Having trouble keeping your pipe lit? getting to hot?
More than likely your tobacco is far to wet. Most retailers ship and sell the tobacco wetter than it should be. Basically what you want is to have enough moisture to keep it from breaking up and turning to dust. I find that like Tedski I perfer my pipe tabac at around 55-60% RH, most of the stuff I open is usually at about 85% Some companies ship wetter than others but if your bowl is a bit to warm and it's not keeping lit try to dry out your tobacco and see if that helps.
