I Want YOU to Join Now

Loading the Pipe

You probably have one minute or so left to load your pipe. Let's get to it!

 




 

Start picking up the tobacco and loading the pipe.




 

Tamp it down occasionally to get a good pack. Not too tight, but not too loose either.




 

Make sure you get it all. Near the end you'll have a lot of fine grains of tobacco. You'll want these on top as "tinder" to get a good light.




 


Pick up the paper and fold up the sides, getting the tobacco in the crease. Ah, now you see the reason for the fold.

Hurry now, time is running out!




 

Make a funnel with your hand and pour in the last little bit of tobacco.




 

Make a final tamp and observe how far it is to the lines on the tamper. There's a lot to smoke!

Looks like our contestant has left some tobacco on the paper. Once the judge calls "time", nothing more can be added to the bowl.

Now you'll get a couple of minutes to relax.




 

When the judges and contestants are ready, you'll hear that famous announcement

Smokers, Light Your Pipes!!


You have one minute to light your pipe using one or both matches. If a match breaks or does not light immediately raise your hand for a replacement.
