I too have had this problem...I used to stuff the bowl ful...twist and stuff and then put in more...got tongue bite, uneven burn in the bowl and lots of unburned tobacco and wasted a lot. I have since, for the last couple of years been loading the bowl lighter, getting a nice burn of the whole bowl less tongue bite and more use out of a 2 oz tin....but then I started smoking flakes and plugs and slipped back into the bad habbit of over stuffing....I'm working it out....
