I fired up my brand new MM Charles Towne Cobbler today with G&H Scotch Mixture. I first filled the bowl about halfway (saw a recommendation to do this somewhere for the first several bowls). That was a disaster. Constant relights, so I thought "forget that!" and loaded the next bowl full as I have been doing with my briars. It was ok for about the first half, then it was back to constant relights. The tobacco was nearly crunchy dry, so I don't believe it was the tobacco. I tried not to smoke it like a chimney but use light sipping draws at an easy pace, but I just couldn't keep it lit.
So, I am a beginner, but I've been doing pretty well with my briars lately. Suggestions?
