Best Of

I do have a basic "spice" grinder but rarely use it. I also usually don't rub out coins or flakes, instead preferring to fold and stuff them for a nice, rich, longer smoke. It's not as easy to keep lit, but I find it rewarding. Drying out the tobacco first really helps.

This old thread on Pipe Smoker's Den really helped me learn to love pressed tobacco, but I think most pipe smokers prefer to rub the tobacco out before smoking.
