I'm assuming rub out has a sexual connotation ?! Ive never heard of such a thing ... I'll have to look it up

I get depressed when i read about plugs . I miss Warrior plug and Mick McQuaid plug

Anyway , I would cut thin and break it up a bit and stick it in there and have at it

What exactly does rub out mean?

I assume it means to use your fingers and rub the tobacco until small flakes are left... do I have this right?

Any advice on run out?
I will just take the chunk I cut and sort of wad it up in the palm of my hand. I rub the 'baccy-wad in a circular motion and let the bits fall out between my hands on to some sort of plate or mat.
This is my method, but I leave it in my palm so I can codger scoop it from there. I rub that wad between my palms to break it up. The goal is to turn it into mostly ribbon.

I would like to recommend another "English/Balkan" blend, that being Kramer's Father Dempsey.
It has the added benefit in my view that it is available in bulk from Smoking Pipes for a very reasonable price...
less than $6 for 2 oz.
