[QUOTE="shootist51, post: 137719, member: 90"] Skip, I take the flake and cut it lengthwise into stips approximately 1/8" and then cut the strips into about 1/8", so you end up with a small cube of approximately 1/8 square. This is trickled into the bowl and the side of the bowl is lightly tapped to settle the cubes. I DO NOT tamp the tobacco, until such time as it will not take a relight, usually about 1/2 way through the bowl and the using the weight of the pipe nail to provive the only pressure. Though you may have more relights using this method, I find the resulting enjoyment is well worth a few extra matches. [/QUOTE]
