Half Ashed 183: Pipe Night Part Tres

What this episode covers

Pipe Night Part Tres Tonight, we revisit the pipe again, in Part 3 of our Pipe Night Series.  Join us as we talk pipes, tobacco, and a few useful tips and tricks to getting full enjoyment from your pipe.  Craig is smoking Westminster, and Kip something special…. Tonight’s Pipe Night Discussion Pipe smoking and all its associated ephemera and methods are an art – and, a science. Don’t focus on the tools of the trade.  Get basic – but suitable – gear, and experiment with tobacco until you find what suits your preferences. Be simple.  It’s not as complicated as it looks.  It’s not as cumbersome. This hobby is all about enjoyment. Don’t be “that guy” Try stuff. Do stuff. Experimentation is key Relights and tongue bites – and what you can do to prevent them.  Maybe a tip or two about relieving tongue bite should you have gone too far. Tip o’the week: Pipe cleaners – while smoking; after smoking; when cleaning. Discuss drilling/tobacco issues: what you can do before even buying that pipe or tobacco; Tongue bite; prevention & treatment (Biotene/time, tobacco cut and drying) Cleaning and maintenance between smokes. Reminder: Don’t give up if at first it’s not the best experience; Do invest the time and an appropriate amount of money if you really want a lifelong hobby What Else We’ve Been Smoking Craig Santos Miami Crowned Heads Las Calaveras 2018(?)
