Not with much style. With loose tobacco, I will often just angle the pipe into the jar and scoop it full
with my thumb, layering a little as I go if I'm smart. Alas, it's true, if you take more time with packing,
you will get a better smoke, usually. If I am trying a tobacco for the first time, I will take more time, and
layer it in there in three or four pinches, settling it tighter toward the top layers. If I groom it a little before
I do the first charring light, sometimes it will stay lit and I'm off to the races. Packing is where it is easy to
get lazy, or eager. But I encourage beginners to do it carefully, because it is discouraging to have to re-light
and tamp a lot before a bowl is properly lit. Don't follow my bad form. I want points for honesty here.
