Just got home to find mine has arrived smells lovely and will be my first flake.
tried the Lord Methley s and it was nice enough but not wow, however I suspect it needed longer to air before smoking so will give it another couple of bowls before righting it off.

I found it a nice day time morning smoke

Yep, I've had three bowls, each at lunchtime and easy going no nonsense thanks again.

Just picked up a tin of ???? for next month's offering.

I struggled with it as not sure what to do and never got round to watching vids on you tube. Will try harder in future, sorry

Where's Butters when you need him?

[oskihen]

The best and simplest way Wigan to start with flake is to take your flake and rub together in your hands with a cupped Palm so it doesn't compact it too much , when it's rubbed out take your pipe bowl and gently swirl the bowl over the rubbed flake in your Palm gathering the tobacco into the pipe . You will end up with a loosely packed pipe ready to smoke

Perhaps that should have been the butter

Halfway through a bowl of April's tobacco...checking to see if it's fit for the Club[emoji6]

Thanks Tucky
It's a Weber Meerschaum lined 'English Para' I bought it as a lightly used estate off a guy in the states. It's a medium bowl and one of my favourites. If I want an unadulterated taste of a new tobacco, to get a feel for it, I generally take it fora trial run out in the Weber. I guess the same goes for older stock/tobaccos too
