What Did You Smoke Today? (Pipe Edition)

[Brimy]

Bought this Chris Morgan off @shempjizzle a couple of years ago. Broke it in with some PS Luxury Flake.
Today I'm going to try it with some SG Chocolate Flake. Now do I try to fold & tuck or do I rub it out? I'm really only familiar with rubbed or ribbons.

Forgot my tamper, so this hex head will have to do.

I prefer to rub out flakes before smoking them. But there are others that like to fold and stuff the flakes. Rubbing out the flakes gives a more uniform distribution of the tobacco. The tobacco burns better and doesn't require as many relights.

Have you ever compared that with G&H Black Twist Sliced?
From what I've read, it's supposedly the same blend but I pick up a top note on the sliced - probably tonquin - that isn't there on the rope.

IMO a very coarse rub is best with that blend but try it a few different ways. It'll be a little different each way.
Dry that one till almost crispy too. It comes very wet and doesn't burn unless it's quite dry. Doesn't taste right either IMO if too wet.

I'm leaning toward a bowl of Rum Twist or Black Twist Sliced in the gourd tonight...
My tamper will be a 16 penny nail or a drywall screw

This may actually be the sliced, since you mentioned it. The cut looks like it - lots of slim coins and stringy ribbons. It was in a jar that I had put some leftover from a larger quantity. Yes, I detect the top note too.

5 minutes ago I set out a bowl's worth of the same weed. I like whatever the top note is. I miss it in the rope.

Well I've learned that I need to let it dry out more because it wouldn't stay lit as you'll said.
I'll definitely try the coarse rub next time.

A little LBF in the freehand pickaxe. Not many more nice days left so enjoying this over the grill. A little windy making it smoke a bit hot but still tasty stuff.

I really like that pipe!
And yes, Sam Gawith often needs significant drying.
