smoke volume that goes to 11

bluto · Sep 2, 2018

What are your recommendations for a tobacco blend having the most smoke volume . I like most of what I have tried thus far , often the smoke tastes good but is a little thin and blue if smoked gently .
I just tried a cavendish , burly and golden Virginia blend and the smoke volume was effortless , making billowing clouds of white , dense smoke without getting too hot.

Night Cap. One of our neighbors thought our house was on fire and called 911.

When I smoke you wouldn't know it unless you watched the pipe very closely, so no idea.

Chasing- I bet you’re getting some amazing flavors from your smokes. What’s your secret?

Volume of smoke produced doesn't often correlate with a very good smoke. English blends- hundreds of them- produce enough smoke for me. YMMV.

Dunhill MM965 produces a bit of smoke. Also, Nightcap, The Aperitif.

For volume building, you can't beat Cavendish, and if you like, you can usually add a condimental quantity to nearly any blend to build volume without changing the flavor overmuch. Most Cavendish I've smoked by itself is rather mild, if you like that.

Like above, you really shouldn’t see much smoke pouring out of a pipe. But, it is great to see the billowing smoke when it occurs. That said, Gaslight by G.L. produces lots of smoke. It’s a wonderful blend if your palate agrees it.

I find that adding a bit of beef lard to the bowl works wonders in the billowing smoke department.

A while back I read that unsweetened black cavendish is sometimes used in blends to increase smoke volume.

In addition to lard or bacon grease, a fine grind of black rubber added at about 1:4 will produce volumes of really nasty but thick black smoke.
And the taste should be similar to Condor, though that's more creosote based.

Ah yes, there was a cool video floating around I watched awhile back. Time to revisit.

Well sure, because that blend is 80% yard leaves.

John is right. Ever see a tire fire?
