[QUOTE="roogles, post: 208818, member: 2147"] In light of all the folks who have success with the fold-n-stuff method, I decided to give it a try on the way home last night and wanted to report my experience... I took 2/3 of a full flake of the MacBaren Vanilla Cream - performed the "fold-n-stuff" method as described on MacBaren's site, and went about my normal routine of lighting up in the car as soon as I was off company property. Contrary to the cubing method I normally employ, I found it a lot more difficult to light (and keep lit) - and felt like it took much longer for the cap to settle down to what I considered a comfortable burning pace... I don't think it was my imagination that the bowl tasted differently, and the draw was definitely way more open than what I've been used to while cubing the flake. I also detected that my MM hardwood pipe got very very hot during the smoke (likely tied to the increased puffing I felt like I had to employ to keep the bowl lit). This was an isolated experiment, but seems to have convinced me even more that taking the time to cube and gently pack the flake works better for me than the fold-n-stuff. Again... just my take, your mileage may vary. [/QUOTE]
