[QUOTE="alfredo_buscatti, post: 299228, member: 36"] I remembered one packing adage last fall which continues to work well for me. I had always been concerned with getting as much tobacco in the bowl as possible in my quest for the longest smoke. For that reason I gravitated to flake. I tried using the fold and stuff method but had horrible results with relights. Then I tried matchsticks rubbed out only to the extent that the strands started to separate. Too many relights. Now I take matchsticks and rub them out to the extent that they are each in three or four smaller pieces; pieces, not strands. Bingo. But the real secret was to strictly follow the advice to never, ever, push down on the tobacco. Gravity fill or plug at the top, which although it veers from this advice, leaves an air-pocket. This method might be better, perhaps filling the bowl gently but more densely and still creating the air-pocket. [/QUOTE]
