Packing the Pipe

The three-step pack, and why relights are nothing to fear.

  1. 1. Gravity fill

    Let the tobacco fall loosely into the bowl.

  2. 2. Gentle tamp

    Press lightly.

  3. 3. Firmer top layer

    Finish with a slightly firmer top layer.

  4. Test the draw

    The draw should feel like sipping through a straw.

  5. Relights are normal

    “Two lights are tradition, not failure.”
