The Pipe Tobacco I Just Received Smells Strongly like Tobacco

[puff_not_snuff]

I just received 8oz of pipe tobacco which I ordered recently and even before opening the bag I could smell a strong odor of tobacco. Is it safe to smoke?

Yes, it is pipe tobacco. When I opened the box the smell of tobacco was very strong. I could only smell tobacco.

Did you not order tobacco?

I did order pipe tobacco. I was surprised that the smell was so pungent. Very tobacco like.

It must have been shipped in the wrong bag.

It must have been shipped in the wrong bag.

Could also be the box too? Maybe it was reused.

Not sure if joking (but thinking you're joking). If not, yes, it's safe to smoke (or maybe it's not).

There’s no reason to think it wouldn’t be ok. Depending on packaging the the environment it was it it’s common to have tobacco scent.

Bulk tobacco will almost always have some tobacco odor. Vacuum sealed packages don’t usually have much but there’s a chance that it’s environmental, especially if it’s coming from a smoke shop vs warehouse.

Are people still airing their tobacco in a jar of rice to absorb some of the odor?

Use a candle warming tray to dissipate the scent.

Use a candle warming tray to dissipate the scent.

Why would we do this?

Use a candle warming tray to dissipate the scent.

Ok, I assume I should use unscented beeswax candles?

Is it to keep the scent out of the room that you would do this?

Well, a draft could possibly contaminate the tobacco if using a scented candle when trying to dissipate the tobacco scent.
