Chesterton's Mad Science Ideas

[GKChesterton]

What happens if you kojify tobbaco? Or case burley with beef drippings? Burn grains of incense with your smoke? Microdose with peptides? Some stray idea you had at three o clock?

Follow along with Chesterton as he finds out.

Log 1.00 - Smoking Incense

One grain of Athonite style hyssop incense was placed on Balken Supreme in a well used cob and lit with an flexi-Bic lighter.

Initial toungebite at 7/10 scale--5 being chewing cedar for three hours, 10, a teaspoon of undiluted oregano oil-- but quickly diminished. The scent is reminiscent of what I imagine Lakelands to be like, floral and chalky. It was cool in the mouth and excellent in the retrohale, very sweet but not cloying. The ash was pale white, while the tar was a brassy orange compared to the usual yellow discharge. There was negligibly more cake build up and slightly less leaf fragments in the stem. The incense did not ghost upon resmoking the cob.

This experiment is a tenative success.

More varieties of incense and tobacco to be tried in differing quantities and casings. Plain frankencense and chios gum are in the mail.

Can anyone reccomend a cheap, quality, bulk tobacco blend for a constant.

I think that's what killed Houdini.

Some stray idea you had at three o clock?

Oh wait, nevermind, it was this one. Everyone gets done in by the archetypal 3am brainstorm. The internet just made it that much worse.

Log 2.00 - Smoking Jerkey

A pinch of shredded home-cured jerky was placed on Wessex Gold in a well used cob and lit with a Bic.

No toungebite. The room note was brisket. The smoke was plummy with a tinge of korean bbq or duck with plum sauce. Probably due to the coco aminos, soy sauce, and celery juice in the jerky. The grassy note completely dissapeared. The ash was grey while the tar was yellow.

This experiment is a success.

I bought a box of cobs and added sandalwood to the incense order.

This thread is awesome! I've tried dried palm fronds (long story) and it was quite incense like. I await more experiments and would love pics or descriptions of how you introduce/mix the components.

You may just want to get some GH&Co Black Twist, for quality tobacco that tastes of char broiled (well, charred to be honest) London Broil without smoking all sorts of oils that’ll do god knows what to you.

horehound is a herb, that may actually be a great addition in plant or essential oil form.. akin to deertongue I'd assume

1.01 - Smoking Incense

The hyssop incense tin was rinsed out, BS put in, and aged for a week. Smoked in the usual manner. The scent was slightly weaker. No toungebite. Smoke was cool, floral balken, and slightly chalky. Excellent on the retrohale. Tar, smoke, ash, and fragments as usual.

Success! Incense purchased from: Incense - https://stmpress.com/collections/incense

3.00 - Smoking var. plants

Wild rose hips - As usual with Two Timer. No toungebite. Smoke cool with a tangy rose scent. Ash, fragments as usual, tar brassy. Resmoked with BS, rose more pronounced. Resmoked with Wessex, even better, grassy aspect vanished, fruity scent buoyed to new heights.

Outstanding success. Collected a bag of rosehips for blending.

Wild Sagebrush - As usual with Two Timer. Massive toungebite. Smoke hot and way too sagy. Mild allergic reaction. Ash, fragments as usual, tar copper green.

Failure. May be good as a diluted tea casing.

Aspen Bark - As usual. Light tounge bite. Smoke cool, dusty, and vaguely medicinal. Tar, ash, fragments as usual.

Mediocre.

Pine sap, needles, bark - As usual. Light toungebite. Smoke smoggy and very piney. Ash black and sticky, dark red tar, and less fragments.

Tentative success. Pine tea perhaps? Note: Try ponderosa.

2.02 - Smoking var. parts of elk and deer.

Deer:
Blood - Harvested from the heart. Smoked as usual. No toungebite. Smoke reminiscent of iron, charred meat, and venison. Ash black, dark tar, fragments as usual.

Gross but satisfying.

Fur - Disgusting.

Venison - As with blood w/o iron and gamey. Lighter tar. Hard to smoke.

Meh.

Liver - As with blood, less charred meat and venison, more livery and sagey. Lighter tar.

Filling.

Dung - Comparable to unicorn turds.

Fat - Very gamey and sagey. Thick choking smoke. Black, greasy tar. Fragments as usual.

Nasty.

Elk:
As with deer, little gamey sage, more pine and beef. Fat surprisingly good with thinner smoke.

Overall, an unsurprising failure.

On the list.

Got ten pounds of two timer for a constant. Incense came in. Basicly the same as what was already written.

GK, might I suggest pressing the balkan supreme? I press my bs and it does wonders to smooth the edges and bring the orientals more to the forefront .
