I was thinking ammonia as well but when I smell of the pipe I detect no ammonia but I’m comparing that to store bought tobacco on the ammonia
I meant, does it smell of what each tobacco type is supposed to smell or they all smell the same?
No sir they all smell the same I couldn’t tell the va red from the burley or the va bright or the Paraguay they all smell the same
Weird, different varietals smell different to me so I don't know what to tell you. Maybe you have the beginning of a cold and your taste buds are affected? I don't know what to say.
Virginia lover you read my mind the only other thing I can think of is what you just said I must be getting sick an don’t know it yet wich is a little odd I usually know a week in advance if I’m going to get sick and have not been sick since 2016 but that’s the only thing I can think of sickness thanks for all of your help
? no definitely not some things may slip my mind but using a crusty old jar would not they are all new jars 1/2 gallon ball seal jars and 1/2 gallon screw type mason jars washed cleaned an dried the whole nine yards
I will report back with whatever I find to be causing this an yes it was from total leaf supply an some from whole leaf only
Probably this. You jarred them and they started sweating, so the fermentation process caused the release of ammonia. @cosmicfolklore may have an answer I think. And I agree with others, always use distilled water.
Arsenic is a floral-like aroma, and you probably wouldn’t be alive to post.
If it were an ammonia smell, I would agree with Javan. I’m not the most familiar with bought whole leaf. I’m not sure if it has been sweated before you got it or not, but sweating out the ammonia is essential for making tobacco less harsh on your throat when you smoke it.
If it were ammonia, I’d suggest leaving it jarred for longer, like maybe a few months.

Thanks for all the reply’s but there is no ammonia smell when you burn it or when you open the jar and smell it none at all unlike the store bought stuff.. it is a mix of French burley, va red, va bright and Paraguay double solid leaf.. sorry there is no Cameroon in it my mistake I made 1 jar with out the Paraguay tobacco and it to taste just like all the others so I’m sure it’s not the Paraguay tobacco
? I’m familiar with what arsenic is I just couldn’t find a better word to describe it it’s horrible but it was good a few days ago it leaves a big slug like feeling in your throat an your body starts pushing it up your throat rejecting it
