[QUOTE="Carlos, post: 149680, member: 7"] Loose is relative. When I am packing a bit looser than normal, I am giving room for the tobacco to expand when the coal gets to it and heats it up. Cubed burley is a fine example as you can see the cube expand a lot when the fire gets to it. Too loose and it won't stay lit at all. Too tight and when it expands it will restrict the airflow, increasing the velocity of the moving air, and increasing the temperature of the burn. [/QUOTE]
