I bought a Savinelli 109 a couple months ago. I love the smaller dimensions, the light weight and could clench it the whole day!

The issue I have is packing the pipe. The chimney is 17mm (.7") in diameter and 36mm (1.4") deep. I can never get it to smoke to the bottom, despite relighting all the time, and always toss out a good amount of unburnt tobacco at the end.

What could be the issue? Any tips for packing smaller pipes like this?

Maybe try tapping out some of the ash as you get to the bottom?

I'll let you know how it goes!

It did help a bit. I think the key point is to pack it looser than I do with my larger pipe, it seems to work better
