Vegas Baby!!!
I can see it. You're at home sitting in your favorite chair smoking your pipe. You catch a whiff of the latakia in the blend your smoking and suddenly out of your mouth you state "god damn it someones trying to kill me for the inusrance money".
Fun fact. I have two kinds of life insurance. The die in my sleep kind and the catastrophic type. I told my daughter when they notify her of my death to ask them “let it be catastrophic, let it be catastrophic......”. Lol.

I have read several comments about drying it out before smoking but I never had the trouble of granger being too moist. I do wonder if rough cut is a little different to pack and that gets misunderstood. I pack rough cut differently than a ribbon cut. This took me a few times to get right I just wonder if others have had the same trouble

Loading wasn't my issue. I was sure codger scoop would work. I was keep trying to find optimal dryness. It did feel little too wet. But it doesn't need any drying after all :)

Granger out of a pouch was all my pappy ever smoked for fifty years. I think his idea was, keep it simple. He owned one pipe at a time, with maybe a partial burn-out as a back-up. He deliberated many subjects and was slow to conclude, but not about Granger.
