They are actually very versatile when you get the hang of it.

I would say +3 at this point. Seems that system is used by all 3 responses to the question.

Im starting to learn that dry tobacco seems to give a better experience smoking wise. Im down to two bowls left of my Haddos tin and its giving up its best near the end of the tin. Thats after about a month or so of drying out ,I guess it seems a lot dryer than when I first opened it. All my fresh tins are relatively moist in comparison are giving me most of the trouble. Some are worse than others to be sure. The flake I have is weird its gummy moist but burns real hot for some reason. In any case im going to dry out some of my wetter stock and see where it leads me.

I too have had a lot of issues finding that sweet spot. A lot of trial and Erie and tongue bit later I'm usually good 4 out of 5 bowls. I error on the dry side because too wet causes me issues. I try to leave out enough for a bowl and keep coming back to it every 15 minutes or so, once I have the timing down it helps with how far in advance I need to plan given a specific tin. Though I have been known to speed dry a bowl out over the stove with a paper plate be cause of my impatience.

Spring and fall are the easiest time for me with tobacco, at least where I live. Stays too moist in the summer and dries out too fast in the winter.

A Castello Collection Fiammata with Haunted Bookshop for the upcoming holiday.

Thats the shop we went to isn't it? I still have that bottle of Port. We were going to have it at the salt flats but it got rained out.This year I brought it along but the flats got rained out again. My wife and I were going to bring it up north on a vacation but she got sick so we cancelled the vacation. I have been saving it for a special occasion but am startin to wonder if it isn't jinxed....

Take Steph's word for it it is a nice shop. I will stop there again next time I am in Denver.

Hopefully Steph wil be there also!
