommy2nes]

@@BlackAdder665 thats a perfectly valid opinion. Yeah macbarrens are mostly flavoured apart from hh range right? filters are especially good for flavoured tobacco imho.

[@PastorJack1957]

Thanks. After 25 years of not smoking a pipe, I didn't realize how much I didn't know. I just bought a Italian Briar pipe. Now I know why the cherry vanilla tobacco bites my tongue . I'll try a mild batch tomorrow.

Smoker's Value Black Cavendish and Borkum Riff Cherry Liqueur is the first types of pipe tobacco I had started smoking back when I was 21 or 22 and this was back in 2009.

Just not long ago got my first pipe. Not had any tounge bite as yet. Started out with a Rattray's Old Gowrie. Smoked the whole tin over a month, and tried a vanilla aromatic, called Holger Danske, Magic V. Really enjoying the aromatic. Those might be my choice going forward. These videos have a great help.

[@abdelazizyasser3512]

Borosilicate glass pipes are a fantastic option as they are more resistant to breaking than other types of glass. They are also more heat resistant and will not break or crack if they come into contact with a flame.thanks for sharing

Thanks for the info!

[@rickymiller76]

Excellent and helpful video. I wish I had this resource when I first started pipe smoking years ago. Could have saved me a good bit of money and frustration!

[@purumr]

Just one additional info for new smokers, you may get tingling uncomfortable sensation on tongue after smoking a bowl or two. It is commonly known as tongue bite, it is caused because 1) tobacco was too wet and smoked without drying it first, or 2) you are puffing frequency is too much trying to keep it lit or to produce more smoke. Avoid it, relighting many times may be needed in the beginning until you learn the technique, but sip it slowly. Another suggestion is, limit to 1 or 2 bowls per day, may be just 1 bowl per day in the beginning until your mouth gets used to it. Lot of new folks quit pipe smoking because of tonque bite.

[@petershallis2294]

Phoenix excellent point.

New subscriber here. I picked up the hobby a couple months ago. Started with a Grabow Omega, graduated to a Peterson System. Enjoying Cavendishes currently. Was drawn to your content for cultural sympathy. I'm an urbanite occultist/musician into mid-century lounge/exotica and 60s garage punk. I have a hard time relating to the more rural/southern pipe content creators - not that I'm making a value judgment. Anyway, thanks for being relatable.

Bradley I have a challenge for you. When loading the pipe, at the second tamp down, stop slightly below the brim of the bowl and call it good. You may find you like the way it smokes far better than the thrice tamped bowl.

'Macbaren 7 seas regular' is one good option for beginners even though it is aromatic.

I started enjoying the occasional pipe last year. I started with the Dunhill EMP, and right away bought a couple of tins after really enjoying that blend.

[@christophercaples4644]

Very good video, sir. My only recommendation is that starting with a light aromatic is not a bad idea. Some people can hit the ground running with a non-aro, but a lot of people get into the hobby, I presume, because of dad and grandad's Cherry Cavendish. Then they can evolve from there. I suggest 1Q. It's very subtle and still a good tobacco taste. But let it dry out for a minute. Just my 2 cents.

[@jdesoftflamepiper2731]

Bradley, excellent video. I believe it covers all the basics; I say that because I just started re-enjoying a pipe when the Covid experience hit us all in March. I watched probably 20+ hours of YPTC videos because I really enjoy Cigars and was frustrated with pipes many years ago so I knew I was doing something wrong. What an educational experience was offered on KZbin. I have added to my original two pipes and now only have a total of eight but can make a rotation. Through the information given by you and some other YPTC enthusiast I have 18 non-aromatic & 9 what might be classified as having some flavoring (Solani aged burley flake) but only two are definite aromatics. I am just learning about this great addition to my lifestyle but would say that the one thing you had on your video that I’ve seen on no others, at this point, was an ashtray. That one small piece is a very helpful addition when enjoying a pipe! In any case I rambled on quite a lot but just want to say keep up the good flow of information. Many Thanks,

I'm not too fussy about the charring light. After the initial charring attempt, I have found that I can get the pipe going well enough if you tamp and puff simultaneously after you get some embers going. The charred disc doesn't have to be perfect, considering that within several minutes, (assuming you are not puffing like a steam locomotive), you will probably do a re-lit with a light tamp anyway. I have found that it is helpful to twist the tamper while you 'tamp-while-puffing'. I guess it depends on one's degree of O.C.D., lol. (I should talk, being a perfectionist for most other things, myself.)
