Create a large pinch of the amount of tobacco between the fingers of the free hand as shown. The pinch should have a large flat base at the bottom, wider than the diameter of the pinch closest to the palm. Achim Frank describes this shape as a ‘champagne cork.'
You may gently press the bottom of the pinch against a table to flatten it.
