A few things could be the cause. #1, don't try to get big gales of smoke like from a cigarette or cigar. Pipes have to be sipped, đrawn on vey lightly or they will burn hot. #2 tobacco must be dry, just short of crumbly or it will be steamy, hot and hard to keep lit. #3 can't inhale like a cigarett...

Note - I have no problems with the Pipe itself, I just don't like what I'm smoking out of it even though it seems like regular Pipe tobacco that everyone uses?

Title says it all. What. Am. I. Doing. Wrong. ? I've got a small Bulldog style Briar, what I did was put a couple dashes of Plum&Rum Pipe tobacco and light it. I expected big plumes of tasty and relaxing flavoured tobacco but instead I got a charred mouth from flavourless, spicy and hot steam......
