Codger Scoop.

[bullet08]

How do you do it? I only do it with OTC blends in pouches. Stick the bowl in the pouch and stuff tobacco into the chamber using index finger once or twice until it feels nice and loaded. I guess it will work with tub, but haven't done it with Granger yet.

it comes with practice and learning to gravity fill makes a hell of a difference

Yep, just scoop it in with your thumb, adjust the pack with your tamp, easy peasy.

I just do the pouch/finger bit myself too when not working from tin, tub, or bulk.

Pouch or plastic sandwich baggie, I scoop and then stuff with the thumb, swipe the loose bits off and I'm ready to go. Do it one handed usually.

I’d tell you, but I’d have to kill you.

Honestly, I don’t know anymore. I just do it.

At some point you'll just be able to feel when its right.

Most of my pipe moves were learned as a toddler spending time with my dad who smoked a pipe for fifty years, only maintaining one pipe at a time until the bowl split, and only Granger from a pouch. He packed his pipe with the bowl in the pouch loading with his thumb, strictly on automatic pilot. Out of a jar, I have to use my index and thumb, but the same principles apply. You get the right pressure by feel, so don't jam the leaf in there too hard or too much, firm but not so the air won't flow around the ember. As the man said, easy peasy.

I put all the tobacco I'm currently working on, an amount I'll smoke in a week or two, in ziploc bags... I do the scoop everytime.

As Nike says...just do it. I don't even think about it. I load out of a pouch about 80% of the time.

 

[kcghost]

I don't hardly ever use it since I am usually smoking out of a two ounce tin.

 

[hoosierpipeguy]

I mostly smoke flake so it doesn't come up often. When it does, it's an unconscious thing.

 

[Magpiety]

I stuff it in like I'm trying to have my last smoke while being shot at. 2ish desperate crams and then fix it with the tamper.

 

[archerdarkpint]

Scoop and stuff. Scoop and stuff. Depending on the size of the pipe, repeat until full, a satisfactory level of "springiness" then good-to-go. Most everything I enjoy is dried to just this side of crispy...meaning the more dry side and it's easy to scoop and stuff with my index finger, then finish off with the thumb as the final gauge for suitability.

I recently gave this a try my last few smokes. As others have mentioned I found it to be very "instinctual". Only had to relight 2-3 times. I know there may have been some other factors for these improved smokes. I think to much when I'm doing other packing methods.

This is pure gold ??.

Like rolling a cigarette, they just figured it was common knowledge.

Pipes fit in jars?
