The tobacco is recommended to be packed loosely and evenly into the bowl, without compressing it. This allows air to pass freely through the mixture, ensuring an easy draw and stable smoking session.
For a comfortable and smooth experience, it is recommended to leave a 3−5 mm gap from the rim of the bowl (you can also create a small well in the center to help dissipate excess heat). This method provides more delicate heating, helps prevent overheating, and delivers a smooth, balanced flavor release — ideal for a first introduction to the product.
For a richer and stronger experience, packing with minimal gap or "touching" the foil/heat management device is acceptable. In this case, the tobacco receives more heat, the flavor becomes more intense, the cigar base is more pronounced, and the strength increases noticeably. This method requires experience and precise heat control.
