Difficulty keeping Gaslight Lit

[Coreios]

I have blends like that. Wonderful flavor that I'm bound and determined to get to. But I just cannot keep it lit for the life of me. Are the relights a problem for you? Sometimes in my world I'll just keep relighting the tobacco, sometimes it's just easier that way.

As AJ said, if you dry it more than you think and rub it out really well, almost any tobacco will stay lit if it's packed properly with minimal relights.

Rub it out first, then dry it.

And load the tobacco, don't "pack" it!

I have no problem keeping it lit.
I think you're gaslighting me.

This! Sounds like problem solved. I had the same issue with some well aged Sixpence. Although different components, the above after resorting to forum perusing was the same solution for me.

That's blend dependent.

And R/H

If you think Gaslight is hard to light, and keep lit avoid Dark Star, that stuff will really test your patience.

But, what's the chance of stumbling into a tin of Dark Star these days? FVF is another one that is usually way too wet to smoke.

I have a few tins left, that stuff is like trying to light a shingle.

I have some tins left also. It is definitely the Rubic's cube of pipe tobaccos, ha ha.
