[QUOTE="ZeroContent, post: 153675, member: 1367"] It's all a fine balancing act between the leaf being too dry and in turn burning too hot and fast or too damp and it constantly going out (and gurgling), and packing it just right for the specific tobacco. I prefer my tobacco probably a little more moist than most. I use the gravity sprinkle and pack half way, then sprinkle the next layer and pack half way between the top of the bowl and the top of the previous layer , and repeat until full method. Seems to work well for me so that layers are packed tighter at the top and looser at the bottom so as you smoke each layer and tamp it into the next while smoking each layer is just about right. Obviously this is easier said than done depending on the specific tobacco. For some reason I find Lane Q-1 the easiest to pack just right, everything else since to be hit or miss and just feeling my way through it. [/QUOTE]
