So, I bought the Penzance that IHT

[slowhand]

reviewed in the review thread. I bought the 8oz pouch not knowing what I was getting. Of course, the sheets of tobacco are huge. I've never had a flake tobacco so I read the link he provided about folding the flake. Now, these things are way bigger than than that. Do I cut them? Or crumble it up? Maybe I could fold just one sheet.

Can I leave the rest in the pouch or should I put it in a container of some sort?

I'm such a moron, I know.

i've got the small tin, and the flakes are too small to fold, and wouldn't fold anyway...

i'd fold 'em up (or cut them into 1" squares), and then gently rub them together between the palms of your hands until they break apart into strips.

then pack your bowl.

for storage, since it's in a bag, i'd put it in the bag, then in a container. that 8 oz will take a you a long while to get rid of.

Thanks for the tip. And you are right. It is going to take some time to smoke all this. It is quite the slab of tobacco.
