    Friday Discussion: Tamper or Finger?

    I use a tamper. I’m picky about my tampers, I like a round tamper, concave if possible. I like to pull the bits from the edges and leave a dome in the middle. I’m a clean precise tamper I guess, haha. I need a tool to get it the way I want it. The foot of a Czech tool is not what I look for in a...

    Climate Change and Its Impact on Tobacco Quality

    It wouldn’t surprise me, hell it has been unbelievably dry here this year and probably subsequent years as well. I’ve noticed soil degradation in my area. I wouldn’t be surprised if pollution is also catching up to us and affecting the soil.

    ***What Are You Smoking, December 2024?***

    Good morning everyone. My head is on fire from nerve pain due to a pinched nerve in my neck, this is day 7 of intense pain and burning. I received an occipital ablation 2 weeks ago and they said the pain may worsen for a period of 2 weeks following the procedure. I’m starting to get irritated...

    ***What Are You Smoking, December 2024?***

    Good morning everyone, I’m starting to make a habit of starting my day with 3 Sails, CC medium roast is the drink. I seem to go through cycles of morning blends because I have so much to choose from. It occurred to me this morning that I’m eventually going to run out of 3 Sails so I probably...

    ***What Are You Smoking, Nov. 2024?***

    2021 Dark Birds Eye… or is it. Maybe it’s Kendal Dark. I don’t see any Bird’s Eye, I’m still confused about Dark Bird’s Eye, Kendal Kentucky and Kendal Dark all morphing into the same blend, despite the descriptions on SP. it’s a mystery to me. It’s good anyway, haha.

    Intolerance to Most Tobaccos

    I also wanted to add some things that I found helpful for me, pack loose. I have a tendency to pack too tight, I call them greedy packs, haha, I just get excited about smoking it so I cram to much into the bowl Also Biotene is wonderful and it’s difficult to smoke a lot without it. And...

    Intolerance to Most Tobaccos

    Tobacco was really hard on your mouth, some of us more than others. I also have this issue so I use filters, though part of my problem is that I smoke too fast and I’ll puff way too hard, sipping really is the way to go. I found Virginia Perique to be a little more tolerable, but the more...
