How To Fold and Stuff Flakes: Don't Bother (Yet)

[NeverBend]

Not to throw a monkey wrench in the works, but what about coins? I just got some Flake Medallions and they have that core of black cavendish. Not quite sure what to do with it..... rub out like flake? Are the different tobaccos in the coin supposed to be integrated while smoking, or left separate so you get some changes?

Chico, treat the coins like round flakes and you can fully rub them out or not as works best for you.

A lot of my favorites are flakes, but I never fold and stuff. Just because you can do something doesn't mean it's a good idea...

Mark, to each his own. I smoke broken pieces at the end of the tin and like it less, burns faster, with more edge and less nuance.

When it comes to any pressed tobacco, whatever way you pack that smokes best is a good method but my preference is to break it out as little as possible.

Well, I'll plead "excessive hyperbole" on that one (is there any other kind?)-I have nothing against folding and stuffing even if I don't do it anymore (though if I opened a tin of ABF I would; that's the only way I've ever smoked it.) My personal preference is what I would call "partially rubbed out". My favorite tobacco, HOTW, is (in my opinion) too rubbed out; I wish it came as a flake so I could do it myself. I like chunks rather than ribbon or entire flakes.

That's why I like Homborger Veermaster so much. It's a broken flake.
