Pipe Smoking101- Lighting your pipe - 6of7

[ReturnOfTheBrenj]

ever since my gf got me a pipe for my birthday last year, i've had some trouble getting a good experience with my pipe. I really like your videos and they helped out a lot.

[21koepplinger]

Great Tutorial Eric. After nine years of smoking pipe's I have finally learned the proper way. Thanks.

do u inhale?

Hey guys check out my video for some awsome smoke rings and banter between me and my friends , im gonig to start doing all tobacco related videos on cigars,pipes,and cigarettes so there will be something for everyone.

[ryoung4888]

What kind of pipe did you use in this video?

[djapana2000]

The process of lighting your pipe properly? as opposed to what? the process of trying to light your pipe with a banana? come on, you gotta be kidding me!

[deagle02]

I wish I saw this and the series when I started. I spent more money on a pipe than I was really comfortable with but I'm ok with it now, however, I think I scorched the top of the pipe because I "huffed on it like a freight train" (HaHa that is awesome funny). BTW my first pipe was a Peterson at near $75 because I had to start with quality to "know" if I enjoy the hobby. I learned a lesson in my young age.

How does the charring light not stay lit but then the second light does?

[getmeoutofiraq05]

im new to smoking and was wondering how hot of a pipe is to hot on the bowl and how long does a pipe last. It seems like i was outside for a hour. also how often should i take a draw from a pipe?

[AssasinLikeway]

very helpfull.

[pong415]

When you smoking the pipe, does it have to be a lot of smoke to come out or not?

Thank You

I use a zippo windproof lighter. is this bad for the pipe?

[kswiss2783]

My speakers are broken so I can't hear the video, but I did have one question. Is using a regular lighter still feasible or does it make lighting any more complicated? (beginner pipe smoker here)

[rainman101ify]

hey there. thanks a lot for the video. the first time i tried to smoke a pipe was a couple days ago and it was an epice fail. lol but i looked up some videos on here and found yours. very helpful. i have one question. are you suposed to be able to taste the tabacco as well as you can smell it?(if u know what i mean)

[AVGreaser]

I like your lighter!! beautiful pipe!!

[batuhantasli]

Great video! But i have a problem:

I'm lighting my pipe with this method well. But after smoking almost half of tobacco, tobaccos at edge are burning out. What is problem? Sorry for my english, i hope you understand me. Thank you.

[ericoahu]

@batuhantasli Try experimenting with the density of your pack. Also, keep it lightly and gently tamped. Frequently touch the bed of ashes with your tamper - about every few puffs. Hope that helps and thanks for commenting.

[Sniper1968]

Great video! I never thought of lighting a pipe this way. You method works really well. Also what type of lighter are you using?

[omnicowdemon]

That too was more helpful knowledge. I made the mistake with my first two smokes by "using the elbow grease" and packing it much to tight. Its really nice to have this "how to" on pipe smoking.

[kingmessiah41]

your video on lighting a pipe has saved my

tongue from total destruction.i have always tried

to make it like molten lava that the pipe could

smoke without me drawing on it.now i enjoy the

relights & it smokes alot cooler.

also thanks for your recommendation on

hearth & home classic burley kake.i love it & i

cannot believe i am smoking burley & my tongue is not falling off.thanks

[SickTwoGraffiti]

Haha "molten lava " nice. ;DD :)

[ravenshotred]

@kingmessiah41 Hey, another great way to have a cooler smoke is to try a Churchwarden Pipe.

Hey Eric! Great video. As a beginning pipe smoker, I've learned a lot! I use a Colibri butane lighter. When doing the charring light and regular light should I not do it as long? As you know, the butane is a hot blue flame :)

Thanks!

[1968eric]

Are you using a jet lighter? If so, definitely keep the flame near the pipe no more than a second or so at a time.

As for a regular butane lighter like I'm using in the video (a Corona Old Boy) I've had no problems using that type of flame as demonstrated in the video.

[Michaelb770]

hey i went to the website and it doesnt seem to be working?

[l8fbb23451]

sweet lighter what type is it?

[1968eric]

Corona Old Boy

Eric,

This is the first video I've seen on lighting a pipe. I really appreciate this video!

Best Regards,

Guillermo

[jeffmyers1]

Without a doubt, the proper way to light a pipe!

Unfortunately, many novice pipe smokers fail to realize this important "rule of thumb."

In addition, there are several "self-appointed experts" on You Tube who need to implement this important lesson into their own pipe smoking excursions.

[1968eric]

Thank you Kind Sir! I have an impatient moment here in there where I would do well to take my own advice as well.

I appreciate the comment. Did you find the Sonny Rollins album?

[jeffmyers1]

Sounds like Sonny Rollins!

[1968eric]

I'm truly glad you liked them. I'm always happy to answer any questions you may come up with - send me a comment here or on my blog. Also, have a look at the other video here by the Youtube pipe smoking folks.

[Mushybrainz]

I'm new to pipe smoking and I've watched your entire series and my were they all very very helpful. Thank you Eric for taking the time to make these videos.

[yarrick513]

is that a corona old boy lighter?

[1968eric]

Yes it is. Great lighters. Some of the best money I've spent in 15 years with this hobby.
