1792, but having trouble focusing on it as I'm anxiously awaiting my wife's departure so I can get started working on what I hope will prove to be the greatest advance in smoking enjoyment and tobacco evaluation since the advent of the clay pipe...SEDRHGT*. Here's how it works:
1. Empty a small closet
2. Get some weather stripping and thoroughly seal the gaps around the closet door.
3. Go inside the closet and shut the door.
4. Light up and puff vigorously for 5-10 minutes.
5. Exit the closet, quickly shutting the door behind you.
6. Wait one hour.
7. Reënter the closet and, again, shut the door immediately.
8. Inhale and then exhale through your nose.
That's all there is to it! If my theory is correct, the nuances of the tobacco will reveal themselves as never before...an entirely new vocabulary may have to be developed to describe all the flavor and aroma notes. Assuming it works out as expected, I'll share the technique with the guy on SP with the moth-eaten mustache so he can bring his videos to a new level of sophistication. Wish me luck!
