    Adding Staves to Tobacco Jars

    It was just a cutesy thing. Flick your choice of alcohol on a dry tobacco of your choice and then give it a toss and an hour or so to even out. I don’t really mess with production blends though because you’re messing with the Ph (adding tobaccos) and burn rate (alcohol) as it was intended

    Favourite Corn Cob?

    Used to like cobs a lot. Now I think they’re too much glue

    The Next Great Christmas Blend?

    You’d think Cringle would be the straight VA and Krampus would be the perique

    Do you think the altinok is less dense?

    A Tale of 2 Meers

    Fun comparison. I wonder, what’s their comparative weight??

    What Might You Add?

    I would smoke something else and age the light english blend.

    Will the Whole Dunhill Lineup Ever Return?

    No one knows. As someone who liked Durbar and Standard Mix Medium, I have an optimism that I’ll voice because otherwise the discourse will be all doom and gloom: maybe!

    Peterson EMP vs Amphora English

    I have not tried the Amphora but I think 965 or Nightcap is better for someone new. I think EMP has a tendency to get a little harsh when there is any over-puffing or if there's a breeze. The other two have more body and are less finicky.

    What’s the deal with Rattray’s Marlin Flake?

    I have had this experience of Marlin Flake being goopy and undryable. It is probably the worst of any blend I have that isn't an aromatic. I believe my tin was from 2018. OG I got from around that time was the same.

    Same Blend Sold under Different Names.

    Could someone speak to Newminster and PS?

    What are You Reading Now?

    Well I really enjoyed the first one and am liking the second one too. I am very interested about the big essay at the end, but I'll have to like each book to continue on. I really enjoyed his novel before the My Struggle books, A Time for Everything, and will probably work in Morningstar...

    Blends Showcasing Yenidje or Basma

    As I understand it, what does get grown gets mixed with other Basma types.

    Trick or Treating: How Old Is Too Old?

    So many age cut offs! If you’re in a good costume, you can have a treat! I should add that I did not engage with this ideology except as a treat-giver. So don’t think I’m still hounding anyone for candy with wisps of Old Dark Fired emanating slipping around my gorilla mask!
