Never thought of that =] thanks
many, many ways to smoke flakes.

i've watched some of my buddies take the flakes and cut them across the grain so they turn into little "cubes". then they put the cubes in the pipe and smoke it that way.

i've rolled and stuffed/slid the tobacco into the chamber, so the grain of the tobacco is up/down. before i do that, i cut the tobacco all the same length, a little shorter than the depth of the bowl (eyeballed, of course). put a little kindling on top to start 'er off...

there are other ways as well. trial and error.

i would suggest if you're going to put whole flakes in there, get some strands of same tobacco, roll 'em up into a ball and drop that in first. kind of a buffer on the bottom of the bowl so the un-rubbed flakes don't block the draught hole. just like starting the "frank method".
