How should I fill my pipe?

How you pack your pipe depends on the cut and moisture content of the tobacco. However, the general rule is to pack your bowl in three stages. The first pinch should be packed lightly, as if by a child. The second pinch should be packed more firmly, as if by a woman. The third pinch should be packed tightly, as if by a man. For new pipes, we recommend that you break in the pipe by filling it only about half full. Follow the three pinch techniques, but use just enough tobacco to fill your pipe halfway.
