Decided I would give the pipe a try, bought a decent pipe, got a few different tobaccos to try, read a few things here and there about packing, lighting, cleaning etc., All is well and good except I cannot keep the bottom layer of tobacco in the bowl from getting wet. Don't think it is the tobacco I feel that it is probably technique just not sure what I am doing wrong.

Any tips appreciated.
