I started smoking a pipe a few months ago. Everyone around me says it smells really good, yet I can't smell my own pipe smoke. Any tips?

Put your pipe down, walk out of the room into fresh air, stay there for a couple of minutes, and go back into the room.
You should be able to smell what they smell.
I tried it myself a couple of times when somebody told me the opposite of what is being told to you, and, to be honest, for some pipe/tobacco combinations they were right.

French inhale--push the smoke out of your mouth with your tongue and inhale through your nose simultaneously. You'll have to keep the back of you tongue against your throat to close off that avenue of inhalation.

Stop smoking for a while, absence may grow the heart fonder.

My method is to hold the smoke in your mouth and gently inhale through the nose; it takes a little practice to not inhale the smoke in your mouth, but I typically think of it as breathing while holding a mouthful of water.

I agree with the reentering a room. You might try drinking coffee and smoking your pipe. coffee beans clears the nasal passages. I frankly love coffee and a good english blend
