How Often Do You Tamp Your Pipe?

 Using the tamponade again, squeeze the tobacco until it is in line with the top of the tube bowl. Then squeeze the surface of the tobacco with the pipe and turn it on again. Bring the pipe to your lips and take a trial shot, and if there is any resistance, drop the tobacco and start over. There may be a little resistance this time, but if you find it difficult to suck on the pipe, pour the tobacco into the bowl and start over. 

Especially for beginners, you will probably have to light the beginner pipe several times to get through the tobacco bowl. Hooves Sometimes while smoking, the tiny smoke hole in the tobacco chamber can become clogged with tobacco, especially after tamping, and even if you can suck the pipe, you won't get much smoke. If the pipe has a particularly tall bowl, the ash can sometimes become so thick that it is difficult to re-ignite the tobacco underneath. If you puff a little vigorously while rotating the flame around the bowl, you should have a well lit pipe. 

Once you've filled your cup to perfection, just add some more tobacco on top. While holding the pipe, drip the tobacco strands into the bowl of the pipe until it is full, being careful not to pinch the melted tobacco, thereby recreating the clumps you just got rid of. Now take the tamper/pipe nail and gently squeeze out the tobacco with even pressure. As soon as the top layer of tobacco is charred and rises to the top of the bowl, stop and let the tobacco smoke out, then take the pipe tamper and squeeze the burnt and rising tobacco. 

Now, using a wooden match or butane flame (as with a cigar, paper matches or liquid-type lighters will give your tobacco an off-flavour), slowly sweep the flame over the tobacco, blowing gently on the pipe as you cover the pipe. the whole area with flames. Take a match or pipe lighter (Zippo makes a good lighter) and run it very slowly and evenly over the tobacco, drawing out the pipe. When you're done, take the spoonful of tempera and scrape off any remaining tobacco (never bang the pipe against anything), and then run the brush over the stem until it's clean. 

If done right, your first cup should be pleasant enough, but if done wrong, your pipe can go on and on. 100- or even 200-year-old wood is white, light, and very porous, so as tobacco combustion by-products gradually seep into the bowl over a long period of time, the seafoam pipe will gradually turn a deep cherry brown.
