    Many thanks, my man.

    Indeed, mate. Microwaving is not something that I'd consider doing. Neither is (ha!) putting it in a food processor; as I've also been advised to do on here. Thanks for the advice.

    I read that flake tobacco was the result of seafaring smokers that had problems with their tobacco drying out 'pon the high seas. Certainly moisture retentive stuff. My question being, how long done one dry it? And indeed how? Just exposure to air, I'm assuming. Though the air in England, in...

    Falcon and flake.

    I am indeed in Northampton, England. Tomorrow is 'Pipe Day'; according to what I've written on my calendar. I am looking forward to it. When I opened the 50g Kendal Dark Flake pack. I thought, well, oh dear. What the devil do I do with this? Luckily, every helpful pipe smoker in the world seems...

    Falcon and flake.

    A 'messy fold' must be (phew!) yet another pipester technical term. I'll look into it after I've tried the 'just scrunch it up in your hand until it looks like rolling tobacco' bit of advice that I've had on here. Cheers for boggling my already boggled mind further, mate...

A new bowl for each new tobacco. I have Falcon Pipe Spray and dry rings. A pouch. Full kit kaboodle and the...

    Falcon and flake.

    Ha! I shall follow your Instructions. Thanks. No too technical, after all. Re., strong flake. I wanted to start as I meant to go on. With some decent stuff. My almost sixty-year-old trap and lungs are rather hardy. Boar's Head tobacco in my early teens etc. I didn't like the sound of 'ready...

    Falcon and flake.

    Cheers, chap. Not too keen on You Tube, badverts and waffling and stuff. I'm more of a wordy type bloke. Hence my joining. I haven't really looked at the different bits of this site yet. Bit busy today. I will indeed Introduce myself, though. If that's the done thing. Thanks for the advice...

    Falcon and flake.

    I have a new Falcon pipe. It has a rustic dark billiard bowl. My first tobacco is Kendal Dark Flake. Flake tobacco. Folding, rubbing etc. Ha! It's all Greek to me, I'm afraid. I'd be grateful for some advice on how to go about things. My pipe lighter should be arriving tomorrow. So today I seek...
