I have been smoking a pipe for a few months, and while I’m certainly no pro, I have learned a lot and have become a better pipe smoker. I have tried numerous blends (probably a stupid amount) and found some that smoke better than others, but the Peterson University Flake has really given me problems.
I have tried five times to smoke a bowl of this stuff, and haven’t smoked a single bowl yet. No other tobacco blend has given me a problem like this. I rub it out, let it dry for varying lengths of time and still it will barely light and immediate go out. Even when it feels dry. Even when I rubbed it out more, or less. Even when I dried it to the point of about being crispy. Did it when I packed it a little loose, did it when I packed it a little tighter. All three pipes I tried, same problem. This is the only tobacco I have actually tossed the contents of the bowl in the trash because it couldn’t be smoked. I have not been able to smoke a single bowl of this stuff. I’ve barely been able to even get a taste of it. Only time I have had smoke I could taste was when the lighter was actually putting flame to it.
I have read reviews of this product, other people are somehow able to smoke it. What am I doing wrong? What is different about this from the other twenty five tobaccos I’ve tried lately? I really don’t understand how anyone is able to smoke this stuff, it is as if it is made from non-flammable material. I would love to know what it is actually like, but I’m getting tired of packing bowls that I can’t smoke. Any ideas?
