    Casings

    Thanks!

    Casings

    Mainly from Whole Leaf Tobacco. I’ve also gotten smaller samples from Leaf Only. Leaf Only seems have a bigger selection for pipe tobaccos. I’ve been really impressed with the packaging, condition, and quality of leaves from Whole Leaf Tobacco, though.

    Casings

    Thank you. This is a very helpful start. Also, looks like I have taste buds of a dumpster rat.

    Casings

    Also on a side note: does anyone know which kind of vinegar is used for vinegar casings (white or apple cider)?

    Casings

    Aloha, I was looking at making some casings at home, and curious if anyone had any good recipes. I’m looking for a cocoa casing recipe for burley, a vanilla casing recipe, and possibly licorice (I’m thinking Irish flake-like).

    Zippo Butane Pipe Lighter Insert

    This is what it does. I’d recommend it. It does actually really well at not torching the rim. It also does well in the wind if you don’t mind torching your tobacco a little.

    Zippo has great customer service. Just let them know. They’ll repair it for free.

    Zippo Butane Pipe Lighter Insert

    My friend gave me one the other day. I’ve been enjoying it. Seems well made. Works great in windless environments

    ***What Are You Smoking, July 2023?***

    Reading some St. Augustine while I wait for tropical storm Calvin to hit us. Enjoying a blend of whole leaf I made. Probably has 6 different components. A bold, but smooth blend, that gives me notes of hot chocolate.

    What kind of tobacco?

    I second this. Especially burley flake #1 and #3.

    What kind of tobacco?

    It’s all gonna be very subjective. If you like strong and full body tobaccos, try HH bold Kentucky by MacBaren. English blends might not be a bad option either.

    Hawaii Bans Online Tobacco Sales: SHTF Scenario

    I think that may fall under, not knowingly 🤦🏻‍♂️

    Hawaii Bans Online Tobacco Sales: SHTF Scenario

    I will say we are entirely free to ship tobacco out of Hawai’i.

    Hawaii Bans Online Tobacco Sales: SHTF Scenario

    It’s not illegal for the sender, just for the receiver to knowingly recieve.

    Hawaii Bans Online Tobacco Sales: SHTF Scenario

    Mormon influence is definitely seen in the alcohol laws in Utah. I wouldn’t be surprised if that influenced the tobacco laws. This is less of a conservative legislation, albeit in a conservative state.
