Questions You Thought Were Too Dumb to Ask (Pipes Edition)

[Branzig]

One more question, sorry if this seems too obvious..but I guess you cut off medallions then rub them out like flake? I haven't smoked much flake either, so I'm not very familiar with that part of it.

rubbing out rope medallions is one way of smoking them. You can cube cut them, or stack them, fold & stuff. Most the time when I smoke rope tobacco, I'll rub out a thin medallion, stuff/stack a few, and rub out a little more for the top. Once in a while, I'll just take a bite and chew it

Pretty much exactly what Wayne said here. Well everything except for the whole chewing on it part

With medallions, I like usually like to dry them out quite a bit, then fold and stuff them in a nice narrow bowled pipe. If they are a little more moist, I will just rub them out.
