You need to apply an herbal flint (not a regular flint, but looks the same) to the pressing box in order to prepare your pipeweed for smoking.
I used a regular flint last night, so that works too.
If you use a regular flint, it will dry the pipeweed, load it into your pipe and smoke it. The problem will be that you won't benefit from the healing properties that you would if you "properly" prepare it.
Ah yes that explains why I made a whole bunch of tobacco that doesn't give me healing. And my friend made a batch that does give me healing. I was using the cheap flint and he was using the herbal flint. Splendid'
* Spends countless hours IC , merely standing around knee deep in some muck just outside of the Battlehelm Moore's (occasionally visited by a skunk ) tokeing his yew pipe to make up for all the time he spent carrying around all the ingredients and not being able to enjoy it!* Yay!
Thanks so much!
