Tamp, tamp, tampin'
My tamper has become my friend.
Being new to the pipe scene - I never realized how much periodic tamping helps with the tobacco burn. Read a little something about tobacco expanding as it is smoked and how additional tamping might be needed. Gave it a try and what a difference it has made. Been filling my pipe in thirds and then use my tamper at similar intervals while smoking. Seems to keep the bowl stoked up just right and I usually need no relights now. And when was somebody going to tell me about this?????? Thought I would share BUD[/i]
