Flake storage
I just received a half pound of Gawith and Hogarth Bob's Chocolate Flake (there's no accounting for taste). It comes to me in what looks like a small brick about 6 inches long. Most bulks I store in glass canning jars to keep fresh and age, but this isn't going to fit, unless I mutilate it first. Any suggestions for a good way of storing this block? It will take me quite a while to go through this; I do like this blend, but not something I smoke that often.

Slice it to fit and plunk it in a jar. Leave it exposed for too long and you may end up with Bob's Flake instead of Bob's Chocolate Flake. I like Coniston Cut Plug so I got one of those 500gr. or whatever they are the last drop from Samuel Gawith. I fell upon it like a wild Apache with a scalping knife and got it trimmed up in no time. I rub flakes out completely so you may need to use more care than I did. Sharp knife, clean jar is the way to go in my opinion.
