[QUOTE="Skip48, post: 123431, member: 1348"] Burning hot sure seems to happen when I load my pipe with the fold method and it's really nice when I rub it out and let it open up. I get as much to fall in by gravity as I can then very lightly push it down (not packing yet still filling) then I put as much as I can without hardly any pressure. Then I saw some guy on the internet that said do control how much packing is done he used one of the little low cost nails and held it between the index finger and the next one and without holding it with a lot of pressure you tamp/pack it down. This way it's packs loose enough to let the air flow very well and then easy to light the top all the way across. I first thought this was not enough, but smoked it anyway to see and it was perfect. I do right after a good light and it fluffs in the bowl tamp it ever so lightly again and then smoke away. It helps even the more moist flake tobaccos do well for me. I thought that I was right about all my bowls having a tapered chamber. I saw some pipes some place that were for smoking Flake and my thought was , hmmmm, what's different? I think now I know.
