[QUOTE="Krusty, post: 159787, member: 1463"] LOL Continued use of the term "Krusty Method" may prove harmful to my health as it now seems to incite a severe face-palm when I see it! And there's the fun of the play! With the exception of the air pocket method, most all cuts of tobacco, regardless the manner of loading the bowl, work best when not overpacked. Some time back I read a description of determining when the packing was right by how springy the load was prior to initial light. That was my Eureka moment. Regardless the cut, well, intact flake need be loose but it doesn't lend to the springy idea.... anyway.... no matter the blend I usually strive for a bit of a spring to the tobacco. Lightly pressed with a finger, the load in the bowl will depress slightly and come back up. Too loose, it doesn't rise back, over-tight it doesn't depress. So yes, all a piper can do when approaching a new blend is experiment to find what works. [/QUOTE]
