I haven't seen this mentioned before, but the other day I dried out about half a bowls worth of tobacco (Pembroke) more than I normally would, loaded that first, and then packed the rest of the bowl with tobacco at my standard level of dryness.
The idea being that as the bowl progressed, the moisture created by the first half of the bowl would be absorbed by the drier tobacco underneath, providing a more even smoking experience/less chance of needing to relight/less overall moisture.
I only tried it the one time so far, but it seemed to make for a great smoke.
