[QUOTE="HalfBent, post: 529467, member: 4323"] I prefer U-shaped bowls over conical. For me, they just smoke easier. For my pipes with U-shaped bowls, I rub out flakes and coins and pack the pipe as normal. My conical, tapered bowls get a little different treatment. I typically will only smoke coins from my conical shaped bowls. I cut one coin into quarters and I cut one in half. I roll a quarter of a coin between my thumb and index finger, until it will drop to the bottom of the bowl. I drop it in and let it expand to fit the contour of the bottom. I then do the same with a half coin and after it unrolls a little and expands, I gently press it into the quarter coin already in the bottom. I then fill the remainder of the bowl with a full coin, or a full coin and another half if necessary, using the same roll technique. When I do all this rolling, I make sure I roll each ball until the tobacco loosens up and separates, but I don’t roll so tightly that the ball won’t expand back out. For me, this technique gives me a perfect burn and a long, relaxing smoke. [/QUOTE]
