    Multiple Tobacco's in One Pipe

    I have a cob that I use when I smoke Aros, and there might be some ghosting but I do not find it overpowering.

    Sterlizing the Stem

    As far as sterilization goes I believe in the saying "Clorox kills!" Bleach is great for sterilization. 1 part bleach to 10 parts water kills most things, 1:5 is required for tuberculosis and 1:2.5 will inactivated prions (mad cow disease etc). Rinse well!

    Horror Photos on Cigarette Packs

    It's not to often I laugh out loud reading something but that's just funny until you begin to think that in 20 years this could be a reality

    New Obamacare Premium Hikes for Smokers

    The government caused the current system by not allowing wage increases during ww2. Companies had to use other incentives to lure people to jobs. A lot of jobs started providing health insurance and the industry got huge. Now we can't even find out how much stuff costs, doctors don't know...

    Proposed Increase In Legal Age For Buying Tobacco Products

    I for one am glad, our country needs more laws, the more than 40,000 created in 2012 alone did not go far enough.

    Senate to Vote on Internet Tax

    The government wants its tax even if you don't live here, even if you don't use their services. They want to pay billions and billions and billions to bomb the world, because pissing off people and killing their friends and family is how we stay safe from terrorism..... The state's want their...

    Do It Yourself Tobacco Press?

    lets see if i can get this image to show up. The cake was in the ghetto press for about 12 hours and i pulled it out. It is one cohesive cake and in the center its even a little glossy. The press is very small and i would like to keep pressing more of the batch of tobacco I mixed up, so my...

    Do It Yourself Tobacco Press?

    I bent the C clamp a little bit with the 24" so I'm going to say for this press of mine that is the limit. Once I get everything unpacked from my move I'll use my shop press to give this crumble cake thing the good old "I sorta went to college but bought a bunch of tools instead" try @tjameson...

    Do It Yourself Tobacco Press?

    I just made a small press made with a tin and a C clamp. I took the pressure off after 3 hours and had a look. I decided it needed more pressure so I put it back in and this time used a "big" pipe wrench (26", I thought the 48" would be overkill) I'll take a look tomorrow after work and see...

    Do It Yourself Tobacco Press?

    I once tried to make Apple cider using my truck as weight, I learned cars are not as heavy as one would think, at least not able to put as much force as a heavy duty screw jack. But it's probably more than a C clamp and people have had success with that. I'd love to see what your flake or...

    Sealing Ball Jars

    The sealing compound on ball jars is heat activated and soft, so if you tighten it down it will compress slowly then need another turn or so to get real tight again, you can speed it up by putting your clothes iron on "cotton" and putting it on the lid with the ring and get them pretty hot (but...
