Erinmore Flake in a clay. Not sure what I'm doing wrong as only got a few puffs out of the pipe each time...
Did I stuff too much baccy in the pipe, is it to do with the windproof lighter or packing too loose / too tight - please help!!!
Did you fold and stuff or rub it out? From my limited experience packing to tight can cause the pipe to not stay lit, packing to lose can make it burn to fast or sometimes not stay lit also. The Erinmore I tried was very moist and needed a decent amount of dry time so that could also be it. If it was folded and stuffed Flake then going out often and requiring more tamping/scrapping is norm.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, snapper and sugar snap peas dinner with orange slices for dessert. I'm almost half way through this bowl of Motzek (TAK) 16/5 Der Neue in a straight black sandblast late 1990s 2 star Ferndown Bark prince with a tapered cumberland stem. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink. Watching The Bandit Trail starring Tim Holt, who was a very good actor.
