what should I try next? is this the ultimate form of tobacco? also pic is the best I've found yet. Copenhagen was my favorite at first but I started to hate it. Stoker's is my goto otherwise.

On topic of the thread, I mostly use snus nowadays. Every one in a while if I go to the fancy tobacco shop I'll get a few packs of Dunhills, either Red or Fine Cut Black. Used to like Nat Sherman's MCD before the brand got sold off and went to shit.

how hard is it do diy your tobacco? I'm not worried about growing but the rest. Like I think you have to ferment it and shit like green tea.

Depends on what you're going for. IIRC Virginia is one of the more difficult (outside of specialty stuff like perique or latakia), burley I think takes less processing, but yeah either way you need to cure and age it and other shit.

Yes you do ferment it. In Cuba they still do it the traditional way with pilons. These are left to sit in the open air with a roof over to to prevent the rain from ruining them. If the native Americans could do it with less tools you can do it. Just do some research.

you know, on ck we tend to look at things like this rather simply. like "dumbfuck secluded shepherds isolated in the mountains made bomb ass cheese without any tools, how hard can it be", but in my limited experience even something as simple as sauerkraut or yoghurt isn't all that simple as it seems. let alone fermenting tobacco. there's a reason green tea is considered an art in itself.

like imagine making your own beer from scratch. it's an insane process if you think about it and it involves much more skill than we give it credit for. imagine just malting your own barley. it's insane.

maybe you got lucky or were well informed but my first experiences were enough to make me think "huh, this is not as brain-dead as a process as people lead you to believe", like there's a reason some people are considered experts in cheesemaking and such and there cheeses are worth their weight in gold.

my first two experiences were a jar of pickles and one of chillies, both went very very wrong. and my most recent experiences were with lactic fermentation in milk (yoghurt, cheese), and I have a new-found respect for people who do this succesfully. especially using like oldschool methods with wood barrels and such. and I understand various types of fermentation, the importance ot sterilisation, etc so I didn't go completely clueless into it either

and also I don't know one single person who can make a decent sauerkraut (even tho in Romania it's a staple), cheese, yogurt, etc. So it's a pretty rare skill.

(Vegetables weight + water weight)*2.5% = salt weight. Dissolve the salt in water and add a fermentation weight to the jar to keep the vegetables from floating to the top. Leave sit in a closed jar for 7 days. Make sure to burp the jar.

My Father-in-Law smoked this stuff, so I think he was trying to get rid of me when he gave me a pouch to try. I usually smoke Prince Albert, and E.A. Carey's blends.

When I opened the pouch, the aroma took over the environment. My cat hissed and arched her back (they really can detect evil....). All the house plants died...even the plastic ones. The room note was classic peat bog.

As I took a deep breath and filled my pipe, it was squirming in my hand, trying to get away. I should've stopped right there. It lit easily, unfortunately. After my first puff, my whole life flashed in front of my eyes...it was very depressing.... Have you ever smelled the peat that nightcrawlers are in when you buy a carton of them at a bait store? That was what this tasted and smelled like, with a little burly thrown in for camouflage. I experienced major vertigo, so it was a good thing I was sitting down. After the second puff...just before I passed out, I had visions of guys in Environmental suits placing my pipe, and this tobacco in ziplock bags, and decontaminating the house.

Seriously, this is the absolute worst...whatever it is, I have ever tried to smoke. It really does taste like worm-dirt, with some cow-chips mixed in, and smells even worse. It is strong enough to floor a Water Buffalo. I really did have to throw the pipe away, carefully....I could never get the smell or taste out of my DIplomat, even after repeated cleanings with pipe sweetener.

I could only manage a few puffs of this before putting it out. I couldn't smoke it long enough to tell if it burned hot, or not.

You should have to have a license from the EPA to even sell this stuff. I would definitely advise anyone to avoid this 'blend' at all costs, unless you are on some kind of macho-trip, or really into self-mutilation. I smoke for pleasure, and I have nothing to prove.

Right. Everyone knows this. It's one of the reasons why Cuban cigars are famous around the world. This has changed in recent years, though.

Of course, the main reason Cuban cigars are known around the world is because everyone agrees they are the best cigars on the market.

Generally speaking it's pretty easy to actually smoke, I'd recommend a cheap jet lighter to light it and taking your time to smoke it. Ideally inside or somewhere where it's not windy since it's harder to get a good even burn going outside
