[QUOTE="mosin1932, post: 614070, member: 5339"] I can only speak for myself, and believe the only right way to smoke a pipe is if you're enjoying it, but here's my rational. When I first started smoking I was under the assumption that a char light was mandatory and always struggled getting the bowl going, like lots of new pipe smokers I'm sure. By the time I finally learned how to use a pipe, I found myself just lighting it and tamping only enough to keep the tobacco from overflowing the bowl. Once I get a solid ember going I just keep smoking. Since then I periodically try a few charring lights out of curiosity and found that it creates a layer of fine ash ontop of the bowl, which can clog up the draw on an otherwise perfectly packed pipe, while also making it more difficult to light the tobacco underneath. Essentially I've found no value in it, so far. I could also be doing it wrong and haven't mastered it yet lol, so I'll continue trying it once in awhile. [/QUOTE]
