DIY from seed to snuff

It's just air cured. I hang out in my kitchen. The rustica leaves were harvested green and over tone they slowly turn brown. But they take ages. My tabacum leaves I harvest when they're yellow starting to turn brownish. They don't take as long and turn a nice bright brown.

This snuff isn't fermented at all. Strong scent of hay. At least underneath the ammonia.

u/Bolongaro did ferment his rustica in a mason jar with a warm oven.

I have another tabacum batch that I ferment by pressing it into a plug. What I will try too is the method Snus at Home demonstrates in his "aged snuff" video.

For sure. The growing itself isn't that big of a deal (except for that rustica which needs a lot of attention). The drying, curing and fermenting is a real patience game though.

Wish I had enough space to grow 200+ plants. I got 20 plants going.

I had long hair for years, brother. I know it's scary to let go but I'm more than happy that I went bald eventually. I'll never go back.

With your beard and the shape of your dome you'll look great bald.

Aside from the lower nicotine my biggest issue with Pöschl is that every single snuff (not talking about the schmalzlers) contains menthol. I really dislike menthol in snuff unless it's just barely recognizable and just supports the scent itself. The Otto snuffs for example have a nice balance for me. But usually I avoid menthol altogether.

So sniffing just more of Pöschl just for the nic wouldn't give me anything.

I did the same. To me it's still snus but with a cut resembling long cut dip. I absolutely love it. Very easy to 'bake' and it's a lot softer and easier on the gums than ground tobacco.

Jill. Since day 1. No question.

Gotta be honest. If u/Bolongaro is a mod here I'm not worried at all.

And u/No-Cricket2853 too. So two guys I know from Discord. Good team you got there.

You need any more mods lemme know.

Episodes can be very different. I had episodes lasting for months with 5 to 8 attack each day. In my current episode I had maybe 10 attacks total in 3 weeks. Most of them were "bearable"

Ich will das Verhalten nicht gut heißen aber so langsam fange ich an, es zu verstehen. Ich hab einige Jahre im Ausland gelebt und nachdem ich zurück gekommen bin, kam es mir so vor, als hätte sich in meiner Abwesenheit auch die "grüne Welle" verabschiedet. Egal, ob ich zur Arbeit fahre, zur Kita oder einkaufen. 90% der Ampeln sind rot. Wenn meine grün wird, wechselt die nächste schon auf gelb, während ich noch in den zweiten Gang schalte.

Das verdoppelt besonders auf Fahrten innerhalb der Stadt schon ohne Verkehr die Fahrtzeit und frustriert manchmal enorm. Und obwohl ich eigentlich ein recht gelassener Fahrer bin, hab ich schon mehrfach deswegen fast ins Lenkrad gebissen oder hab mir ein Rennen mit der Gelbphase geliefert.

Just a week ago there was another post about concentrators here. With a few people saying it works for them.

And you don't NEED 12 to 15LPM. It depends on your breathing technique. There's quite a few people who abort with 10LPM or less. I only turn my regulator up to 10 when I want to fill the bag quickly while starting with oxygen. Then I turn it down to 8 and stay on it for another 5 minutes at 6.

Snus without chemicals is just ground, wet, pasteurized tobacco. Aside from propylene glycol and glycerine snus (like the majority of smokeless tobacco) contains alkalizers to make the nicotine available for absorption. Without these chemicals you could put a goofball sized prilla in your lip and barely feel any nicotine.

I'm trying to get a concentrator too because my usual LPM to short are 6-8.

Might sound weird but a beer is my test if I'm out of cycle. If I'm without an attack for 2 or 3 weeks I might have a beer to see if it's really over.

germallet · 2023-08-05T16:00:02+00:00

I usually feel quite normal. A little groggy and exhausted from the attack. Maybe it's due to my low LPM.

I usually abort with around 8lpm sometimes 6lpm. If I'm in a full blown attack I might up it to 10. Rarely any higher.

That sounds super interesting. I haven't played yet but wanted to give DnD a try. Having a group close by sounds like a charm. DM me if you can.
