[QUOTE="Zanaspus, post: 529241, member: 967"] Sailors were just as likely to chew as they were to smoke at any given time. This would indicate they favored small pieces of plug rather than a rubbed out product which might have been seen as a peculiar pursuit in the 16th century. Also, science has told us that those "sugar crystals" are not a mineral at all but a benign fungus. I have no problem lighting folded flakes, and since you're an old timer at the flake game you probably don't either. There's just no historical evidence that fully rubbing flake is the "right" thing to do. [/QUOTE]
