Flake, coins, rope, cube cut, etc

[LazyLightning]

I break off a small portion and rub it out with my fingers. Then I let it dry until it's ready the way I like it.
I just spread it out on a paper towel until it's dry enough for me.

Find what works for you because it's up to the individual what works the best for them.

Right on the nose!

Once you get past ribbon cut, it can get a little confusing. I usually only pull out my knife if it’s a blend like Triple Play for example ( which is a plug ) basically a compressed brick. I’ll slice off how much I plan to smoke, then rub it out as stated above. Flakes, coins, etc.. can most all be done that way. Though most flake I do a bend, gentle twist and then slide it in the chamber.

You may not like doing it that way, so experiment, it’s part of the fun 🙂
