Gotta get packing down
I like the way my pipe feels(I know jiunn will have a comment)
new tobacco discovery will now be a hobby in itself
something very zen like in the stirring and tamping
relaxation @ an 11

I don't like that you're over here. Get back to the other side!

Packing definitely takes some practice (jiunn?), but the satisfaction that comes with that first bowl that burns all the way down on one relight is worth it. Keep at it, you'll develop a feel based on how your bowl smokes that will guide your hand...just remember that loose is better than tight (jiunn?).

Do you let tobacco from a freshly opened tin dry a lil bit?

Hmmm. From my limited time hittin the pipe, you dont want it to dry up. You want it nice n moist. Or else it'll be like hittin sand paper (jo jo?)

Now... Get your dbag butts back to the cigar forums!

That depends on the tobacco. A good test is to pinch the tobacco between your fingers, if it stays clumped then it's too wet, if it holds together slightly and falls apart it's good. Some companies are notorious for using additives to keep the tobacco from drying out quickly, McClellands comes to mind, and they need significant drying. Generally speaking though, a bit of drying time won't hurt any tobacco...you could even try packing the bowl and letting it sit like that for 30-40 minutes. There are many different ways to go about it, you'll find what works best for you.

It's easy. Jiunn like the month. Semi funny story. When I first started my first job, now one of my good friends, he e-mailed me in the beginning of the job (haven't met me yet) and he asked me to lunch using alot of those emoticons and smiley faces. I said yes b/c I thought wow, what a nice guy. He saw me and the first thing he said was "dude, thought you were a hot Asian chick." I googled "jiunn" and yea, two girls popped out. I'm having a DPG blue exquisito that Boyd gave me right now.

Now I can say I'm going to smoke a bowl and mean something entirely different than when I younger.

Direwolf

I reallllllly like reading about the tobaccos.. Only problem is I also like ordering the tobaccos.

That's my problem as well; everytime I go online to educate my dumb self about more tobacco's, my wallet magically jumps out of my pocket and starts entering my CC numbers onto an order form. It's a vicious habit.

Well I gotta learn what I like.. Only way to do that is buy as many different kinds as possible.
