I received the 5 tins of this the other day. That night using the fold and stuff method, I loaded about 3/4 of a flake into my Dr.Grabow Omega. This was not a bad smoke per-say but it was not a one that just jumped out at me either. When I decided I had had enough, I dumped it out realizing just how PACKED this thing was! lol. It was a solid mass of baccy and boy it was tough getting out.
Well over the last day or so I just could not get that out of my head and decided the Omega's bowl was just too small for that flake so about a half hour ago I decided to load a full flake into one of the Nording Freehands I have. They have a very large bowl in comparison to my other pipes.
EUREKA! I must say,smoking the OGS in the larger bowl is a very dramatic difference! LOVE THE OGS! It seems the OGS is just right for smoking straight out of the tin! I did not dry this any at all. Very much enjoy the flavor.
Oh I must add that I also rubbed the flake out instead of fold and stuff! Either one of these could have contributed to such a change in the smoking experience for me. All I know is this works for me!
I like the price I paid for the tins as well compared to the S&G selections.
I will do as Cortez suggested though, I will finish the entire tin before ordering more. However, if the rest of the tin is as favorable as this bowl then it will be a main stay and will be stocked up on whenever I can!
All hail to the Nording Freehand and OGS!!!
