Flakes Are In Baby!!!

Been enjoying them more lately. Maybe it's time. It seems a lot of things just happens when it's time for pipe smoking.

There's a time for all things and some things take time! Congrats!?

Nice! Even though I mostly rub them out, flakes are still my most enjoyed form of tobacco.

I love flakes. They are so versatile and can smoke depending on how you feel preparing them… Stuff and fold, rub them to broken flakes, rub and cut to ribbon, cube cut them

I've been experimenting with home made cube cuts by drying my flakes as is and then cutting perpendicularly across the grain. Great results will a lot of different blends.

I'm lazy, I'd prefer to fold, stuff, light and puff. My Flakes smoke great, I've seen no reason to spend any additional effort.

I know. After spending 30 seconds rubbing out a flake I need a nap LOL!

But frankly, I prefer stuff and fold too.

Flakes are always in... of course, I'm a sailor so I'm a little biased towards flake tobacco. ?

When I first started smoking flake tobacco, I would cube cut it.Then I tried cutting it into strips and lightly rubbing it out. In the last couple of weeks, I began using the stuff and fold method; It’s definitely faster and seems to smoke just as well as the other methods.

Tell me about it! I can't get anything done around the property, no matter who I call.

Oh, you mean that kind of flake! Well, that's a monologue unto itself... ?

I wish all tobaccos were in flake form. And I despise thin/fine shag cut (aka rat nest)

Flakes are a joy to smoke.

Same, cube cut, let dry, gravity fill. However they take less space in the chamber, where a single folded flake would take 2/3 of one of my larger pipes, cube cut fills about half.

I love flake. The look of it, the feel and especially the slow burning nature of the stuff and fold method.
