Packing Bullseye Coins

[olkofri]

So, got me some PS Bullseye Flake, and got to thinking... I normally rub out flakes because the fold and stuff just won't stay lit worth a trout. But, with Bullseye coins, with their an aromatic centre and all, is there a best way to pack them for optimal enjoyment? Or just rub out and pack?

How do you mates pack your PS Bullseye? ?

aromatic centre

?It's unflavored. More sweetness from the fermentation of the processing than anything. Adds body to the smoke.


I just roll the coins into balls and pack them. Some take two of them and fold them together once and pack.

Those bullseyes are over an inch wide. You’d have to have a pretty big chamber to stack them.
I just crumple. I haven't ever found a way to try utilizing the “flake” aspect of coins.
But, I have punched the eyes out of them and smoked the cavendish centers by them self. Twas not impressed. No flavor detected.

Those ones I rub out to distribute the cavendish. No idea if it makes a difference.

I pop out the centers, fold coin in half and cut into cubes with scissors. I also cut up the centers and mix throughout the bowl.

You cruel bastard!

Those bullseye centers are a pain in the ass. They refuse to cooperate and frankly don’t add anything. Plus it makes the coins hard to fold and stuff or keep lit. I punch them out too.

Lately I’ve just bought Luxury Navy Flake and Luxury Twist instead and like both of them much better anyway. YMMV.

I do a bastardization of a fold and stuff..... I break and then kinda stuff. This blend really expands when hit with satan’s finger. So I more lay the bowl on its side and then add the long strands in like stacking twigs. I then put the bowl upright and very lightly “pack”. This gives me room to put the “kindling” (crushed flake) on top. I then light and enjoy.

Don’t forget this flake should be thoroughly dried.

I puff bullseye flakes all the time and buy them in 24 oz boxes. I just pop out the centers and rub out the rest of the coins. Then I crumble the centers in two different spots in the chamber as I pack. It works for me and I can tell when I hit a pocket of Cavendish.

The key to LBF for me is drying much more than I originally thought or normally do with flakes/coins, rub out one coin very thoroughly, gravity fill with half the rubbed out coin, fold and stuff the second coin, then top with the other half of the rubbed out coin. It’s tedious but works great for me.

Just shove them in and smoke.. If it feels too tight, it may not be.. as packing them that way will usually leave an air pocket at the bottom.

I refuse to make that kind of mess everytime I smoke.. plus, it will make your hand look like you got doodoo on it.

Usually rub out and mix the Cavendish throughout, though I have also taken 2 coins, rubbed the Cavendish centers out into a separate pile, half the VaPer ribbons, Cavendish in the middle, then rest of VaPer on top. Makes for a fun interlude mid-bowl, but then again, I don't like Cavendish in my VaPer

Same here.

Seems to work alright, though I have always felt the Cavendish underwhelmed in terms sweetness. That may be an issue with my expectations, but I think LNF is just a sweeter flake to my palate and I prefer it. But maybe the Bullseye would benefit more from some aging? Hard to beat the value on any of the luxury flakes, and I think they're all at least solid.

Wad and stuff and be done...

Do folks think cavendish equates aromatic?

 

[Mtlpiper]

I do the stack 2 and fold. Then stuff in edgeways if that makes sense. Same as Escudo etc. I've never tried rolling up coins or flakes into balls. Will try it next time though.

 

[olkofri]

Do folks think cavendish equates aromatic?

I do. Unless it specifically states "unflavoured cavendish".

 

[Chasing Embers]

I do. Unless it specifically states "unflavoured cavendish".

Unless the blend is labeled aromatic, its likely unflavored. A few English, Scottish, and Balkan blends list cavendish but aren't aromatic. It's just a curing process of tobacco.

I usually pull the jar out, look at them, and the see the jar of LTF right next to them and smoke that instead.

But all three luxury blends I won’t touch until a year in the jar. Those blends benefit more from jar time than maybe anything else ive had (GLP VA based blends maybe come close).

Fresh I find all three underwhelming. But to answer legitimately, I rub them out fully and then dry them by touch like any other flake or coin.

I hope so. I have some LBF jarred. I've only tried it once, and found it very strange tasting...hard to describe, but didn't exactly find it appealing. Plan to try again down the road a way...maybe a long way.
