Smoking a New Briar Pipe


The prevalent idea amongst smokers is that when a pipe burns the fault lies entirely in the briar.  Usually this is far from  being the case and may be due to one or more of the following causes :-

·        The dryness of the new pipe making it smoke hot and liable to burn.  To season or to make a new Briar pipe smoke cool, it should be smoked slowly until a protective layer of carbon has formed inside the bowl to avoid the risk of charring the briarwood.
·        Filling tobacco too loosely in the bowl and quick smoking.
·        Smoking in outdoor windy conditions - - - thus forcing a draught in one portion of the bowl, causing it to flame instead of smoulder.  This applies more especially to dry tobacco.
       
Peterson Pipes require no special breaking in treatment but for the first few smokes, only half fill your pipe, firmly but not too tightly.  Light up evenly and smoke slowly, using your tamper to keep the tobacco firm inside the bowl.

Similarly CRACKING of briar may be due to :-

·        Allowing too much carbon to form inside the bowl.  This may cause the wood to split due to outward expansion of the “cake” when the bowl is cooling after use.  The ideal carbon thickness is 1.5mm.
·        Whilst a pipe should be emptied immediately after smoking this should not be done by hitting or knocking the top of the bowl against a hard surface.  The latter may result in a cracked or split pipe.  Ideally, and particularly for heavy smokers, it is recommended that you keep at least three or four pipes alternately in use.  This will ensure maximum smoking pleasure and longer life for your pipe.

Smokers must bear in mind that the Briar Root being wood, is of  its nature combustible, and therefore cannot be absolutely guaranteed against burning, but should any of our pipes burn or crack within 90 days from date of purchase, we will allow a gratis replacement, provided that reasonable care has been taken.  This guarantee covers only one replacement, and does not apply to bowls burst by over-carbonising, bowls worn thin by constant scraping, or pipes which split at the junction of bowl and stem.  Such breakages are usually due to accidental damage.

抽一个新烟斗

斗客中间可能存在一个常见的想法就是，如果烟草在烟斗中燃烧不好，那时因为石楠木的问题。而事实上，其实这两者中间没有什么太大的关系。以下的一些原因，可能导致这个结果：

新烟斗过分干燥，以至于燃烧时温度太高导致烧伤烟斗（按，习惯上的看法是新烟斗没有积碳层导致容易烧伤，不过此文提出了新烟斗干燥，不如常用的斗那么湿，看来也是一个道理）。为了让一只新的烟斗能够以较低温度下抽，慢慢的抽直到一个碳保护层形成，来避免对烟斗本身的损伤。

过于松的装填以及过快的抽，都会导致过热。

在室外抽，风会提供流动的空气，以至于隐火变成明火，特别是对于较为干燥的草。

peterson烟斗不需要特别的开斗过程，但是在一开始的几斗，请只装填到一半，紧一点（也别太紧了）。平均的点燃，慢慢的抽，用你的压棒保持烟草在斗中一直处于紧的状态。



同样的，烟斗的开裂可能因为：

在烟斗中积累过多的积碳。这可能，在烟斗冷却的时候积碳层外面的膨胀导致石楠开裂。理想的碳层厚度是1.5毫米。

当烟斗需要在吸完之后立刻清洁，千万别在坚硬表面敲击。理论上，一个经常抽烟的人，推荐至少有3/4个烟斗能够轮换。这可以保证最好的吸烟效果和更长的烟斗寿命。

后面是peterson允许你在90天之内更换抽爆裂的斗，以及一些免责条件。

新烟斗过分干燥，以至于燃烧时温度太高导致烧伤烟斗。
感觉这句话有一点的道理，所以还是涂抹一点东西为上。
