[QUOTE="wharfrathoss, post: 35866, member: 417"] another variable that could be the culprit is how often & how you puff. tamping (or lack of it) also has a bit to do w/it. when i had more of a problem w/keeping it lit than i do now, i eliminated the easiest 1st. i dry my tobac enough so that when i pinch it together it doesn't stick then spring apart. it's not dry enough to crumble though either. for filling my pipe, i use a 2 step method (kinda like the 3 step method). i fill to the top then apply just enough pressure w/my finger that the tobac stays in the pipe if i turn it upsidedown, then repeat. how you puff sorta works itself out. you want to keep the tobac going but not overheat the pipe. i've learned to do this by trial & error. tamping can help a lot. matter of fact, the more aware i am of when to tamp, the less lights i need. i tamp when the ash starts to look fluffy. i just set the tamper on the ash & let it's weight push the ash down. i usually give the tamper a slight twist while doing this. hope this helps.
