[QUOTE="brianr, post: 338844, member: 3277"] I am sure you are a far more experienced pipe smoker than myself but, having recently returned to pipe smoking via a Carey. I had some problems with 'draw' which I have cured. At first I put the problems down to inexperience but, after experimenting with a new packing technique (I had always used 3 layer), the pipe was transformed. I now place a wad of tobacco in my palm, tease it out, and then work the pipe (open end down) over it in a spiral. The pipe seems to pack itself. A slight 'tamp', sprinkle some small strands on top, tamp, and light. I learned the technique from a YouTube video by Foxs of Ireland. It gives a much less dense pack and there is no need to cover the holes in the stem. If you want a longer, slower, smoke, you can (of course) tamp a little more firmly. The video claims the spiral helps the tobacco burn. I certainly rarely have to relight and usually have no 'dottle'. I may buy another Carey but, at the moment, I am building my collection and looking for diversity. I'm looking for a Vauen and may be a Zepplin. Brian [/QUOTE]
