Actually the question is what do you do with tobacco that you really don't like?Â
I have 2 that I know I'll never smoke and I don't know any pipe smokers.
Any ideas?
That’s actually a great question that I’ve been asking myself for years. I can’t say that I have much tobacco that I truly dislike, aside from a pouch of Half and Half, which I have concluded is 1/2 tobacco and 1/2 burning polystyrene. Then there’s the Wilke Peanut Butter, but I’m getting off track. I do however have a fair amount of tobacco that isn’t bad, but I will never smoke it. I did give some away on another forum that allowed private messaging and will probably do that here if such a feature is added in the future. But otherwise unfortunately I don’t know anyone locally who smokes a pipe.Â
There is another thing to consider related to how long a person has been smoking. That is that generally our tastes change with more smoking experience, often drastically. I would always encourage people to jar a tobacco they don’t like today and revisit it in six months or even a year if they have been smoking for less than a few years. I’m not saying that is the case with the ones you have that you don’t like, but I point this out for the benefit of newer smokers. The other side to this is that tobacco can change after some time in a jar, often but not always for the better. I had this experience not long ago with War Horse Bar. On paper, it sounded fantastic to my tastes, but when I popped a tin, I was not impressed. I put it in a jar and forgot about it for almost a year. When I ran across the jar again and gave it another shot I really enjoyed it. It had smoothed out tremendously and was noticeably different than straight out of the tin. In fact now I’m thinking about getting a bowl of it going.Â
