Default Re: GH&Co Dark Flake (unscented)

I had a bowl of this a few days ago, and it was a real pain in the ass. I let it dry seven hours before trying to smoke it, and put it down after 5 or 6 trys of trying to keep it lit. Went back to it the next evening (about 22 hrs), and it still wouldn't stay lit. Same thing the next morning. By this time I had gotten thru half the bowl.

I really did like the flavor, tho. Next time, maybe I'll try it in another pipe.

My method was breaking the stuff into smallish, chunky fragments by bending/breaking with fingertips (it wouldn't rub) and dropping it into the pipe. I topped the shards with a small amount of maximum crumbled flake. It was slow to an initial light (a match was better than a Zippo) but it took well and quickly softened for easy compression.

Never smoked anything else with a hard-to-soft texture like this.
