    Nicotine Delivery - cigar vs pipe

    I smoke about the same as you. I generally do a French inhale when smoking anything. It dilutes the intensity of the smoke, as I am not an inhaler. But I do find I can comfortably inhale pipes far more than any other form of tobacco. What spurred my thought process in the original question was...

    Nicotine Delivery - cigar vs pipe

    I've never smoked cigar leaf in a pipe until a few days ago.

    Nicotine Delivery - cigar vs pipe

    I've been wondering... Does nicotine delivery become more efficient with pipe smoking vs cigar smoking? There seems to be a lot of waste with cigar smoking... For instance, I could smoke a cigar for an hour... Or I could cut that same cigar up and smoke it in a pipe for HOURSSSS.

    Not always. If you are purchasing whole leaves you can get them mostly uncased.

    Balance Rating

    Most of what I'm quantifying are pure tobaccos with minimal additives.

    Balance Rating

    pH does not affect nicotine content, however, it seems to affect the nicotine absorption and/or makes the absorption, however little there is, more noticeable. Think of it like a mixed alcoholic drink that is sweet tends to hide from the consumer the amount of alcohol they are actually...

    Balance Rating

    I guess it would help if we stick with Balkan blends to alleviate the variable of additives to tobaccos. That is kind of where I'm primarily focused with my initial blends. So, think of these tobaccos as is without it working alongside other tobaccos. The blend that is "perfectly balanced"...

    Balance Rating

    I understand, and I agree this may be an over generalization of each class of tobacco... But I'm looking at it from 30,000 feet in the air... Generally, I think of each tobacco class this way: For none processed types: the more it is curred via natural processes, the higher the pH and lower...

    Balance Rating

    If you have anything to offer, just do your best. Each class of tobacco can be quantified to a certain point. And as I said, yes there are nuances, but generally speaking, the average of each class can be quantified.

    Balance Rating

    I'm trying to classify the following tobaccos into a "balance rating" system that I can use to guestimate the balance of a blend between "sweet" and "nicotine rich" where "0" would represent perfectly balanced between the two. Anyone want to offer their take on this? I'm no expert in this arena...

    Tobacco Dust - Uses

    So, I've been considering using my collection of tobacco dust to create snus/dip. I have no idea how to do this, but also don't care to do a deep dive into it. I'm wondering if anyone has a quick way of creating extremely small batches of "dip" out of this dust just for some secondary...

    Alternatives to Whiskey & Pipe

    Or ice cold Texas Tea with mint and lemon - mildly sweet, not syrupy sweet.

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

    Alternatives to Whiskey & Pipe

    Welp, nothing new that hasn't already been said... But I smoke about once or twice a week and usually enjoy water, coffee, or tea with it. If I'm going to drink, I really enjoy my infinity bottle of rum after I smoke. Rum brings out the lovely flavors of the smoke... Or is it the other way...
