Virginia coins, less tongue bite with fold and stuff?

When I first started smoking coins, like Escudo and luxury Bullseye Flake I mostly folded and stuffed. After a few episodes of the tobacco expanding and setting up like concrete in the bowl, I reverted over to rubbing it all out. While watching a video that followed the Perique tour in the other thread, Per Jensen said (at about 7:15) that folding and stuffing reduces the possibility of tongue bite, rubbing out increases it. He said that folding and stuffing allows it to burn at a lower temperature...which really makes sense...rubbing out tobacco's increases the amount of airflow, and would increase burn rate.

I think that I heard him right, the audio on my laptop sucks!

I think that it is time for e to revisit fold and stuff.




Darin, you need to buy a rope roller like that one they have at MacBaren...a real time saver!
