[QUOTE="Trout Whisperer, post: 515263, member: 4217"] Thank you for your responses! I [b]greatly[/b] appreciate your insight! Yes, 3/4 or more seems reasonable, and I tamp the ash. It is possible I've packed the bowl too tightly. I've tried packing more loosely than I've read and seen demonstrated, but I will continue to experiment. Yes, the "leftovers" from most of the bowls seemed wet. I may very well have puffed too aggressively, perhaps because I struggle to keep the darn thing lit. I typically let the tobacco air-dry for 10-30 minutes, though only the G&H ropes seem too wet when I remove them from the jar and rub them. Perhaps I should err on the dry side until summer. Yet another vote for wet tobacco and rushing the smoke. I will try dumping the ash halfway through, as well as allowing the pipe to dry (and my fingers to thaw) for a while. I know there is a sweet spot there, and I'm intent on finding it! Have great week, fellas! [/QUOTE]
