    Briar Carbonization vs Cake Formation

    I believe the cake toward the top is thin so the briar is less protected there and at the rim from lighting and from the cherry. There is also the possibility that the cake toward the bottom had a hole in it allowing heat through to cause a burnout.

    Strange Lingering Taste. Bad Tobacco?

    Oh and another thing I use 190 proof grain alcohol on my all of my meers without issues. A problem could occur with using a lot of liquid and then using a hard implement because any fluid softens block meer. I believe meers are carved soft using water to make it easier. To clean with alcohol...

    Strange Lingering Taste. Bad Tobacco?

    My guess is the tobacco needs to be packed tighter and allow less air. The tobacco is burning too well and completely and you want a smoulder. This creates bigger ash. Complete burning makes a finer ash. Your post was long so at this time of writing this I can't recall if you said your...

    Preventing Mold in 5 lb Bulk Storage? Chemistry?

    I store 1 2/3 to 2 lbs of tobacco flakes and ribbons in half gal masons with a moisture level of about 20 percent with no mold for years. I vacuum seal them using a small device that sucks out the air I got on Amazon. Works well for me.

    Plastic for Storing Tobacco?

    Tupperware is good for totally dry things like dried herbs down to practically 0 percent moisture. Great for avoiding mold in dried herbs. I have stored dried herbs in Tupperware for decades and they have the same effectiveness as day 1. If you want to dry your tobacco to that level use...

    Bowl Shape for Aromatics?

    I find that a Peterson system or any cob shape works best for me and my aros I have. My aros are not the goupy sugary sweet type though. They are in the vein of a slightly aro such as MacBaren Scottish.
