[QUOTE="RSteve, post: 556280, member: 164"] [SIZE=5]In tobacco lore Tambolaka is, indeed, age cured in the rafters of growers' huts for 5 or more years. It is a version of burley with a very high nicotine content. As did Blackhorse, I also purchased a few "sticks" when, for a while Tambolaka became somewhat popular as a novelty tobacco, somewhat like Andullo recently. When I opened the ziplock containing the Tambolaka, I could hardly believe the odor. To say it stunk would be an understatement. But, I was courageous and rubbed out a bit to smoke. It wasn't bad, much to my surprise. But it wasn't a tobacco for which I'd want a second helping. The most off-putting characteristic of Tambolaka for me was the inordinately high nicotine content and if hydrated a bit beyond how I received it, excessive tongue burn. The sticks of tobacco are very dry and if you rub too much, you get a lot of powder. Kudos to Blackhorse for reminding me of that scorching tongue experience.[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
