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.

I orefill my tobacco into shotgun shells with most if the powder removed. 16 to 20 gauge works for most. Then when I’m ready to smoke, I put the shell in the bowl (primer side out obviously! Duh!) and hit the primer with a jewelers hammer and BAM! Perfectly filled pipe already pretamped.
