i think this is a new style, i don’t know if it was tried before. I fill the bowl less than 1/3 and make the false light to make a good ash. Then i fill the bowl full and make another false light and the second light. By this method temperature of tobacco stays stable between two layers of ash without relightings. I will use my name but at the moment i call it “linguist’s method”

Many ways to pack a pipe. with ribbon cuts and longer rubbed out flakes; I will put a pile in my left palm and place my pipe with the open end on top of the pile while pressing down ever so lightly and with a circular motion it fills my pipe,Trim off any extra and then tamp slightly with my finger ,check the draw and then lite.I found it takes the guess work on how tightly or loosely the tobacco is packed and normally provide an excellent smoke. Time don’t matter too much but I found this method somewhat faster and less messy.
