[QUOTE="Richard Burley, post: 189280, member: 1690"] I'm really stretching here, but I seem to remember reading a long time ago that cigarette tobacco sometimes has ammonia added to it to boost the nicotine hit. Cigarette smokers wouldn't know the difference. (I also vaguely remember reading somewhere that dry snuff is sometimes added to pipe tobacco [the Lakeland types] for the same reason.) Take my musings for what they're worth--essentially nothing. But it does seem insane that a pipe tobacco producer would add something that reeks like ammonia to a blend. Of all the scents I have detected in tobacco, real or imagined, that one has so far eluded me. What you need is a chemist, and I fled from the field after high school, never to return--a tremendous loss to civilization. Let us know how you make out, if you live to tell the story. [/QUOTE]
