    I'm not familiar with that particular tobacco. Depends on how moist it is. 5-15 minutes for most, up to a couple hours for others IME. You don't want it crispy, just moist enough for a perfect bowl. Some people microwave for a few seconds if they're in a hurry, I've never done this personally.

    Today’s Bowl 2020

    I think that shredded tobacco on the dryer side smokes the coolest, so I rub out or grind all flakes and ropes before loading. I also think this gives the fullest flavors from the tobacco, YMMV

    Todays Smoke 2018

    These and Caldwell Anastasia both have a really stinky pre-light aroma, and not in a good way IMHO, but both are very tasty

    Pipe leather rests

    2 tier or multi tier racks hold more pipes per square foot, just saying. That said, I'll take 2 ;)

    Peter Stokkebye or Arango Balkan Supreme is a really good bulk blend

    It's very good at $15 a tin if you like heavy Balkans. Plenty of other excellent options in this category to waste big $$ on it.

    Pipe lighter

    It's a great lighter, especially for the money. Just replaced the flint for the first time since purchased a year ago and I use it almost every day!

    Pipe lighter

    I have a Kiribi Kabuto and would recommend it. It's a very good lighter.

    A big bowl of GLP Jackknife Plug in my giant Capitello Pot, I think this pipe holds a bit more than 2 regular size bowls worth [emoji848]
