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.
Glad it worked for you!

It's a little trickier with flakes like that, but it's still possible, even with broken flakes. Basically I try to "line it up" in my hand & arrange about the same amount as a traditional flake (depending on pipe size of course). Then just fold it & roll it as normal to make a sort of cylindrical tower of tobacco just slightly shorter than the bowl depth.
