I Just ordered Whole Leaf Tobacco

[Huffen'Snuff]

It's Balkan Blend 1lb (6 different whole leafs, 2 casings, and a casing spray bottle.

I am looking forward big-time to getting this delivery, I got a 1pound brick of C&D Pirate Kake a while back, and I would honestly consider it a component.

Pirate Kake is listed as 75% Latakia, and it's very very strong, high quality as C&D is known for but realistically it's not something a regular person will smoke more than a bowl two a day, (even if your crazy, fanatical about Latakia like I was).

Anyways when I read the reviews about the Balkan Blend, the second review said that the reviewer had to buy Latakia to add to the blend, to make it whole. (This is when I decided I needed this blend), Latakia is the one thing I have to spare!

(1.)I am curious about what leafs are included, the description says there are 6 whole leaves, 2 casings, and a casing sprayer.

(2.)I also wonder how long shipping will take to get it about 40 miles east of Pittsburgh, Pa. Via UPS? Is it shipped from Ohio?

(3.) Do you have a good story or opinion regarding the Whole Leaf Tobacco products sold here?

(4.) I was wondering what it's like smoking a better cleaner tobacco product, that's not firstly designed to make the purchase of their products involuntary, or addictive. This is the first time I am buying "just tobacco meant for the smokers pleasure by the tobaccos quality and not the "ammonia treated free based Nicotines"

I've always considered C&D Pirate Kake as a final bowl of the day.

Set the casings aside, and just smoke the leaf.

Contact @FmGrowit about your making a pilgrimage to Akron. The aroma of the WLT warehouse is worth the drive. (Drive your F-150, so you'll have room to transport all the tobacco you will purchase.) You will find no finer tobacco anywhere. That is, WLT tobacco is selectively purchased from the same supply chain that feeds the premium factories.

Old Belt Farmers Co-op Tobacco Auction 15 OCT 2019

I had the privilege of accompanying Don at a tobacco auction in Rural Hall, North Carolina, today. The Old Belt Farmers Co-op tobacco auction is one of the few remaining in the country, and the northernmost flue-cured tobacco auction that I know of in the US. [Danville, Virginia exists only...

I recently bought the pipe blend kit, and have enjoyed shredding storing documenting experience and slowly blending. Turns out I don't mind pure pipe tobacco. All of the store options taste and smell like potpourri so I never went any further. Definitely a great purchase.

I'm surprised how good it is, considering I'm definitely a big fan of some Aro's. I wonder how much better for you it is without the added chemicals? It is still satisfying the cravings.

I'm exceptionally satisfied, also @deluxestogie , I am thinking about a pilgrimage to the brick and mortar location, I am pretty close.

I'm smoking a bowl of this blend right now, after a meal.

I kind of wanna check out cigars, I have had such a bad experience at that Cuban's store in Florida, I only ever smoked that one hand rolled cigar, and it was terrible. I think the owner of the store intentionally gave me something I wouldn't like, the dude was acting like such a snob. I should have never bought it.

WLT is a warehouse (a truly wonderful warehouse), rather than a retail store. Contact them (via WLT's website) about a date and time that would work for them.

I wished the Nicotine percentages were listed with the leaf, as I would like to make some nasal snuff with it. I wonder if you could buy sample sized quantities, being a beginner I just can't associate the scent with a particular leaf.

(There was an amazing leaf in the Balkan blend kit, but it wasn't labeled, it was thick chunks that were several leaves thick almost like they were pressed and dried becouse they were hard chunks, they smelled awesome tho, whatever it was.)

I would even like that stuff on its own, I wonder if it was turk/oriental it smelled great.

This blend just keeps getting better, I just shredded it all and combined it at the ratio it was sent, besides adding the pirate Kake, I mean. I separated a decent bag to smoke and the rest I bagged, wound it real tight in a couple bags, then I put bands of electrical tape around it to compress it a little more, and I labeled the date 7/10.

I found some of that stuff and separated it from the Balkan and when I smoked it, it tastes so unique that it must be an oriental/Turkish type of leaf, so I wonder what's in the Balkan. I need to grow some. I have a lot of research left to do.

So it's Bright, then Red Virginia's, then Oriental, of some type?, and then finally Latakia-which is also an Oriental.

Thankyou Knucklehead,
would you happen to have an old Harley? I always thought the knuckle head Harley was the holy grail of cool, becouse there is no faking it, you've got to know how to wrench on it, to ride ONE further than the local watering hole. Atleast in theory anyways.

I don't think I'm cool enough to breakdown on one in the middle of nowhere without a safety net. I get too overwhelmed with break downs to break it down into steps for the process of elimination, and it's not like you can just camp out in the back seat.

I have an Evo sporty tho, she takes a licking and keeps on ticking enough for me.

Im going to do some oriental research, maybe I can use it to proof down the Nasal snuff that's too hot with Nicotine to use. I made a batch of nasal snuff once from 5 Brothers pipe tobacco that was too hot to use after I alkalized it. That oriental smells so good, it will make good additions too my snuff.

No Harley but I like them and old Indians and the old English bikes. I only had one motorcycle and it was a Honda dirt bike in the 70's. My buddy had an old Husqvarna and we used to spend a lot of time riding logging roads.

I had a triumph once, when I used to live in a trailer when I was 18, I did burnouts in the kitchen, I don't know what made more smoke the tire or the 72 Daytona motor. I also kept a Suzuki RM250 in my kitchen, cause there was only three steps to get in the front door. It was hard getting the triumph inside becouse it was a low hard tail when I got it off my dad

I beat my body up so bad, that I don't do crazy no more. I get around like I'm 15 years older than I am. I broke bones riding trails on 2 stroke motorcross bikes, bruised a kidney or some organ the doc said, all I know is I urinated blood for two weeks and the muffler burned me in the middle of my own back, there was a tire track over my helmet that time. That was 1995-96 and I still hurt sometimes. No more crazy, or wrecking for me, I'm so lucky that I still hurt.

 

[Huffen'Snuff]

I need a shredder my right thumb still hurts and is cracking/popping from using those herb scissors, anything would be an improvement.

I don't even use a shredder anymore. I have a powermatic electric and a couple heavy duty manual. I use this instead:

Last nights (predicted) low was supposed to be 37F and the same tonight. Too close for comfort so the plants are sleeping indoors last night and tonight. After tonight it looks like I'm clear to put them outside in a permanent location. No sun at the back of the truck so these had their own...
