Today I was puffing some unrubbed out SG Balkan Flake and early on it was expanding and jumping out of the bowl. As I think about it, SG flakes in general do this, much more than the tamer ribbons from Dunhill. Normally I like chunks in my tobacco. I enjoy the flavor bursts with some of the coarser American blends. And when I get the ember going, the smoldering chunks provide a lot of flavor with little puffing.
Anybody with insights on this?

lucky in that dept Les, in all my yrs in that dept, never a burn hole in any clothing.
Reminds me of (I think) old Rodney Dangerfield classic
"I've go no respect OR luck at all. Bought a suit with 2pr of pants. Burned a hole in the COAT"!

Most all my t-shirts have burn holes in them regardless of the 'baccy. Could be a user operating issue.

Cube cut is the worst for me … always jumping out when I breathe back through the pipe.  |

Cube Cut gets me every single time. It never fails. As Ronv69 mentioned, those meteors from that other stuff have definitely destroyed many clothes, car seats, couches, etc... |

I am convinced that Cintas uniforms have petroleum derivatives infused in the shirts...they have a high flam factor.
As a result, I am constantly getting new shirts.

CUBE CUT is the undisputed world champion of burning holes.

You can pick up fire resistant lab coats that would make a great smoking jacket as the weather permits. They are a tight weave and keep the smoke off your clothes if you have to go somewhere later.

Not illegal where I live.... Praying for a positive vote this November! Well, I'm in Texas. You can theoretically get life for a gram, though enforcement is way off. I don't expect it to be legal in my lifetime. |

Cintas was my official uniform provider for 15 years. Most of us ordered other brands after that first "new hire" order... but the flight attendants eventually brought a successful group grievance against the company after a batch of uniforms actually made several of them sick, rashes etc, due to chemicals on the fabric! |
