I was debating on whether to post this here, or in the Beginners area, but I figured it would fit in better here. Anyway, I tried smoking my first bowl of Seattle Pipe Club's Mississippi River and I couldn't keep it lit for anything! I packed it the exact same as I pack my Lane 1-Q and my CAO Moontrance. Is there something special about the Mississippi River blend that I'm not aware of? Is it too wet? If so, how can I tell when it is at the right moisture to smoke? Any comments or advice are appreciated!

Mississippi River comes in cake form?! I bought 4 ounces of bulk when I first started smoking, and it was ALL loose...
I would suggest packing loosely, and dry it a bit more. See how that goes.

It is not a tight packed cake & it crumbles very easily. (crumble cake) I usually get it a pound or more in bulk at a time. Usually about half (maybe a little more) is still in the cake form.
