Ok old farts I have a few questions. Just bought a couple of pipes and looking into starting down another slope...

Is there a type of tabacoo I should stay away from when breaking in a new Brul pipe? (i.e. shag, flake, ribbion or flavored.)

From what I've seen/read some people don't fill the bowl up for the first 3-4 time with a new pipe. So do I need to really pack the first 1/2 of the bowl tight or just like I was going to do the regular three fill method?

Also just out of curiosity how many of you pro pipe smokers use the three fill vs. the putting tabacoo in your hand and twisting the tabacoo in to the pipe like this.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XHYP...eature=related

Thanks.
