First Fold And Stuff

[spyder71]

Just wanted to share that I have finally tried to just fold and stuff a slice of flake. I have four or five different flakes but just didnt have the courage to try for fear I would waste the bowl. So I am at this moment finishing a bowl Orlik Golden Slice. I wasn't a fan of the VA's until I tried this stuff rubbed out and now using this loading method I am hooked! I don't know if it is just me but it seamed to burn cooler and much longer just folded and stuffed. You learn somethin' every day :D

The denser the pack the cooler and slower the burn seems to be the case in most instances. So folded flake will be cooler than rubbed out. Plugs similar.
Some blends i can enjoy either way, as there seems to be a subtle change in flavour and smoking experience.

You will love this method on several blends. It's great for outdoor smoking especially I find. The wind breezes by the top of the bowl and creates a perfect long burn, usually without having to relight, generally.
