    ***What Are You Smoking, March 2021?***

    Whole leaf black kentucky twist. Sprayed some Kentucky with black spiced rum, twisted up and stoved for about 14 hours until almost black. Smooth, cool and strong with a hint of vanilla and molasses from the rum. In a cob.

    What Do You Do With The Dregs?

    I sprinkle it on top of bowls, makes it easier to get a good light with coarser cuts.

    Matches vs. Lighters

    Used to be a match guy, but switched over to lighters mostly as it's just easier to get a long gentle light in one go instead of using a few matches. Although I prefer the shape and direction of the flame with matches. I switched to an imco lighter, but got a cheap dupont knockoff cause i like...

    Which Blends Have The Most Macedonian Tobacco

    Well apparently presbytarian has them. I find the orientals in that blend do stand out as being unique compared to other blends.

    Calling Out All Balkan Fans

    Bill baileys balkan by dan tobacco is great. Kind of closer to a full english with ample latakia, Kentucky and perique but a nice one nonetheless.

    From Cigarette to Pipe

    Get some stronger blends to get that nicotine. Try to hold off on the first cigarette in the morning and replace it with a pipe. See how long you can hold off for that first cigarette. I think it's okay to inhale a little if you need to when you are trying to quit the cigs. It's better to...

    Canadian Style Pro And Con

    I had a canadian kriswill saga, was a nice pipe and light too. The button was too small for me, hard to clench. Even fell out of my mouth a couple times so I sold it.

    Twist Help!

    Ya just dry it more, I usually set my flakes or cut up twist out before bed and in morning it's good to go. It will dry a little less if you put it in an open jar or cup and a little more if it's spread out thinly on flat surface.

    That Blend That Changed Everything

    Another lat blend story here. It was a house english blend(maybe Mr. B's?) From a tobacconist here in Vancouver. I thought it smelled like leather and said "that one!" After previous only smoking the "ladies love it" house blends, the tobacconist was like "you sure you want that?" I insisted and...

    The Pipe Material You Smoke The Most

    These days the cobs are winning out, but I dont have a cob for my English blends and already have some dedicated briars that work well for those. 50% cobs 30% briar 10% meer 10% clay And the odd time I'll smoke my homemade cherry woods for some of my homegrown, just seems suiting.

    Are All English Blends Like This?

    Yes but it can get charged duties and taxes at the border. You can look it up but i think it's around 7$ per 50g duties and then provincial tax which is $.40 per gram in BC where i live($22) per 2 oz. I think less in other provinces, but add that to the cost of the tobacco($9) and its about...

    Are All English Blends Like This?

    Where are you looking at for tobaccos? If it's from the outside canada then you can be hit with taxes which almost bump the price up to what we pay here in canada(most of our tobacco cost is taxes) And to answer your question. Yes that is the flavour in a nutshell, but it takes a while to pick...

    If You Had to Choose Only One Tobacco

    Black stoved is just another term for virginia cavendish. It can be any virginia, but the brighter yellow virginias which are often used tend to be sweeter and creamier while the darker red virginias become a little more fruity when stoved black. Yes all blender together. I have tried many...

    How To Home Stove Tobacco - Informational Only

    Great post. Thanks for sharing. I do a lot of stoving with my whole leaf blends. Can totally transform virginia leaf to something else. Works nicely to soften a strong kentucky as well. Instead of a jar, i just use an aluminum baking tin as I don't want to risk loosing any batches from broken...

    How To Home Stove Tobacco - Informational Only

    Yep it works great and you get a rehydrated tobacco in hours instead of days. Can also use alcohol too instead of water to add some flavour. Using a spray bottle will help to evenly distribute the moisture and allow for less time in the oven

    Dry Tobacco

    I love using black spiced rum on my whole leaf blends. Bourbon is nice too, but the spiced rum adds a similar sweetness plus vanilla, molasses and of course various spices, with one simple ingredient. I just spray it on directly, sometimes before pressing plugs or stoving to add the needed moisture.
