How Can People Taste Anything Without Retrohaling?
I believe this is due to the same reason food tastes better when others make it. The common phrase of getting used to certain smells or senses is escaping me... I'm sure someone will know. Our senses become dull and accustom to what we've been doing, if we've been cooking, for example, we...- Kooky

Bizarre skin reaction
Because I worry about things as they come. I, unfortunately, have not seen any direct C related happenings since I have not had to visit a hospital for any reason in the past few years. Other than that it's been healthy people wearing masks. The first thing we're told is get your jab. Not to...- Kooky

Ayurvedic Tongue Scraper
Hello, Just wanted to share a tool that might be of interest for oral health. Regardless of its spiritual nature and Western views of Ayurvedic medicine as pseudoscience, I feel this tool does contribute something. The first time I used it I got rid of a gnarly white layer on top of my...- Kooky

How Can People Taste Anything Without Retrohaling?
As a dirty vegan I have an “umami powder” in the fridge I make, goes amazingly on various things. It’s made mostly of cashews and porcini mushrooms, the meatiest of mushrooms.- Kooky

How Can People Taste Anything Without Retrohaling?
A I didn’t smoke cigarettes but retrohale comes naturally. It amounts to breathing out your nose while raising your tongue, especially the “back” of your tongue, to the roof of your mouth. The longer you wait to raise your tongue once you start breathing out your nose, the cooler and more...- Kooky

How Can People Taste Anything Without Retrohaling?
Yes, reretrohale. Then if you happen to breathe the reretrohale back out your nose, you proceed to the advance technique of retroreretrohale.- Kooky

Opening a New Tin/Creating a Ritual?
Title edited. See Rule 9. What determines whether you open a special tin you've been saving, or create a ritual (like smoking the same more easily available blend every year on your birthday, holiday, special occasion)? Perhaps opening a special tin could be the ritual itself for certain days...- Kooky

Dogs & Pipes
We've got 2 German shepherds and they completely and utterly remind me of tobacco. No, it's not their color to me, although that is similar... I think it's because I've seen so many family photos from the 50s - 70s in the form of Polaroids growing up, slightly stained and fading. Shag carpets...- Kooky

How Can People Taste Anything Without Retrohaling?
As a noob, I've been trying out retrohale lately. I'd imagine the environmental aroma that persists after a pull is the only other way. I only smoke outside so I never experience the "room note". With a slight pull followed by gently puffing it out of my mouth while taking short, shallow...- Kooky

Any Gardeners here Growing Cilantro?
Cilantro is a cooler crop. Plant it in shade (maybe this doesn't apply everywhere, as I am from Florida...) I tend to start most delicate herbs in shade, then if they're heat loving like a rosemary bush or basil plant, move them to full or at least partial sun. Don't let them dry out during...- Kooky

***What are You Smoking, March 2022?***
That plug looks delicious. I can't wait to try one someday. Do you feel, like grinding your own coffee beans, the fresh cutting of a plug enhances flavor?- Kooky

My Garden is Almost Planted
I've got Roma tomatoes and heirloom Oaxaca tomatoes going, oh and I think some cherry tomatoes. I've got about 10 different kinds of peppers though which take up tomato slots. I know they're more specialty for such a small garden but I hope to transition this to how I feed myself someday. This...- Kooky

My Garden is Almost Planted
Congrats... here in FL last frost is Never 31st. Growing season is January 1st - January 1st. My garden is still very much in the works, both functionally and aesthetically. I am maximizing suburban space. I use dead space along the ground to plant things where soil is Native FL soil (literal...- Kooky

***What are You Smoking, March 2022?***
Because I didn't have a big lunch and also have been in the sun all day, I went with the lighter Morning Blend smoked in the brand new Peterson Dublin... I really enjoy the Dublin style.- Kooky

***What are You Smoking, March 2022?***
I will be smoking all of this new goodness. As to what I'm smoking in about 11 minutes when a soccer match begins, I don't know. Can somebody choose for me? Morning Blend, Father Dempsey, PS17 English Luxury, Haunted Bookshop, Balkan Supreme, or do I open a day-late tin of Irish Reserve? I...- Kooky

Current State of Deeming Regulations?
Hobby farming on how much land? My head might be on right but I have not much to show for it. I will be visiting a farmer's market this year (I hope) with rare organic hot peppers and Japanese vegetables. Big tip from a fellow gardener, Japanese vegetables love Florida's hot humidity... I am a...- Kooky
