    Best Pipe for Aromatics

    Are your pipes "gurgling" while smoking? Do you hear the liquid building up? If so, you could dry your moist tobacco a little bit and try to smoke slower. You could also use a pipe- cleaner from time to time, to suck that liquids out. I don't think the pipe shape has something to do with it...

    Plug V Flake. Differences

    For what I have experienced, SG Plugs or Flakes are of the same blend of tobacco. I also see only one difference btw. the two. The fresh out of the tin flakes are more wet to my findings, so I have to dry them more than the plugs. But I also enyoy the more work I have with plugs. I have tried...

    Animals belonged to our family as members as long as I can think?. We allways were accompanied by 1-2 cats and most of the time by 2 dogs, the last 15 years by australian sheperd dogs, and also two horses. I wouldn't feel happy without them. They are our family members together with my wife and...

    Green Gold HU Tobacco For The Easy Aro Start ?

    Hi there, I would like to review and recomend a tobacco which I consider a very good starter tobacco for beginners who lean to the elegant and light aromatic side...

    FDA Wants To Regulate Nicotine Levels

    To be honest, I am not really surprised. This movement against tobacco in general is taking place all over the world. The decisions about forbitting tobacco are only slowed down by the grief of the governments about the taxes for tobacco. This is smoldering for about 25 years. In fact, it's all...
