[QUOTE="Dutch, post: 148370, member: 1387"] For me, flakes are much richer in flavor, similar to scotch compared to other alcoholic beverages. I smoke flakes when I'm in the mood for that type flavor. One thing about flakes I've experienced is they burn hotter if you try to smoke them as quickly as a ribbon cut. This situation has the potential to heat up the bowl to a point that you may hear a loud pop, which probably means you cracked the interior of your bowl. Rubbing the flake out and smoking it slower can minimize the heat buildup. Another thing you can do for a better experience with flakes, is to buy a smaller diameter deeper bowled pipe. These style pipes are sometimes referred to as "flake pipes." [/QUOTE]
