[QUOTE="Ol'Dawg, post: 13472, member: 105"] Count me in as a former once-a-month or so smoker of Stonehaven. I thought of Stonehaven as a stoved and flake version of Tilbury. Both were good but a little too rich for my taste buds. The one thing I liked about Stonehaven was the way it would smolder and smolder in the pipe with little effort. The first batch of Stonehaven I had was at first bitter, but someone at the Knox board suggested to age it for 6 months then try it again. Sure enough it was not bitter and tasted much better. Mark/dottleman suggested another way to prepare flakes and I found it to be the best way to prepare Stonehaven. His suggestion consisted of: a. cutting a off a portion a flake enough for a bowl b. folding that portion length wise then cross wise into a square shape c. placing the square portion between the palms of your hands and rubbing in a circular motion for a few seconds forming a "ball of yarn" d. form the ball into a cylindrical shape and place into your pipe. When I first heard his method I didn't think it would work with the tough Stonehaven flakes, but if the moisture content is correct, the method will form a little ball of yarn.
