Fold/Stuff vs Rubbing out & possibly the best of both worlds

My favourite tobacco by far is Peterson's Irish Flake. I've tried it Folded & stuffed and tried it rubbed out. Something gets lost to me in the rubbing out. The flavour changes and mellows out somehow and it loses its character. Lately I've been consistent at smoking my blends with fewer relights and to white ashes without dropping the ash at all and was wondering how to get a flake to smoke like this without rubbing it out. When I fold and stuff flakes they expand and cling to the wall of the chamber. Its always a battle with my tamper to release whats hanging onto the wall and its a bit of a mess smoke (although it tastes great!). It doesn't burn evenly too (maybe I'm doing it wrong?).
Suddenly today I decided to play a bit with an approach that I pieced together from reading different posts here (not related, but sparked my imagination somehow!). I cut a 1/3 of the flake and rubbed it out. Created a bed of finely rubbed flake at the bottom of the chamber, folded the remaining 2/3 and stuffed it as usual, then added a layer of finely rubbed on the top in hopes it would be an even burning catalyst for the folded stuff below, allowing it be more evenly lit.
To my surprise the experiment worked very well! the bowl smoked with the flavour I'm used to by stuffing and folding, yet burned evenly to ash till the bottom with a few easy relights and without clinging to the walls of the chamber!
Was wondering if other have similar and more creative ways. I also hope this approach can be useful if it hasn't been tried before :D.

Cortez. Exactly.
Yazamitaz. Its great to hear that other more experienced smokers did at some point reach the same conclusion. I'm honoured :D.

Yazamitaz, Just watched the video. I'll try it tonight to see if it replaces the top kindling and the lower bed for me. I'm lazy by nature so if this works as well as my new method I'll certainly adapt .
My rational for the this method was:

1 - create a bed of loose tobacco at the bottom to facilitate better burning at the end and not end up with a solid lump that I have to scrape.

2 - create a top layer of fine kindling to facilitate even burning when it comes in contact with the folded portion making it less likely to cling to the walls of the pipe.
I'd like if some would try it and give me feedback. Maybe its a brand new method thats waiting to see the light and is being born here in the forum (grin!).
