Re: What am I doing wrong?

Good stuff here. My advice, just don't stress about it. I smoked two bowls today. The first one was an absolute bitch - I just could not get it to light. The second one, I just chucked in the tobacco, did a quick charring light, tamped very lightly and was good except for one or two relights.

I found, with that experience, a couple things:
1. If the tobacco is shaggy at the top of your bowl, it will light easier, and more evenly.
2. Don't pack the bowl tight, it burns a whole lot nicer if you're not dragging on it like a cigarette.
