Ok...I'm hoping this post will serve 2 purposes. First as a question and second as a warning of sorts.
Question - have any of you experienced smelling a very ammonia -like smell when burning a particular tobacco? I was smoking a bowl of Brebbia Balkan today and with about a quarter of it left, I smelled ammonia! I was sniffing the air on the porch because I knew what I smelled but didn't think it could possibly be coming from my pipe. When I took my next puff I smelled it again...it wasn't lingering but I SWEAR I smelled.it. Has anyone ever experienced this?
Warning-As the one person on BoB that might have recently recommended this toby, and if you might have taken my advice, I apologize if you have a bad experience with this stuff. Honestly, my first couple of bowls of this stuff were good but I've wrestled with it ever since. It's been bitey and I've not found an optimal drying time for it either...just a real challenge.
Anyway, I'm gonna keep trying but I'm not really feeling it anymore. Danggit!
