The Value of Handling Tobacco?

[tolstoyevsky]

So…. Do we agree… clean hands mixing tobacco is what?... a good thing?

Disinfecting hands before mixing tobacco - or any other type of "cooking" - is like sealing your lips in plastic before kissing. It misses the point entirely and robs you of far too much pleasure.

btw My first job was in oncology. Not that any of them were immunocompromised or anything. Of course, I never shared tobacco with them, either.

I hope you haven't prepared meals for others with that philosophy.

There is no other way to prepare meals for those close to you. It would be insulting.

Is it just me? Or shit about to Get Real?

Hold on… Let me get some Popped-Corn!

I couldn’t agree more. This is why America has so many children with fuc&ing allergies.

 

[Richmond B. Funkenhouser]

I wonder what does cause all those allergies?

What's causing the 1000% increase in heart attacks?

Wondering about stuff like that will surely get this strange thread shut down.

NIH study finds protection lasts no matter how often kids eat peanut in later childhood.

<< Snipped bits out >>

Ok, a bit of pedantry: "Not if the plastic is thin enough, of the right material, and body temperature.

And no one disinfects his hands before anything. A good washing, clean towel, etc. does the trick."

This guy?

He looks more like a Florida man

Brought to you be the same folks that brought you……..well, you know.

not to say I don’t wholeheartedly agree with the George Carlin view of why people have become “soft”.

Gentleman,
Cigars rolled on the inner thigh of a Dominican Princess does indeed suggest pheromones might affect the taste?

The question presupposes that these maidens are adding something to the finished product.

And not one of us has had the decency to answer this intriguing question.

Boys, this here is the strangest post I’ve ever experienced and I just wanna thank ya’ll

If the rollers are adding any human cells to the cigars I sure don't want to know about it.

A lot of those ladies rolling the cigars aren't very good looking.... Many of them are dudes.

I wish they'd wear gloves.

I spent several years in the food industry working my way through college. Alcohol or an iodine wash was mandatory hourly. I still use alcohol after washing my hands just out of habit now even 30+ years later.

My comment stands.

Off we go into bizarro town...

You figure there's a value to handling tobacco?

I want whatever you're smoking.
