I like to rub the flake out, then put it back in the tin and let it sit in there for about 3 weeks undisturbed. That seems to evaporate the perfect amount of water as well as oil to where it still smokes even and dry, but isn't so dry that it becomes harsh.

I also like to smoke all SG flakes in a big wide open draw pipe.
I'll have to try your rub-out method next time. Right now I've got another cob bowl loaded up and waiting with folded and stuffed 1792. Little drier than last time, little looser pack. I intend to fill my lighter to the max and do battle with it as I drive across town for a delivery I expect an empty lighter and mostly empty pipe by the time I get back
