Strang. What....

"A man'll do a helluva lot for a lil' free poontang!" -- John Henry Holliday
If Doc Holliday was alive today he would probably correct his statement to include Strang tobacco.

That puts a new spin on heavily cased. Seriously though Max, if you don't like it, sell it or trade it to me.

This is why I try to smoke several bowls of a tobacco before reviewing it. On that note, there are some that I will never review because after the first bowl, I just can't bring myself to try it again. But, Strang was one that I couldn't get enough of after trying it.

I enjoy rope tobaccos, but I gave up on them. Because of the way they are blended and the hot pressing, they are still fairly moist 6, 7 months down the road and are too much of a bitch for me to smoke. I scorch my tongue every time because of multiple relights and harder puffing to keep lit.

Wouldn't cutting and rubbing out, then time in open air (if it's not a high humidity day) or a few seconds in the microwave cure this drawback?

If not the whole tin or 2oz sample... my preferred method. Get to really know the tobacco under a variety of conditions, and the multiple angles afforded there allows for greater knowledge.

My first reaction to C&D's Briar Fox was repulsion. Now, I love the stuff. However, there are tobaccos that I just can't bring myself to ever load another bowl after the first try. Lakelands come to mind.

Although I wouldn´t mind a little poontang aroma in my tobaccos Herbert Motzeks Strang is not for me. The Perique and VA bite me every time and I can´t keep that bugger lit. :roll:

From now on, everyone who likes Strang should buy one of these pipes:

Goes really well with my nipple pipe tamper.

Nipple tamper?
