    Windy Day - Bad Smoke

    I don't need to smoke so badly that I attempt smoking in a breeze. It's not enjoyable or relaxing, and flavors are all wrong.

    Is This Tobacco Smokeable?

    In "Analysis of Chemical Components in Bloom on Cigar Leaf", scientists used atomic absorption spectrometry, ionic chromatography, UV spectrophotometry and gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy. They found "bloom of cigar leaf was a kind of mixture composed of KNO3, NH4Cl, as major constituents...

    Is This Tobacco Smokeable?

    Yes, and when the crystals warm up they melt into oil. I don't think this gets us closer to figuring out what plume is.

    Is This Tobacco Smokeable?

    BROBS, what are you saying exactly? What is "the carrier of moisture"? What evaporated? What is left behind? Are you saying plume is oils, dissolved in moisture (water?) that go to the surface, where the water evaporates and then the oils crystallize? Quite a few problems with that hypothesis.

    Is This Tobacco Smokeable?

    Crystals that should melt into liquid when warmed up, right?

    Is This Tobacco Smokeable?

    Don't throw it out. It's normal, it's just that I don't know that anyone has definitively explained the phenomenon.

    Is This Tobacco Smokeable?

    Really? Dried oils wicking out of a material and then crystallizing makes sense?

    Trouble With The Police And Your Pipe

    Olkofri, I take exception to your characterization. Just this week, after a surveillance operation by plain clothes detectives, we arrested a suspect for breaking into parking garages and laid 20 charges. Every week we've been doing extra patrols in Harbour Landing, Walsh Acres and downtown to...

    Now THIS is interesting: Peterson Has a New Blasting Process

    I prefer the sandblast on my Christmas 2015 to the sandblast on the "premier sandblast" posted by BROBS.

    Why Briar?

    Sas, if extractives or minerals are responsible for briar's heat resistance, and briar block prep involves boiling to remove resin, sap, "extractives" etc., then is briar boiling a sort of trade-off between making a better tasting but still heat resistant chunk of wood?

    Why Briar?

    Sasquatch, where did you get this from? In "Characteristics of briarwood" by Tsoumis et al (1988) the authors state that the high temperature resistance of briar is NOT due to silica, because the silica content of briar is low. Rather, the heat resistance is due to extractives, or low potassium...

    Swisher Sweets

    Old Ports, Colts and Backwoods were my gateway to pipe smoking. Walked into the tobacconist and asked if he had pipe tobacco anything like Backwoods. He said "That crap?" and sold me an Ewa prince and 2oz of a VaBur instead.

    Any Oolong / Green Tea Fans Here?

    You tea "hobbyists" are deluding yourselves. Why don't you admit you have a caffeine addiction, instead of calling it a "hobby"? Tea is just another caffeine delivery system.;)

    4Noggins blends don't have any tin art, so I put these together.

    The Pipe

    I have one, and think it's great. I don't know the physics behind pyrolytic graphite, but I believe heat transference is high and conductance is low. This means heat in one area of the bowl will easily spread to other parts of that layer of the bowl, but will not conduct heat through to the...

    Jim's John Cotton's Double Pressed Creme Review.

    Drumsandbeer used "rugged" to describe Sansepolcro on tobaccoreviews, if I recall. Jim used it for SJ Rimboche and Carolina Red Flake, among others.
