Re: How to rub out a flake?
Hi Adam,
Like previously mentioned do a search here and you will find a ton of
info on the subject.
For me personally I like to rub out certain blends to the point where
they are just strands which I then pack like most other cuts of
tobacco. One of my favorite packing methods is to roll the unrubbed
flake into little balls about the size of the chamber, drop em in and
then top it off with a bit of very well rubbed out tobacco to get a
good char going. Try all the methods that you hear about and see what
works best for you. Have fun!
