[QUOTE="idbowman, post: 461747, member: 2165"] Depends on the blend, but my general approach is to rub a little bit out for the bottom of the bowl, then fold and stuff the rest. If it's ends of the flake at the top of the bowl are loose and crumbly enough, I muss the around a bit before lighting...if not, I rub a tiny bit more out for the top of the pipe - just enough to take readily to the flame and get the thing burning. It took me at least a year to get comfortable enough with folding and stuffing before I felt like I had it "right." It's a little hassle to get it down, I thought, but it's worth getting a nice, long, cool, consistent burn with very few relights (for me, anyway). It does, in my opinion, have an affect on the flavor of the smoke, as well. [/QUOTE]
