    What's wrong with that flake? It looks just like G&H Louisana Flake. Can't be all that bad.
    If I ever decided to make flake I'd weld up some bolt-together contraption so I could clamp it up and then 'stove' (lol) it in the oven while it's under pressure. It's not something I plan on doing tho. There are so many wonderful flakes out there already that I can't see the point... that and I already have decent stockpiles of all my favorites so why re-invent the wheel? I don't even have the time to try the ones that are already out there.
    It just delaminates when you slice it into flakes. It was a good smoke while it lasted. You've got a point about reinventing the wheel. There are so many great blends already out there ready to smoke. Although I save a little money buying the whole leaf, when you consider all the time it takes to come up with a good blend, there's little savings. I do enjoy working with the leaves and stretching them out, and the smells are fantastic when you open up a bag of the stuff. That's what keeps me coming back to it, that and when I get compliments on something I made.

    I liked that last bowl so much that I am having another small bowl of Five Brothers in a Dr. Grabow billiard.

    Probably your method of cutting is the culprit. I've considered designing and building a modern, quality tobacco slicer with a replaceable, disposable blade because there doesn't seem to be such a thing available anywhere. You look online and all you find are these ancient, cast iron things that are collectable and cost a fortune and are probably dull as mud and would take forever to sharpen. Maybe there's a market for a decent flake slicer... if not for the 'make your own flake' market, possibly for the 'I like to smoke plug tobacco' market.

    Oh, and I burned a gourd calabash full of SRT last night.
    Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

    Puffing Solani 763, White and Black. Dark Virginia, black cavendish and latakia. After a couple of fills that didn’t go down all that well, this one is hitting the spot.
    Cognition?
    On.

    I cut them with an ulu; maybe that was the problem. A guy in our pipe club buys those old plug cutters on Ebay and restores them. I'd buy one if I knew that it worked.

    Just finished a bowl of some of my stoved Virginia topped with some Five Brothers in an old Dunhill billiard with faint stampings.

    We had the Knoxville Pipe Club meeting last night. The owner of the venue, Smoky's Tobacco and Cigars, Dave Watson, spent some time with us and cracked open an 8 oz. bag of Penzance to share with us. Most of us had a bowl of it when he opened it. When Dave left he divided the rest of the Penzance into baggies and gave us each one! One of our members also passed around a jar of some McClelland 3 Oaks Syrian.

    That 3 Oaks Syrian is amazing!

    I tried some Lane 125th Anniversary for the first time last night. It was a little harsh for me.

    I finished off my bowl of 3 Oaks Syrian this morning and loaded up a bowl of Five Brothers in a knockabout Dr. Grabow to smoke on the way to work.

    Don’t wait for the storm to pass. Learn to dance in the rain.
