I loaded BCA in the Slainte in churchwarden configuration this morning.
My POTD photos tend to get a bit repetitive in March. I'm just trying to introduce a little variety.Price,
I have finally seen the morphing of a meerschaum pipe from your posts. It’s gone from showing the pipe to showing the case of the pipe and then onto no pipe at all.

I've tried that, the three-step filling process, the two-step, and maybe some others. Sometimes one works best, sometimes another.Benzadmiral, I have been averaging about 40 minutes a bowl with black Cavendish and close to that with other blends by packing the bowl evenly from bottom to top with light to medium pressure from a small headed tamp.
I set the bowl in the snack bag of tobacco and simply feed the tobacco in with the tamp. Repeat about ten times with light/medium pressure until the bowl is almost full. I call it a shoveller technique.
Depending on the tobacco I can get away with one or two relights after I get it started.
