[QUOTE="Lonecoyote, post: 496941, member: 4073"] [b]RB[/b] Excellent point, how you pack a pipe or how tight you press or tamp the tobacco makes a BIG difference how cool the tobacco smokes. Improper packing or over packing can cause severe tongue and palate issues. I basically do a gravity drop and a light press to the tobacco with a finger once the chamber is roughly 3/4 full. I never over stuff a pipe, no reason to, can always have another. Some pipers use the Frank method, consisting of 3 separate packs to a pipe. First is a gravity drop, second would be another gravity drop with a medium press/tamp and the third is topping off the pipe with tobacco and a medium firm press/tamp. To much of a hassle for me, my way works fine and has for years. But packing a pipe tight has never worked for me, and I know a few pipers that still do and wonder why they get a tongue bite and burnt gritty palate. Now, let's add too this thread...[b][color=#ff0000]HOW DO YOU PACK YOUR PIPE[/color][/b] this should be interesting. [b]KEEP ON PUFFING!!![/b] [/QUOTE]
