Barnaby Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 While I've used the fork before, it almost seems like a hassle to me vs. using my fingers. I can pack it faster, and sense I'm actually felling the tobacco, I get a better feel of how much I'm actually packing in. I have problems with the fork tearing holes vs. poking them, so I just use a wooden kabob skewer.. Maybe it's just an unfamiliarity with using the fork, or maybe I have the wrong kind of oyster fork, but it doesn't seem to add much to my sessions.

chinodos Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 after seeing the video I tried using an old oyster fork I had laying around, and I liked it alot. It helped me guage how much I was packing and was great at forming the tobacco the way I wanted for density. Great tool I think! Way to think outside the box Eric!
