If it's in the jar, I usually grab some and put on a paper plate to dry. Once it's dried, I just shove 'em into a bowl and smoke 'em. Only do codger scoop with OTC since I don't dry them. Flakes, sliced cakes, coins and that types all get folded and stuffed after drying. Don't really do much with my tobacco other than drying and smoking. Been skipping drying lately, but after today's smoke, I might get back to it.
