It's probably obvious that I don't really read most of the threads on this forum so frankly, I don't know if anyone on here does layer tobacco in their pipes like I do a lot, but I've been layering tobacco for decades when I don't want all of one thing in a larger pipe. To be sure, to those newer pipe smokers, I'm not talking about mixing different blends/tobaccos together, I'm talking about taking two types and layering them into your bowl.
Yesterday afternoon I found a new layering that was very impressive. I put a pinch of Burley Flake #2 in the bottom of a deep bent billiard, two coins of Vanilla Roll Cake, pinch of BF #2, two more coins and so on. I ended up with four layers of BF and 3 layers of VRC. Man was it good!
I didn't feel like an entire bowl of BF #2 because its a real ball twister--great for a smaller pipe but sometimes too much for a deeper bowl, and the VRC on it's own was gonna be too sweet for an entire bowl (I had 45 minutes to kill on my porch). It was great because for about 7 or 8 minutes I'd get that ball twisting nicotine hit from the BF, then right on back of it was 7 or 8 minutes of the sweet vanilla and so on...they really went well together.
