First Crumble Cake

[OverMountain]

I have been enjoying Bengal Slices for a week or so now. Wow!

I’m also having to relight more than any tobacco I’ve enjoyed yet.
Any pointers other than drying and rubbing to where it is very loose?

“fold and stuff” for normal flakes doesn’t seem to work so well with the cake.

Gravity fill the bowl.

For me, Bengal slices always requires some more relights than others. I've had luck with using some larger pieces for the bottom half of the bowl lightly packed and then smaller pieces on top using a type of Frank method. I'm not an expert, but it's worked for me.

Rubbing out and drying out is the only advice that's going to help.

Crumble cakes aren't flakes. You've got to rub them out, or dry them to a crisp.

Yup, my stash of briar fox is only smoked after atleast 6 hours of drying, and being obliterated. I set it out on a tray loosely, and every hour or so I'll mix it up and break it down more.
