Is it Me, or Is it the Tobacco?
I'd be curious how much of this change in flavor has as much to do with soil and farming practices and varieties of tobacco as it does curing techniques. Imagine the days when a farm wasn't just a large swatch of tobacco, but had a vegetable patch and cows and chickens. Adding these composts and...- growfood

Matches vs. Lighters
Hemp wick for me. I like the thick one from Bee Line Hemp Wick. I find it to burn cooler, if you want you can let the flame run a second for more flame. If I'm lighting the end or a shallow bowl I can get the wick down in there easy- growfood

Hemp wick

Hemp wick
Not sure the science behind it, but I find a cleaner taste when I use the wick over a lighter. Maybe the lower temperature of the flame. I also tend to fill half a pipe or less so it makes lighting deep into the bowl easier.- growfood
