Hello all, new member here from about an hour east of Atlanta, Georgia. I’m relatively new to pipe tobacco having given it a try after smoking cigars for around a decade. I started with some drug store brands but have recently purchased some blends from Boswell and Country Squire. So far I’ve enjoyed light english tobaccos and aromatics. I struggle with keeping my pipe lit so I look forward to working on my packing technique and continuing to try different tobaccos.

Cheers!

Welcome from KY.! I'm guessing you're using the 3 pack method. If so, try just feeding tobacco into the bowl until it stops at the top then pick up a good amount, and push it in on top of that while drawing on the pipe until the draw it good then stop pushing. Made a huge difference for me. I relight once or twice usually, sometimes not at all.
Yup, 3 pack method. I’ll give this a try on my next bowl. Thanks for the tip!
