Glad the pics are working now.
I say in the original post that it's bracken flake, but I'm 95% sure that's ABF.

Superior, Jeff! Great pics, too!
Wad that cylinder up and you have a musketball, another method that uses an air pocket. The musketball is my own preferred method -- even for Royal Yacht, which is ribbon cut -- the choice of lazy pipers 'round the globe. I agree that flakes offer the highest grade of tobacco available, and as a rule they are also richer in Vitamin N than ribbon and shag cuts.

Excellent write up. I never rub em out :roll eyes:
I've said it before and I'll say it again, it's like eating pizza with knife and fork or dismantling a hamburger and eating it separately. But some people do that
Just not for me.

Awesome post. Thanks a lot.
I'm a total rookie who is just starting to experiment with flakes.
I've heard that some flakes change flavors with different methods. I think I'm going to experiment with some and try them using different methods with the same tobacco and see what differences I find if any. It'll be fun trying anyway, even if I don't see much difference.

Had to try this so I folded and stuffed half a flake of FVF. Burned it for an hour and a half and there's still some left! (but I got to get to work now). Was a PIA to get going as I didn't have any left to rub out for tinder on top.
How do you do this for the ragged flakes like BCF or 1792? Most of my flakes of those are disintegrating all on their own.
