What are you smoking now? (PIPES)

[mrcigar]

I'm waiting on Glynn to get back to me and then I will come up with something.

Even if nothing comes from that we can perhaps do a monthly bulk buy of a certain blend and create a thread for our thoughts?

Sounds interesting. How does it work? Who buys the bulk; who divvies it up; what commitment is required from buyers; how is commitment assured?
I might be in depending on the logistics.

That will be Mac Baren Virginia.

so is the idea to be able to light it them smoke the whole bowl? I have managed to not get tongue burn for the first time by taking really light puffs, but then it starts to go out so i tap it leave for a few minutes then light again

I think very few people could achieve a one-light bowl. The thing with such an endeavour is it over shadows the smoking pleasure. Go with the relights and they will naturally become less over time.
Key relight causes include tobacco being too damp; packed too tightly; infrequent tamping; tamping too hard; drawing too hard.

ah so the tamping is not supposed to put it out?

[mrcigar]

No, tamping connects the I ignited tobacco with that which is burning. The term 'tamping' is really not the best word because it carries with it a meaning of compressing like tamping down turf. The tamping of tobacco is more of a touching to bring burning and non-burning strands into contact.

Not sure yet, open to suggestions pending Glynn getting back to me. Obviously best to see what he comes back to me with. He has suggested the possibility of a discount code or bulk buying discount but has not clarified which is likely yet.

[mrcigar]

Yes, I think the discount code idea may work best or else it may mean a third party has to distribute without a license, which may present a problem.

I don't mean drawing as in pen and paper, I mean drawing as in smoking. Tamp whilst smoking or else the light will go out.

Yes, I've trimmed it a bit since. It was becoming a bit too wild. Wish I'd left it now, though.
