Juni posted this just before the Frank Method debacle I mean, discussion. I'm not really sure what this method is called so I temporarily named it after the guy in the video. I have tried it a couple of times and it works pretty well for me. Just curious as to what others think.

It works really well actually, and is entertaining for anyone watching you do it.

Haha, yeah. I still get entertained when I do it myself! I amuse pretty easily, though. ::

From the 1980s decor to learning how to "tease" the tobacco with the lighter, that was just awesome. LOL I'm amused!

Awesome video, I will definitely have to try.
Also, I wish this man taught some of my college classes

I could listen to him for hours.

The method despite what you may think does work. I was very amused the first time i used it. I seem to have a problem keeping lit using this method though. Anyone else?? May just be that the tobacco i have tried it with was a little to wet.

I did it with some Nat Sherman on a hot, humid day in my Meer and needed a relight toward the end (normal for me and that big bowl). Tried it last night with the MM Legend and some Cherry Bomb and smoked it right down. Eating out for lunch today so I'm going to try it again.

Don't tease your tobacco, it's likely to get annoyed and bite. :rofl:

I tried this the other day. While it works as advertised, I don't think I'll make it a regular method because of the mess.
