    Ketchup, catsup, or how every you say it.

    I have been reading about the preparation and curing of tobbacco, as of late. I learned that all tobacco companies use some type of anti-microbial in the preparation process to prevent mold from ruining their product. That brings me to the ketchup smell in certain brands of toby. Vinegar is the...

    Best tobacco experience

    I was given a bunch of samples by a fellow how had lots of toby blends. When I smelled the latakia blends I was mortified. I couldn't bring myself to try them. I finaly gutted it up and gave one a go, man I loved that stuff there after. I now keep a jar of latakia to throw into what ever I am...

    ruins of Isengard

    I just mine from Just for Him. I like it alot....its a very mild, and smoot smoke with a nice room note. Light latikia and cavendish makes a nice combo. Being that I love latikia I think it will be short cut to mushrooms next though.

    broken dreams

    I recently bought a meer estate pipe. It had a cake build up in the bowl. So I decided to try to use a paper towel soaked in alcohol to soften the carbon and then remove the cake. I left the paper towel in the pipe over night to work. This morning the pipe is cracked.
