[QUOTE="glpease, post: 77254, member: 18"] :lol!: I tend to pack everything a little looser than seems "standard," so take any suggestion with that caveat. With Westminster, I just gravity fill the bowl to just slightly overflowing, and press down the top flat with my thumb. Nothing exotic. I don't like too much restriction in the draw, or too little air in the bowl. This seems just about right - for me - in most pipes. I prefer the tobacco a bit dry, but certainly not crispy. The strands are still pliable, but if they stick together when pressed, it's too moist. If it crumbles when looked at, it's too dry. For me, that's about all there is to it. And, it's pretty much true for everything I like to smoke, though lighter mixtures can do with a slightly heavier hand when packing. Does that help? The cut issue is still troubling. I'll look into it. Cheers, Greg [/QUOTE]
