Classifying Quiet Nights

[Ghines04]

I apologize if this is posted here somewhere, I'm new and the ocean of information available here is deep.

How do you classify the cut for GLP Quiet Nights? And how do you pack it based on its cut? I tried to break it up and gravity feed it, but I dont think I got it quite right. Is it possible to fold and stuff?

Thanks for the help!

It’s considered a flake. I usually break it up, rub it out, let it dry, and gravity feed—this is what I do for most blends; occasionally, I’ll fold and stuff medallions.

One of my favorite blends. It's listed as a flake, but I would consider it a broken flake. I'm not quite sure how you could fold and stuff it. For me, I pretty much stuff 'n puff. I generally fill my bowl and "softly" tap it all down with my thumb, then fill again and thumb it down again, (wash, rinse, repeat) until my bowl is full. If you have a tight draw, just stick your pick tool in there and try again. You will normally need a decent amount of relights, so don't feel as though you did anything wrong. As long as you have a good draw, just keep with the relights. Now, when I get the occasional larger flakes, I'll break them up a bit, but now that you have me thinking, I might try rubbing the tobacco out fully next time to see how it fairs.

Just stuff as much of it in your pipe while leaving plenty of room for a pleasant draw. If you overpack you will become to hate it.

Broken flake, like windjammer. I mostly break it up and gravity fill. I’ve orientated the strands, turned them on end and stuffed like a folded flake with success.
I haven’t smoked a lot of it but have enjoyed it when I do.
We usually smell the blend first, and sometimes when I’m sniffing jars to figure out what I want to pack, Quiet Nights can come off too heavy and I pass it up. Then I reminded myself it smokes milder than the nose lets on.
