[QUOTE="KevinM, post: 411405, member: 2318"] My opinion is that tobaccos do best when packed loosely and smoked slowly. You've noticed my previous posts on the combustion triangle, perhaps? The large pot bowl makes it easier to pack the pipe loosely with any kind of tobacco. The smaller / narrower the bowl, the more attentive the pipe packer must be to leave a sufficient amount of air space in the packed bowl. Conical bowls -- like Dubs -- have to be packed very loosely in the bottom, loose in the top and a slightly firm, but springy surface. And it all has to do with the fire triangle -- heat, fuel, air. I've noticed some pipers get into a habit of selecting a quantity of tobacco before paying much attention to the pipe. In effect, they use a one-size-fits-all approach to packing, and wonder why their smaller bowled briars get hot, wet and in need of relights. It's overstuffing. Good idea to monitor one's own habits.
