Trying University Flake for the first time

Anything I should expect...this is my first flake.

Don't be operating heavy machinery!

As flakes go it is robust

That is a hell of a first flake. Make sure you are sitting down, she packs a serious nicotine wallop. Take your time with the charring light. May take a few false lights before the whole surface of the bowl is burning even. Once at full char, smoke SLOWLY...take sips rather than large puffs.

Awesome

Please remain seated while the room is in motion!

Fold and stuff flakes in the bowl, then rub out a small amount ( just a pinch ) to a very fine consistancy and put it on the top, makes lighting very easy and usually will burn to the bottom, instead of having to relight flakes a lot.

Peterson's UF has been my favorite smoke for a while now. Strong, but not quite as strong as their Irish Flake...and the very light plum topping is just enough to make it interesting and enjoyable without turning it into an aromatic. Highly recommended! ::

I find the fold and stuff is the best for Pete's UF, and I leave a little space at the bottom to give it a little room. dubinthedam on youtube shows it the best, just type in "dubinthedam flakes" in the search.

Also, it likes to burn down the middle alot, so just pull the flake away from the sides and give it a slight tamp to keep it even.

You picked a fine flake to start with. Let us know how you like it.

it is a very nice flake. i use the stuff n puff method with it too. it is a good flake for contemplation and green tea. the warden says it "don't stink as bad as the other ones", high praise from her...

simpledesign how did your experience with UF go?

 

[simpledesign]

Good....not to be smoked on an empty stomach that's for sure....also the flake takes a bit more prep thought process.
All in all I enjoy it mixed in with the others throughout the week

 

[marmal4de]

Glad to hear it was a hit!

 

[capnbellamy]

I've also not tried flake before either. This is excellent advice!

I'll be honest...the first time I smoked it I was "ok" with it.....but it really starts to grow on ya. Smoked it the otter day and was even more happy with it.
