I've got a few blends that are much more coarse and varied than what I've smoked in the past. Namely MC5110, but also Westminster to a degree. Great smokes, but I have the hardest time packing them in a way that burns evenly down the bowl, and keeping them lit. They also don't tamp as well as they seem to burn to a rigid consistency until they are all ash.
Does anyone rub these a little bit to break them up? Does anyone else have these same concerns?
