The Harry Method
This was described by me on June 1 and I claim prior naming rights on this method. :nana:

So named by me in honour of my friend Harry Bell who showed it to me at the Legion and because I am not aware of a precedent name for this method. I have not seen it described on any of the forums. It is fast, simple to execute and probably results in an air pocket at the bottom of the bowl.

One places the tobacco in the palm of your left hand if you are right-handed then place the inverted bowl over the tobacco and roll the pipe around your palm until it has taken up all of the tobacco.

Any body else use this method?

Just tried it with a palm full of rubbed out Hamborger Veermaster and it worked very well. Thanks for the post.

antipodesman made a good point. I called it McGrane after the guy in the video. I hav eno clue as to it's proper name or origin. In the interest of pipe nerds everywhere, If any of you long-timers remember seeing this and can find an origin and/or proper name, that would be cool.

I've just tried it and it works great,thanks for the post this will be my prefered method from now on.

I think naming of pipe loading methods is a recent pretension in the pipe smoking fraternity. I doubt there is such a thing as a proper name. Nevertheless being as pretentious as the next person I still claim priority for the Harry Method. :lol:

i am going to back the harry method, simply because i remember when antipodesman made the original post. i tried it then, loved it and it has been my primary method ever since.

although that dude in the video freaking rocks!

A motion and a second! Motion carried. The Harry Method it is! I did it with come CAO in the Meer last night. Filled it all the way up and had a good long smoke. The Harry method rocks.
