A .99 cent hose clamp would probably work and would look cool as well. Natch might be able to use one in his vasectomy work too. :)

Thanks for the link, DeepBass. Any idea how much tobacco each size will hold? Kim

:lol: :lol: :lol:

succint :lol:

I might give that a try. Can you suggest a good bulk burley? Kim

I've only been buying pipe tobacco for a couple of months now so don't remember prices much less than the $50/lb mark. However, as an ex cigarette smoker used to paying over $6/pack and smoking a pack a day, $5 for an ounce of tobacco that will last me at least 11 days is a real bargain. Kim

Yea Kevin, I'm pretty happy with this mixture. I'm not a big fan of perique at this point but that could change. I've got two dozen Mason jars so I'm all set to do some minor hoarding. Kim

While searching the forums for VA recommendations I ran across an old post from either PuffDaddy or Richard Burley (I think).

I really like this flake when I can coax some flavor out of it. I'm still trying to improve my smoking technique and think this will be a great flake for me once I learn how to smoke it. Kim

Since we're on the subject of catsup, I thought I'd share a little experiment I conducted this morning. I know that I smell and taste catsup with Black Woods Flake and I assumed that most people would smell and taste the same thing if only they would admit it! :lol: After I re-opened my tin of...

Now that's just plain funny!

As promised, I'm back with a report on my experiences with my first tin of CF (Catsup Flake). :P I rubbed out another bowl of Black Woods and let it dry on a piece of printer paper for about thirty minutes. This seems to have made a big difference since I was able to taste some really nice VA...
