that is a good question that many people have a problem with. its very hard (for me) to explain in words, but if you look on youtube, ther are many videos on several different methods. it depends on the type of tobacco, and different elements, but im sure that will help you.
If you check out the home page there is a two part article on how to pack your pipe. One method I've found works well is putting rubbed out tobacco or ribbon cut in your palm, turning the bowl upside down and rubbing it in a circle over the tobacco. It just works for me YMMV
I just take a pinch, sprinkle it in the bowl and with my finger do a medium pack and repeat until the bowl is about 90% full?? I've also tried and studied all the various ways and in the end...the above method works for me?
The above mentioned method or methods are a sure way to enjoy a good smoke, however, I find the packing method varies with the chosen baccy and or pipe for the smoke. You will discover the method you prefer for each senario. Experiment, have fun, and most of all, enjoy.

I tried the 3-step method for my first few weeks of pipe smoking and I just never could get a good pack or a good smoke going. I then stated using the Frank method of packing and I've had really good luck with it. I'm sticking with that method for a while. Good luck!
