My Fold-n-Stuff Method

[coffeecup]

Thanks Brandon!

This is actually a really old post from Puff, but I thought it was still relevant. I ALMOST even sound like I know what I'm talking about.

FYI, it's been about 5 years since I posted this, I still don't have flakes totally figured-out.

Jeff! This is one great informative post. My first question for myself is "where the heck was I" when you posted this on Puff? As you already know that I have been following all of your posts since I originally got on Puff and I cannot believe that I missed this. I can only conclude that you posted this before I came on the scene. Even though I have been folding and stuffing flake tobaccos for several years there are subtitle differences in my approach that I intend to look over carefully; as "Mr. Moo" has said in the past "even old codgers can learn from young bucks".

Thank You for this thread,,,now could you explain the "musketball"method.Also do you have any suggestions as to a med flavored aromatic.Vit N isn't a problem,I've been smoking cigars and ciggarettes long enough that anything light would probably kill me.

Thanks for taking the time to write this, and for the clear pictures. I have not figured the flake out at all yet, so this will be fun to try.

I just put out some tobacco to dry a little overnight and will give this method a try in the morning.

Let us know how it goes!

Hey Moe, thanks for the kind words!

I don't remember the exact date, but it must have been in the fairly early days.

I would love to hear more about your method, like I said, I'm no pro.

You know what? I've never done the musketball method. I'm sure one of the other fine BOTL would be willing to share their process though.

I'm not a huge aromatic guy, but my favorites are from blenders like Samuel Gawith. I love their chocolate flake, 1792 is the best aromatic though! Perhaps @Tobias Lutz could point you towards more aromatics.

SG Firedance Flake is delicious, IMO

I must give credit where it is due. The musketball method is a creation of @freestoke . The basic idea is to roll the flake into a musketall of the proper caliber and lightly stuff it into the chamber, leaving a small air pocket at the bottom. One additional thing I like to do is to throw some small scraps on the top of the musketball in order to prime the charge. The below links to our old home, so I hope it works.

Can't believe I forgot this one! Great suggestion.

Also, I recommend Gawith and Hogarth Scotch Flake Scented as a great aro.
