Greetings ASP,

I'm talking about Flakes ... tobacco flakes, not personalities like
myself. � I know we've had discussions about this before, but as new
folks come on board and we have new experiences, I wonder ...

... Do you fold flakes to pack your pipe?

... Why, or why not?

... If you sometimes fold and other times you rub out, why do you do
either?

Thanks for your input and I look forward to reading and learning from
your responses. �Happy holidays,

Essentially I halfway rub out the entire 50 gram tin, and deposit
the rubbed out flakes in the *Lock & Loc* stortage container I reserve
for what I'll be smoking for the next week or so. Why? It is
convenient, straight forward, and the rough rub out allows the tobacco
to air out or dry out a bit before smoking. Besides, this way I only
rub out once. Because the results are rough and on the large size, the
tobacco has to be packed lightly. Smokes very well though. Folding and
or rolling into balls or whatever, or cutting etc, is simply too much
of a PITA to do every time I load a pipe.
