24 or 48 Hours Rest?
Lots of different opinions on this matter, as you will have gathered. There's a few variables to consider that may apply to your smoking habits. Here's my 2 cent, for what it's worth, I heard someone once mention that old timers used to say: 24 hours rest for each bowl smoked. So if you've...- Seeker81

Anyone Use Gauzes?
Yes. As a matter of fact the least wasteful results I have had with flakes so far has been while using a slightly tapered Alco bowl. Also the metal (heel?) at the bottom of the bowl helps with the moisture. I tend to prefer using my alcos for the "Lakeland" flakes... 1792, Dark A Flake, and...- Seeker81

Anyone Use Gauzes?
I'll think I'll give it a shot at some point... why the hell not suppose. I sometimes get a bit, maybe, overly cautious when it comes to re-lighted the tobacco at the bottom of the bowl due to my concern with damaging the heel. I've heard smoking aggressively at the heel can cause damage. I'm...- Seeker81

Anyone Use Gauzes?
Hello. Pretty basic question is all. Does anyone use gauzes? and if so, how do you rate them? I was really enjoying some 1792, when it started to become hard to keep it lit towards the end, it also started to bite a bit... I emptied out the pipe to see quite a bit of (imo) "good" tobacco left...- Seeker81

Casing and Top Flavour. What's the Difference?
"HH Latakia Flake has very little casing and no top flavour at all. The only taste you will experience is the natural taste from the tobaccos used." Hello all. I was recently reading on tobaccoreviews.com when I read the above sentence. "Little casing and no top flavour at all", all of a sudden...- Seeker81
