[QUOTE="MisterE, post: 434995, member: 820"] I agree that a blend changes after opening. Whether it's better or not depends on what you like . That said, some of the best smokes I've ever had are from tins with one flake left that I had forgotten about completely. ? I'll usually try some right away after opening just to get a feel for it at tin moisture level. If it's a flake on the wet side, I'll usually cube it up in to fine bits so it is easier to let an even light. I cut across the flake about the width of the scissors blade. Then I'll make a little grid with a bit of wadded-up flake, and pour the bits over it. Later I'll try it folded, rubbed out, and at varying levels of moisture. With ribbon cut, just dry it more or less. By about halfway through the tin I've tried it in just about every way possible and can decide how I like it best. Edit: Also try giving a bowl a charring light and let it sit for a few minutes, then relight. That often brings out a a lot of nuances you might not notice when you light and go. [/QUOTE]
