    Whats the Ultimate Pack, Does Tighter = Better Flavour and Burn?

    Thank you, that's really interesting to hear people views and appreciate you sharing them. I am with you guys in that I find dryer and loser better, I guess am always on the quest to know more and try and improve things so curious whether there is a better way that exists.

    EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) Hello all, Hope you are all well, I have been smoking on and off for around 15 years and continue to experiment with different packing methods. I have seen people load their pipe up quite tight especially thinking about smoking competitions...

    Samuel E. Gawith v. Gawith, Hoggarth & Co.

    Hi, I haven't tried them both as yet but believe one is more of a dark chocolate (GH) and the other slightly more aromatic less intense chocolate and with additional notes including vanilla (SG), will wait for further info from others.

Wasn't sure whether this would provide adequate airflow, temperature and humidity for it...
