Tip for pipe smokers: just enjoy it. I used to get so frustrated at packing the pipe. It would go out, I'd relight, it'd go out again, etc. I thought, how the crap do you do this???!!! But, learn the 3-layer method like Macheath described and then just relax. If it goes out, relight. No problem. A pipe is supposed to be smoked slowly and enjoyed. Relighting and retamping is (usually) inevitable. I know this guy who's been smoking one for a long time. He packs his tobacco with his index finger WHILE HE SMOKES! Cool.
