I looked at the various tobaccos, dokhas?, and see them rated Hot, Cold, Warm. Makes you wonder. I remember seeing men in markets and coffee houses in Morocco smoking pipes like that and thinking it was all Kif, but one of the locals had told me it was (mostly) tobacco.
Funny, didn't look like tobacco.
I liked those pipes, though. The minimalist approach.
I have to add, that is a fascinating site, @silvermouse , The "Horde of the Rings" collection interests me. As well as "your grandfathers medwakh". I'm going to have to think about that.

Working through the baccy pouch of 1q and I have to say it's growing on me. I can't say whether i am smoking it better or it is smoking better as it dries some in the unsealed pouch, or maybe some of both. The flavor is opening some and I'm getting a little vanilla playing off chocolate. But it still lacks the body I like. It's more like an appetizer smoke...it gets me grumbling for a big main course.

That's my feeling exactly!

First pipe: a generic burley from my local BnM in my Savenelli. Second Pipe : Top Black Cherry in my cob.
You'll see a lot of this since I have two pipes (but a third is on the way, and I'm deciding on my fourth) and just a few jars of tobacco (but more of that on the way too!)

Fold in half with grain, then in half against. Didnt burn very well. I'll probably rub it down next time.

I haven't had much luck with the fold and stuff but a method that worked decent for me was to let it dry some as an intact flake, then push it down the bowl while I twist it. If I sent enough to do that and a rub, it might be worth trying. But breaking it down to ribbon is sure to work as long as it's dry enough. My biggest hurdle on the flakes is the moisture
Yeah looking back I think I should have let it sit out a bit to dry as it was a struggle to get it to burn. I have read that can be a common thing with the folding method for flake.

The pipe is a sandblasted Stanwell Barok. The only information I have about it is this,
from the website I purchased it from.
"The Barok series is one we never saw until several turned up
amongst the dozens of briars acquired as a result of the cleaning out of the
old Stanwell factory. The defining
characteristic of the series is the shank treatment, wherein it features a
sterling silver band sandwiched between two slender brass rings."

Very light smoke in a cob

Are you going to tell us what the pipe is @Stubble
