How does cube cutting effect the burn and flavor. I tried breaking up flake in somewhat of cube but never had any luck. How do you prepare the flake?

somewhere in the late 2000s all the sports seemed to change. Rules changed these games are not the same anymore.. Baseball, Hockey, Football, and NASCAR and Basketball are my main gripe. I loved watching all of these and over time they've changed so much I don't enjoy them as much. Mainly Hockey, hockey use to be so much better. Then .... And I'm not gonna get into detail about this for obvious reasons, but a lot of these Sports got political. Which is the last thing ya want when watching sports. So I don't watch a lot anymore. I watch a little Golf but that's it. Sports died somewhere after the early 2000s.

Did a set of walking reps and smoked a bowl of year 2016 D&R Three Sails in a slight bent black pattern etched 1977 Lorenzo Lorsan Sigma level top billiard with a gray swirl acrylic saddle stem. My neighbors' grandson was kicking a football around the yard, and I yelled at him to throw me one. I haven't throw a football in over forty years, so my first two passes are terrible. But, I remembered how to do it, and threw eight more good ones. I made him run a little. He made me run a little, too, but I caught every pass. His father was laughing that I did all of this with a pipe in my mouth. "How can you run with a pipe in your mouth?" I answered, "With great ease." That got a laugh from the five people who were around. It was a lot of fun.

Tomato the Brave watched all of this, and followed me back inside for another meal. He ate a lot the first time, and equaled that amount the second time before going back out. Daisy the Feral Princess body blocked the deck steps to get attention. Harry the Hairy is snoozin' on the couch and missed it all.

On SG, GH or moist dense flakes I usually cube cut them to increase the surface area of flakes for both drying and burning….results allow for a dryer more flavorful experience imho. And, with other flakes…I do a rough rub out and all for 1/2 hour or more for drying time. To each their own though. 👍☕
