Tobacco Pipe Packing Methods - The Frank Method

[SoPhoneTechs]

Is pipe tobacco sticky? Or does it have to be sticky? Cos I was thinking since I'm 14 I would smoke tea but not inhale:)

@SoPhoneTechs 1. You're 14, you shouldn't be smoking. 2. No it's not sticky. Good tobacco is a little moist. Hooka tobacco is very sticky, and downright messy.

I reproaches this method to achieve a rate nicoine s to vanish in the ignition and forced to smoke without leaving off

Hi there. I packed my pipe with the Frank Method (as suggested by your vid here) but the top layer was slightly too packed so I had trouble lighting the pipe. After using a pick to loosen up the top layer, it lit well and stayed lit. Needed a relight only when it was 1/3 full.

Perhaps I pinched too much tobacco and caused to top too be too tightly packed, but once loosened it smoked really well.

I got my first pipe ever along with the macbaren vanilla cream and the chocolate and honey tobacco. I tried lighting the pipe and it would go off after a few puffs. I even tried repacking the pipe 2 o 3 times and stil wouldn't stay lit. Any sudjestions?

You could try a different packing method. Try packing the tobacco a little looser than what you have been
