[QUOTE="Puff Daddy, post: 38254, member: 3"] Never heard of spinning, seems it would create a harder surface to the ash which would inhibit airflow. I usually tamp only to tame down the bloom after lighting or to correct an uneven burn (moving an unburned edge to the top/center) and when I do this it is as lightly as possible. When I've smoked a bowl down to the point where many would tamp I instead take the pick end of the tool and stir the ash lightly to break it up, then settle it very lightly with the tamper. This is not to compress the ash over the surface of the tobacco but to simply break it down and settle it just enough to protect the tobacco surface without sealing it off. When there's a significant amount of ash I dump it and relight. [/QUOTE]
