I tried my first pipe bowl tonight, and it was not a great experience. I started with captain black original. Placed more than a bowlful in a paper bowl to air dry for about 70 minutes in a 40% humidity room. I packed my pipe (medium Mr Brog briar). My pipe has a 9mm charcoal filter. Draw was like soda through a straw. Had to puff hard 2-3 times every 10-15 seconds to try to keep it lit. Had to relight 5-6 times. The bowl never got hot. No tongue bite. Took 30 mins to smoke. Very disappointed in the lack of flavor and satisfaction. I normally smoke medium to strong cigars. I also have Mississippi river and Edward G Robinsons tobacco’s to try. More concerned with my technique than anything. Any suggestions?</p></blockquote><p></p>
