That thing looks massive
WOW that is a nice looking pipe loving the stem. Is that a new Meerschaum? Looks like a nice smoker
I spread it very gently apart to dry. I always have some crumbs I put on top of the flake to help it get a good ember on top. Works for meCurrently battling a bowl of SG FVF in a Grabow Lark. I have been playing around with the fold and stuff method as opposed to rubbing out my flake tobacco. I let this dry for about an hour and I'm still having a hell of a time keeping it lit. Trying to be patient and just sip as I know FVF can bite the hell out of your tongue if you smoke it to hot.
This tin is from June 2013 and the tobacco has some nice crystals forming.
EMP in a Briar Bird. Heading into work on my weekend off. Fortunately pipe smoking as coffee ease the pain! Should be home by 3 pm or so. Have a great day pipaz!
Thanks. I'll give that a try on my next bowl of flake.I spread it very gently apart to dry. I always have some crumbs I put on top of the flake to help it get a good ember on top. Works for me
