Granger.

[bullet08]

Been trying out OTC blends for awhile. I do like and enjoy Half & Half, CH, and SWR. They were all from pouches. Granger only comes in tub. 12 oz huge tub. So I got the tub. It's not bad, but I'm keep running into issues. First smoke was great. Didn't dry or anything. Second smoke was kept being interrupted due to number of hard objects in the mixture. Had third bowl today. It was steaming hot. I normally dry my tobacco to right before crisp. But I don't do that with OTC since that will take days.

So, what's the secret to having a good bowl of Granger?

I have had almost a full tub sitting around for the past few years. Its not bad, but I also find it sometimes tedious to smoke.

It's a tasty mouthful of red wasps.. It's really pretty good stuff, BROBS sent me a bag a while back. I dry it under a fan for a day or two before I smoke it. That cuts down on the tongue burn.

Granger is such a cool name. Sounds like something to do with the military, or a type of scout or something. Someone who would be very careful building a campfire. I would talk about the taste, but Ashdigger has promised to eviscerate anyone who speaks ill of this blend.

Take it real slow. Sip. My dad smoked this all day for about fifty years, always from a pouch. Granger refers to those who farm. Oddly, it happens to be the name of my wife's crossroads rural town in NE Missouri up near the Iowa line and the Mississippi River. She has an ancient metal tub (empty) that she likes for decor. That pointer dog is about the ultimate tin art. You probably know the flavoring is molasses, though it is often classified as a non-aromatic, incorrectly.

Agreed on the cob, a lot of the otc blends just work well in a cob.

Granger. Gravity fill into a large cob. Light touch pack. Slow cadence. Awesome smoke.

It's pretty good if you wear a rubber on your tongue. Safe Smoking!

I recently popped a huge jar I found in my cellar.

It's the first time I've tried it. I'm enjoying it after an insane drying period. It's not a bite thing but a gurgle thing for me.

Slow and easy seems to produce a nice experience.


I like posting images to get @ashdigger cursing at me...

As the final authority and human with the outright immutable knowledge of GRANGER, let me help the unwashed and uneducated masses so that they can partake in the succulent and most excellent Granger.

It needs to be smoked like a fine, and this is where it gets complicated, Oriental OR VaBur, it needs to be dry, but not too dry, it needs to be moist, but not too moist. Think of the perfect amount of bounce and packing "sponginess".

Don't abuse it with heat, but gently tickle the glorious leaf with the initial light, then one light tap, not two you unwashed heathen.

Then sit back and bask in the glow of absolute perfection that is akin to hanging out with Raquel Welch, not Rosie O'Donnell.

Yupe. Now I have few MM cobs. Still smoke Peterson exclusively, other than MM on occasions.

This co-worker and I used to joke about 'Nam. He was a vet with purple heart. Used to say "what are they gonna do. Send us to Nam." Was good laugh until found out they can do worse. Lay our asses off from work x)

Talking about R. Welch, I keep getting Sunkist soda pop note from Granger.
