Sable are you saying to allow the ridicule to myself just don't give it back.If so you got the wrong guy.It sounds to me you like to question people but not to be questioned.If five people act the same it doesnt mean they are not all @$$es.

You do so like to label people. You, I and the others have, early on, established what we are, no need to beat it to death. Ad hominem attacks are so puerile.
I alone will be the judge of what to keep to myself, not you nor any other person. You are entertaining though, I'll give you that.
I have spent the better part of my life being uncouth. Thank you very much for noticing! My behavior so often goes unnoted and that can be distressing when I'm really applying myself.

I hope that smoke calms you down a little bit. There is only one person in this thread being antagonistic.
Maybe take a little break, then come back with an open mind? This forum gives you what you put into it.

Like this guy Warren here Warren has to run his mouth.Claims no need to beat it to death yet beat he does.Second never labeled anyone just gave my opinions.So there are two lies right there and you can judge what to keep and what not to keep to yourself.But be prepared to be called an as*hole for it is all I'm saying.Its my opinion that some thoughts need not be spoken at certain times.Respect that like I respect your self important need to express any and every thought at anytime even though it makes you look like more of an as*hole.Is that not fair Warren?

This forum has really good, funny and helpful people. But they're also very, very experienced.
When it comes to filling/packing questions, if you browse past topics, almost all disregard the "methods", mostly because they don't use a method.
I like the principle behind the Frank method. I don't adhere to it strictly, but the way I pack my pipes is influenced
This. I believe that the way many of us fill our pipes comes out the same way, with a tighter pack at the top, looser as you go down the bowl. Just not as time consuming— and dare I say anal— as the plethora of methods with tiresome Youtube diatribes.
My first reply was perfect, and I don't understand all the whinging.

Nothing to be open about.I gave an opinion just like everyone else.Just because it's different that I stand by it and don't say awww I'm sorry for calling out a couple guys on here trying to stifle my opinions and showing how you people over reacted and freak when someone does not back down from you preferred people.I put in a reasonable question and got a couple crap answers I called out.Im sorry you don't like it.But you are here putting in your two cents like they did so don't get your shorts in a was when I make change.

When it comes to packing tobacco, I find nothing is as critical as the humidity at which you like to smoke it. If you like your tobacco on the dry almost crispy side, just load it so that before lighting there is a bit of resistance when you apply suction. But there are some exceptions, for example with Tabac Semois green: even though it comes very dry, I find it best to pack it very, very tightly. With blends like FVF where I do find a bit more moisture in the tobacco renders the smoke more flavourful, I follow a packing scheme where I load the bottom half of the bowl a bit looser than the top half. Once lit, I tamp the tobacco's coal cookie so as to maintain the initial 'slight' resistance throughout the smoke.

But, you are such an easy target. Surely, may I call you surely?, you're not expecting me to not participate in all the fun?
No one is trying to stifle your opinions. Air them out. This thread could go epic. Epic threads are what some of us are all about. We've not had a "haja", I forget the spelling, in a long time.
Do you have any opinions regarding lighters? Sandwiches? Air them out we are all a tingle with anticipation!

Dude I'm not an as$.I won't be bullied.I was right.You can see people uphold people even after they have been proven wrong not me.On on here I read something wrong said something misinformed much like Warren but unlike him I'm a small person of no importance so I had no problem saying I was wrong.So now Warren is saying it ok we could break you from backing your opinion but we can give you.hell for any other opinions.Bullies like you never got along with me Warren.
