A relight almost every minute! I'd try drying that same tobacco much, much more.
Good luck!

Good luck!
Yep, ive tried Balkan Supreme, Father dempsey, and tonight I'll try Quiet Nights. Tried 2 hours for dempsey, 12 hours for balkan, and now I'll try 24 hrs for quiet nights. Curious, do you have an opinion on Grabow stingers? It's a small bowl and I'm just trying everything. I'd like to pull out the stinger. You can see my other post to see pictures (my introduction thread)
Only experience with stingers is removing them, but not on a Grabow.
What's the RH in your house?

In my house, not sure. I would guess low. I'm in Victoria, BC, not particularly humid climate. Right now it's about 50%.
I think I will remove it. I don't see what purpose it's serving, and the consensus on a previous thread on this site was to remove them.

Presto. Removing the stinger was the key. Down to a relight every 10-15 minutes. My first enjoyable smoke. Cheers.
I find eating salty foods def have an affect on bite, all negative and it makes sense when you think about it as salt in a tongue supercharger.
Hmmm, looks like this is a half truth:
Chronic Oral Capsaicin Exposure During Development Leads to Adult Rats with Reduced Taste Bud Volumes - PMC
Cross-sensory interaction between gustatory and trigeminal nerves occurs in the anterior tongue. Surgical manipulations have demonstrated that the strength of this relationship varies across development. Capsaicin is a neurotoxin that affects fibers ...

Reductions in taste bud volume occurred 50 days, but not 2 days post-treatment for rats treated as neonates. Adult rats at either time post-treatment were unaffected."
So there is actually some logic to not giving kids spicy food (at least not daily).
Which is funny when kids naturally hate hot peppers so much.
You learn something new every day:
"The use of ethanol as a capsaicin solvent is standard across both animal and human literature (e.g., Silver et al., 1985; Pellicer et al., 1990; McBurney et al., 1997) as capsaicin powder is water insoluble."
Put alcohol in your chili and it will be extra spicy!
Yep, I haven't been able to eat spicy foods my entire life. I can even pick out a tiny bit of black pepper in a dish.Hmmm, looks like this is a half truth:
