Frank Method 2 of 3

[AdventuresOfRedBeard]

This is a good method, but is it really necessary? Wouldn't it be better to smoke and pack the way you feel is right? Surely with a hobby like this, half the fun is finding your own way to prepare the bowl through trial and error :)

Will this method work for braking in a new pipe? All the reading I have done regarding the subject suggest that you fill the pipe 1/3 to 1/2 full. Also not sure if it is because I was using a ribbon cut Virginia tobacco but I couldn't seem to use this method to pack my corn cob pipe. Does anyone know if this is because the bowl is to small or because to the cut of tobacco?

Danke schoen Herr Frank!

I recently inherited my Dad's pipe but I too had been having a little trouble with my packing but found this method to be extremely useful. Thank you for the advice, my last pipe lasted a very enjoyable 50 minutes.

Thank you for posting this packing method. I'm a new pipi smoker and the first 2 times I tried packing my pipe I did it using other methods shown by others without success. I tried this method and success! I had to relight only once!

[zergbiscuits]

Thanks a lot! I'm smoking my first bowl packed with this method as I type this, it's working wonderfully!

[aldanjah]

thx for this franck !

I find this to be the easiest way to pack a pipe with the best results. Thanks. I do think though that you don't get as much tobacco into the bowl, and therefore, your smoking time is shorter. Anyone else notice that ?

[thetasters]

very helpful demo. I just started smoking a pipe and this video really made it a lot easier to enjoy the experience. good job.

best packing method! back when i first started smoking pipe tobacco i watched this video and i've used this method since. thanks!

[scarz1951]

Is the draw still supposed to be like drinking water through a straw or is the draw suppposed to be lighter?

[luftwaffe26]

It's a personal preference really. If you cheeks turn inside, its much too tight. I should generally be free. Like breathing air. Personally, I prefer a bit of resistance.

[Oxhorn]

Thanks so much Frank! This has changed my smoking experience expertly. I now enjoy pipe smoking!

This is aweosme. i have done the whole 3 layer thing i don't know how meny times. And i am always haveng to relight with that method. Last night i think i went thu about 8 matches. after seeing these vids i deside it was time to try it. so i packed my pipes useing this method and used the torch lighter trick in the 3rd vid and it went flawlessly. Best bowl i have ever had, Thank you frank! i will be teaching this method to all my friends.

[Bendermas1]

It wasn't until I starting smoking a pipe that I began to appreciate how people could need 100 match boxes.

[Goldenpistola]

Man you're truly a pipe connoissuer!

[deitrich23]

I can't wait to try this, I have not been packing my pipes very well. Now I know what my problem has been! Thanks!

[seabass666]

[Dillonius]

Danke sehr, Herr Frank.

[tobigforyou]

you have truly upheld the traditions of pipe smoking

[sepmeister1]

Thank God there's a video for this. If there wasn't, the audio makes for quite a good laugh ("You've got a little package"). But really, thanks to Frank for the awesome method. "You've got a little package"
