Looks good! How much does the Tobias Surprise go for?

Actually the entire brick of Tobias Surprise is on its way to Tobias right now, but don't tell him! He earned it - he's sent me bales of raw materials!

I will step up and take one for the team and try out the rope. ( just to make sure its safe, of course).

Trying some of the poop-bacco right now. It's way premature as it is not settled into the right moisture level (way too wet still) and these twists need quite a bit of "rest" to develop their flavors. But how can you look at that thing and not think, I've got to slice off a hunk of that and smoke it right now???

Flavor's not too bad as it is; pretty much like unadorned tobacco at this point, and quite strong/spicy. & a little tough to keep lit.

It makes pretty good chew, in case the orderlies don't allow you to have matches. Just had some while shoveling out from the DC blizzard - nice brown spit stains on the virgin white snow
