Here we go through the frequently asked questions If anyone has additions please write. Let's create a more complete guide together

What does it take to start smoking a pipe?

  • Pipe
  • Tamper
  • Lighter
  • Tobacco
  • Well as pipe cleaners for cleaning the pipe smoking.

This is the bare minimum to start enjoying

How often should I clean my pipe

After every smoke.

Do not disassemble your smoking pipe until it has cooled down, otherwise you may damage it.

Ok then which smoking pipe should I buy?

When you go to your local store or online store, you will see many pipe options. The cost of these smoking pipes will vary from a few dollars to infinity. As your first acquaintance, I would recommend an inexpensive smoking pipe - from the cob. This will be enough to get your first experience without spending a lot of money.

We have chosen a pipe, what kind of tobacco should I buy tobacco, you ask me

Going to your favorite internet search engine and typing "tobacco for beginners" will give you a lot of links. But the topic of tobacco is so deep that to describe it in this short FAQ, I will try to write a post in which I will try to convey information in a concise way about tobacco. But I would recommend taking 2 tobaccos, one with Virginia and the second one with Latakia (English blend). These are two tobaccos, they will not reveal the full spectrum of tobaccos to you, but it will be a very good starting point.

You can read more about tobacco in:

Lighter

You can use matches, zippo, etc. But do not use a turbo lighter, there is a chance that you will burn your pipe.

I bought too much tobacco how to store it?

Tobacco is sold in metal cans or in zip bags. In metal cans, provided that it is closed, storage problems should not arise. If it is open, tobacco can dry out. You can use something like a Mason can or ceramic. You will need a sealed jar with a liner, the liner can absorb the smell of tobacco, when you run out of tobacco, replace the lid.

My tobacco is dry, what should I do?

This is not a problem. There are several solutions to this problem. Coming soon

Pipe smoking is safer than cigars or cigarettes

Will smoking a pipe help me quit?
