The Bottom of the Bowl
I normally dump the ash around the midpoint of the bowl to help with lighting the tobacco. As most have said, proper tamping technique and gentle puffing should usually do the trick. Also, I say put to use the many techniques and morsels of information given on this forum. You will eventually...- mrhooker93

Building a cake...
As many have stated, I would just pack the pipe with a good blend like SWR or Carter Hall and puff away. They will ensure a good cake is formed in the bowl of your pipe, but of course, each smoker has his own preferences......- mrhooker93

It seems as if they were originally a European brand of pipe, but around the 1980's the brand was bought by an American business. Do any of you own one of these pipes and if so, what is the overall...- mrhooker93
