Flake and cigar cutter

[cosmicfolklore]

You are right Cortez. I was just responding to the second part. Thanks, I fixed it.

I get desensitized to things after Mrs. Cosmic has given me my honey-do list for the day. ::
I think Crash was just teasing you... I really hope.

Thanks, Cos. You're probably right, it could have been just a playful bit of flippancy that I took the wrong way. No worries.

Guys ... I must confess I have been doing this wrong from the get go ... I tried a navy flake for the first time using fold and stuff, on a dagner cob. Now dagner cob is a great pipe, but it seems to me that it isn't working too well with flake. I tried it in a briar, nameless half bent billiard, and it's a totally different story. Now I have also experienced that if you rub the rolled flake a bit before stuffing, it packs better. Jay's idea with fine cut cube sounds very interesting, and it makes sense. I shall give it a try. For me ... the cigar cutter seems to work well for cutting flake strips to cube. However, I cannot argue with papipeguy, his tools are legendary.

Huh, I've never considered that an obscenity. I guess the word alone can be an obscenity, but preceding with crazy I thought clearly indicated that I was kidding. Sorry if you felt offended by that.

See if everyone just smoked Carter Hall, we wouldn't get carried away with these posts! I'm smarter than I look,I know.

Uncle Yoda has the idea. If you crazy bastards are using cheese graters, may as well jump right up to a salad shooter. If you are hacking away with your knife, it is time to buy a new one and learn how to keep it sharp in the future.

I guess, since I live in the same town as the world headquarters of Presto Industries, I instantly wonder if their products will help me in my daily life. :rofl:

Wait, do you really? That's funny.

Using a mandolin cutter has always crossed my mind. Seems like it would make perfect flakes out of plugs. But, everytime I get close to the mandolin cutter, I have anxiety attacks, because last time I used it part of my finger made its way into the carrots.

"It should just cut through the flake[plug] like butter."
Just wait until your Mick McQuaid Plug arrives Michael, you might change your tune then. That stuff is as solid as granite!
Regards,
Jay.

This cheese grater may not be as crazy an idea as I thought. Look at this lighter that appears to come with a grater for your tobacco!

Smoked cheeses? Or, Cortez is trend setting.
The only thing that gets me about using a cheese grater for anything is that I always bust my knuckles on them. And, I can handle a little blood being in my hash browns, but not my tobacco. Anyone want to come over for dinner? ::
