The Last Third of the Bowl
I have noted through my own experiments using the same tobacco in the same bowl on different days that focusing on slowing down and getting a cooler smoke all the way through maintains or improves the flavor towards the bottom. I do believe that smoking too fast, and therefore too hot/wet...- lukifer

Looking for a place to buy Oriental Varietals
This was one of the ounces I purchased from P&C. Very pleased with it. It has a very interesting flavor but I found the smoke to be very thin. I plan on experimenting with drying it more but maybe it is simply the nature of that variety.- lukifer

Looking for a place to buy Oriental Varietals
I do understand Hoosier's point, the difference monetarily between buying 2oz and 8oz is insignificant. In light of this, I do understand it seems I am being overly picky. My aversions to purchasing a half pound of whole leaf were primarily the abundance of tobacco I am already sitting on as...- lukifer

Looking for a place to buy Oriental Varietals
I have found a site that I can buy individual 4 ounce whole leaf samples of Basma and Samsun for about $6 each per sample not including tax and shipping.

If I went the Boveda packet route, which RH% would get me closest to where I need to be? I am not sure what RH I would want tobacco to be at.- lukifer

Question about Tobacco Dryness among Varieties
Thank you everyone for your replies, they were very helpful. In my experimentation thus far I have overdone the drying on a few small batches which I then mix with undried tobacco from the original tin in a separate jar to let their moisture content equalize. This seems to work well as long...- lukifer

Question about Tobacco Dryness among Varieties
Greetings all. New to the forum, but have been an account-less lurker for some time. I have an odd question that will no doubt sound rather silly so please forgive my inexperience. I could not find another post about specifically this, so I created one. As the title states, this is a complex...- lukifer
