Use a gas lighter or wooden matches
Experts who know how to smoke the pipe correctly advise against using gas lighters and cardboard matches. This is due to the fact that tobacco absorbs any odors. So it is preferable to light a pipe with matches or butane. And it is better only with matches, since the burning temperature of butane is much higher than that of wood. Consequently, the flame of the lighter can burn the pipe.
Light the pipe more often
Beginning smokers believe that their experienced colleagues can light a pipe the first time. They believe that if you use a few matches, this will give them newcomers. This should not be shy. All comes with experience. You will need one or two matches only at some smoking championship. Use as many matches as you need. Their manufacturers will be immensely grateful to you.
