[QUOTE="shootist51, post: 68903, member: 90"] The process I use for this and all flake tobaccos is as follows; Using scissors I cut each flake into 1/8 X 1/8 inch squares. Gravity feed into the bowl. (Sprinkle) Light. DO NOT TAMP AT ALL until the tobacco will not relight, then tamp very lightly, using only the weight of the tamper to flatten the ash. (I use a pipe nail to tamp, so lightly means lightly) I read about this on another site, it apparently originated on the old Knox boards, but since I discovered it, I find that I have gravitated toward flakes and even with non-flake blends tend to use minimal packing and tamping. I find that it provides for a most enjoyable and cool smoke, almost without exception. I don't worry that I may have more re-lights as the satisfaction makes it well worth the matches. I also acquired a wind cap, so that if a smoke is interrupted, I cap the pipe and set it asided for DGT purposes later. My avaerage smoke time using this process runs betwee 1 and 1 1/2 hours per bowl, depending on how I sip. I believe the gent that first stumbled on this process was named Stein, but whomever it was, I dedicate the first pipe of each day to him :pipe: [/QUOTE]
