Lazy man's alternative to ropes?

[Haebar]

I like the body and strength of a good rope tobacco, like the Gawith & Hoggarth Black Irish X that @OnePyroTec sent me, but I'm not crazy about cutting it up into pieces small enough to smoke in my pipe. It seems I can't get it right; when I cut it by hand, the pieces are too big and are hard to keep lit. When I used the coffee grinder, it divided it a little too finely. Does Gawith & Hoggarth make a ready-rubbed tobacco that has the same or similar strength as that of their ropes?

Try some of G&Hs Shag cuts.

Kendal Dark, Kendal Kentucky and Dark birds eye ( Favorite) are stout but easy/ no hassle baccies.
but in all honestly rope is always a meaner beast then the Ready rubbed/shag stuff.

Have you tried the Beloved/feared Tambolaka?

Do you like strong stout Jungle weed?

Do you like to have weird ass dreams?

Then you must try the Tambo. Pretty wild story on how and where its made.

Pretty much all i smoke when i have a bowl. ( Tambo and Various Ropes)
Let me check my supply of it and if i can I will send you some. I think i have like 3 full mason jars of the stuff.

I'd never heard of Tambolaka, either (no surprise being a noob) - but it sounds exotic and interesting for sure (and scary-strong)! Tambolaka Natural Tobaccos - Tambolaka Pipe Tobacco - Tobacco Reviews
