My main reason for this question is about 70% of my tobacco enjoyment is sharing it with the other guys at the pipe club of sorts I've started. I invite them over on Saturdays, they donate a few bucks, and I put in big orders.
The twists have been more difficult for us because I don't always know if anyone will want to try them, but I'm hesitant to cut up and rub out a large amount of tobacco beforehand, but it does need a bit of drying time in my experience in order for it to smoke well.
I see some varieties are available sliced and unsliced. Something in me says--if I'm going to buy a twist, it should be a twist. That said, is there a real difference in the taste?
Also, does anyone buy a few ounces of twist, and slice, rub it all out, and let it dry a bit all at once, and then store it that way?
If it's only me I prefer the ritual and ceremony of slicing the twist, rubbing it out, and letting it dry, but for practicality's sake, do any of you employ the methods mentioned above--buying already sliced, or slicing large amounts ahead of time?
