Does anyone stir?

[UtahRootBeer]

So I know this might be blasphemy but does anyone stir or break up your pack when you get lower in the bowl? Sometimes I start to basicly get a tunnel because im smoking to fast so every now and then when that happens I will stir my bowl, tamp and relight.

I do sometimes. No shame in my game 😀

I do occasionally

Sometimes the pack gets too tight, so I do. Seems to help.

I tried it a couple of times in my cob and ended up poking a hole into the heel.

I've never thought about doing it in all of my n00by-ness but stirring would seem to solve a problem I sometimes have.

Thanks for the (blasphemous) idea!

If I have packed too tight and get draw issues. No shame in doing what works for you IMO

All if ya stir up trouble. Buncha troublemakers.

No I really don't stirr. I have poke holes if the draw becomes too tight.

Brilliant! Unfortunately, I don't get to enjoy them as often as I'd like, but when I do, pure awesomeness.

i usually give it a tap tap tap on the side, and gently tamp to get that baccy from the sides into the center of the bowl.....

Oddly enough, that's how I usually finish up at a urinal, too! :rofl:

yeah i literally laughed out loud, i was reccomended this and it has definately improved my technique to smoking to the bottom of the bowl (or closer i should say), otherwise i would end up smoking right through the center of my baccy, puffing too fast, biting my tongue and leaving half my baccy unsmoked

I've never attempted to "stir". Most I do is to tap out the top layer of ash, retamp, relight if needed.
