Interesting experiment, but I'm surprised it was smokeable at all. Coffee beans have some oil in them, and burning oil is nasty.Quote:

Been a rough week for me.Clearing out and loading 20 years of junk for my BIL and sister.
Digging into a pile that was six feet tall and at least fifteen deep.Found thing that no man
should ever see let alone keep for that long.I swear I expected to find D.B. Cooper.
Anywho,the week end is here and I started off with Old Companion in a Friar straight billard
with a silver band.I've got a project coming up that isn't a straight up pipe thing,But,I've got
plans to make it one.
Now smoking STCoP Dobie’s Four Square Virginia in a 2014 Savinelli Gaius smooth brown slight bend black acrylic stem and ferrule 320KS author. Watching Never Say Never Again.

My wife has a half brother like that in OKC. He buys new clothes rather than washing the others. Piles of friggin' clothes and crap stacked to the ceiling. He has 2 degrees so he's not stupid, but I have no idea where his mind is. He used to drive over and stay with us, but he was harder than a bad girlfriend to get rid of. He had plenty of money. I finally had to put my foot down and tell my wife that he wasn't welcome anymore. Just a strange cat that gave me the creeps....Quote:

Here's a description of the process:Quote:

And the components of this flake were: mostly cigar scraps, some cigar cavendish, imzur, latakia, Tobias' Surprise, and 2 leaves of Dark Fire. Cased w/ DW only.
Tobias' Surprise is a whisky/VA/cavendish blend that our friend @Tobias Lutz concocted a couple of years ago. It's pretty good by itself, but I've found that it makes an excellent flavor component for my pressed flakes.
Just finished smoking 2006 McClelland Bayou Slices (Blakeney’s Best) in a 1984 three quarter bend medium brown Ascorti KS Business Dublin. Ice water and bergs is my evening drink on this very hot and extra humid day. Watching the Red Sox-Royals game. Vin Scully is on the XM at 10:10 EST.
Pretty sure it's the same stuff I sent you. Helps to dry it out. I actually had to put a dessicant pak in it overnight to get it down to the right RH. Very humid here in VA in the summer - tobacco doesn't "air dry," even indoors.Quote:
