  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

How do you pack your pipe?

Dave, here lie the beauty of pipes...to a great extent you can do what you want and what works for you. People smoke pipe tobac at all different moisture levels. Personally I like mine pretty dry. Not dired out over time but freshly dried for the bowl. In this respect I personally see no reason to put your pipe in a ziplock, although you certainly can. Matter of fact I prefer to prepack my pipe and let the top 1/8" dry a little more as it makes lighting easier. And it takes quite a long time for the lower tobacco in a packed pipe to lose a lot of moisture.
good advice here :thumbsup:
