So I am a relatively new pipe smoker, I have been smoking pipes for about 2 months now. Been smoking cigars for a long time before that. Well today, I was at my local B&M smoking some Ashton Rainy Day and I tried packing my bowl using the frank method for the first time.

I DIDN'T HAVE TO RELIGHT ONCE! That was a first for me, I always had issues keeping it from going out on me even relatively quickly after a light. I was very very happy and thus today was a good day. Small victories for newbies.

How's everyone else doing?
