Hey all, I’m Joos Box. I’ve been blending pipe tobacco for roughly a year using pre made components and I sorta fell into it because everything was disappearing. So I started putting together a recipe book of stuff, with notes and processes.
Lead me here a bunch of times to lurk but right now I’m on the hunt for corn cobs (or corn seed) that’s thick enough to make corn cob pipes with for funsies.
Recipe book and processes are a long way from being done, I’ve had a handful of discord friends try out my blends, and this year I started growing yenidje because you just simply can’t get it otherwise.
I had plans to try to make an old Sobranie style cigarette.
I’m learning to work with whole leaf, and trying to figure out preservatives other than just plain moisture control. Since I’d like to try aging/fermenting whole leaf and pre-shredded pipe tobacco seems to be cased with a mighty powerful anti-mold. At one point I tried to induce mold growth with heat and moisture and nada. Kind of impressive.
Anyway I digress. Hello.
