Too Hot & Goes Out

Remember that flakes are usually more difficult for many to properly prepare and often result in the ember going out.

Sometimes, it's just the way the tobacco quality is. I know a few blends that burn hot no matter what, both harsh on the palette and harsh on your pipes. They are not blends that I smoke, even though some of them may taste decent. This is regardless of dry time and cadence. I don't consider these blends of tobacco to be quality. Quality, smooth tobacco has a lot to do with how it is sweated and processed. Also, it has a lot to do with how it is cased. Some blends are just down right harsh and hot burning to me. You won't find this is in Gawith, C&D, Pease, Germain, and Peterson/Dunhill blends unless it is user error.
