| OK Gents, I'm leaving myself wide open for a shot or two here so please excuse my ignorance! RonA just sent over some Stokkebye Bullseye medallions, As we do not get such luxuries here I have never had the pleasure of smoking it. So...... how do you prepare those pesky little circles for smoking???
What say you?????

| Two schools of thought here, For LBF & Escudo. Escudo ,having the same coin appearance, slightly different recipe.
Most prefer the roll & Stuff, Just separate the coins [ sometimes they're stuck together in the tin.] Then roll the coins into a loose tube then insert into bowl with a slght twisting motion like your screwing the tobacco in
Some do varying degrees of rubbing out as would be the practice with any other flake

| Thanks for the advice Old Salt!! Flakes I have smoked a lot of but was wondering about medallions as the baccy is rolled in layers, here having a wee bit of Black Cavendish in the center. I do most of the time roll & stuff flakes if they are thin enough and not to dry! |

| Piet, LBF along with PS luxury twist flake have become 2 of my favorites, especially considering the reasonable price they sell for. For me, LTF definitely smokes best if you fold it (make sure the folded edge breaks so you get distinct broken strands of tobacco) then roll the doubled up flake into a roll and insert into the pipe. I try to leave it loose with lots of air space, don't stuff it.
For LBF, I usually start the same way, fold the coin in half and roll up as above. However, because it is a coin instead of a flake, folding does not expose as many broken ends, so after folding and rolling I will twist gently, causing the strands of tobacco to line up parallel with each other. Then I insert into the pipe bowl, again trying not to compress or stuff too much. Folding also places the little cavendish bullseye at the top so I get that flavor working early before the vaper kicks in.
Pipe does make a big difference with both of these, I find a narrow chamber with lots of wall thickness like a dublin is a good choice, I really feel that the thickness of the bowl walls hold extra heat, permitting the tobacco to release its goodness without needing to puff and get the tobacco itself too hot. Just my thinking on the subject, seems to work with a lot of the flakes I enjoy. Mike |

| The advice above is dead on (I simply ball them up and twist them in myself); the only thing I would emphasize is that one should be sure to leave a good sized 'air pocket' at the bottom of the bowl. |

| For me, after much trial and error, I found that breaking the rings up in little pinches seems to do the trick, and the cavendish gets mixed in with the rest. I was wondering if P.S. makes something like this with a bit more of the cavendish? |

| Piet, I fully rub them most of the time. It's just a matter of choice. I have never had much luck with the fold method. The baccy seems to burn uneven for me, so I usually just rub them, let them dry and light it. |

| I usually fold them an twist them a little to break up the layers abit as i'm putting them in the bowl. Thru trial and error i found out that they burn better when the layers are slighlty broken up. |

Bru, after you've been rubbing them, it might be hard to fold it. |

Funny stuff. Yea I rub them too but when it comes to Macbaren Club blend for example it has a black Cavendish core. Here I think it is better to fold in order to get even flow of taste and unleash the cavendish (Kraken) half way down the bowl. Was just touching base here!! |

actually, folding over makes sense. both with the club blend and the stokkebye, i worry about the cavendish distribution when i rub it out. plus, i make a mess. |
