    MOLD MOLD MOLD!!!

    Actually you haven't proved that. Do you wipe your hands with bleach or vinegar every time before you handle your block of tobacco? Mold spores are EVERYWHERE. Because you have handled the tobacco for several months you can't definitively blame the blender for this. At what point would you...

    MOLD MOLD MOLD!!!

    My 2 cents You've had this open for several months and have been smoking it so the jar has been opened and closed many times plus with a plug you have been handling it to cut it into smokeable portions. My opinion is how is this the blender's fault? Mold is everywhere and just your fingers...

    First week - Many, Many Questions... Beginner help pls!

    Welcome! Beginning is always a journey, takes awhile for you to figure out what works best for you and everyone is a bit different. More than likely a ribbon cut. 1. Amount of tobacco varies due to size and shape of the bowl, cut of the tobacco, and personal preference. 2. It varies (get used...

    New To tobacco pipe smoking

    I've always found Borkum Riff blends smoke hot, tasteless and tend to bite me. Pipe smoking takes time to develop your technique of packing and smoking pace that works for you. Go slower than you think you need to. Sip your pipe also have water/tea/beverage to drink while you smoke. You...

    Tragedy in France: Notre Dame Cathedral Engulfed In Flames.

    Macron can say whatever he wants but it will be the Vatican that will oversee the reconstruction. My opinion is that it will be restored/reconstructed to be as close to original as possible. A good time to be a stone mason!

    Tragedy in France: Notre Dame Cathedral Engulfed In Flames.

    Too early to know cause for sure but may be linked to restoration work that was being done. Main spire and roof of cathedral is gone........tragic. All that lead being liquified is another health concern.
