[QUOTE="DrumsAndBeer, post: 352441, member: 2403"] Every now and then when I am smoking a pipe, I'll get a subtle hint of an ammonia like scent wafting from the bowl. I tend to notice it a bit more when I clench and practice breathing with the pipe, I also notice it more with blends that have a fair amount of Turkish in them and with certain lat mixtures. I really noticed it smoking the newer Orlik version of EMP. I don't particularly dislike the aroma, it reminds me of the scent some greener cigars have, I also notice it in certain snuffs, and I know there's a tremendous amount of ammonia created as a byproduct of the curing process. But I was under the impression that when cured correctly the scent should be fully rendered from the leaf. Anyone else ever experience this or am I crazy? I rest my pipes well, and I typically dry my tobacco a bit before smoking. Anyway, just thinking aloud at this point.... [/QUOTE]
