    I am going to have to toss this stuff as much as I hate to. I've had some sitting out for two days and it still bites, no matter how slow I smoke it. What are some alternative uses for tobacco that is unsmokeable?

    If it smells nice, fill a little sachet and hang it under the dash of your truck. I knew a guy who always did that with Captain Black - smelled wonderful in there.
    Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

    I just received a sample of the My Mixture #28,000 from Matt (@Lostmason).

    It looks like 1Q, was properly moist and soft in the plastic bag and it wasn't broken much if at all.

    The aroma was gone and replaced by a smell that I recognized immediately as acetone. Don't smoke this, nor blend with it, it's effectively a 1Q and paint thinner. It has to be tossed.

    This was an alcohol based aromatic and when it oxidizes it becomes acetone. I had to wash my hands several times to remove the smell.

    Tab (@Haebar) you might want to call the people who auctioned this stuff and even the store, and let them know what they sold. You might not get your money back but you'll at least alert them so that they don't do this again. Not healthy.

    Wish I had better news.

    Regards,

    Pete

    I sent an email to Uptown's Tobacconist shop in Nashville about the My Mixture 28,000 issue on Tuesday night. Haven't heard back from them yet. They had contributed the tobacco for the silent auction.

    I'm sure gonna try,It does have a bite.it's kind of strange though.Usually,when I get tongue bite it is right up the center of my tongue.Where the steam rolls.This though is thru out the mouth , like eating chili's.Seems to have a strong peppery taste,at least that is what my brain is saying.I tried cutting it with a burley blend at 50/50 but it's still got quite a lot of bite to it.I'll try and bigger difference say 75/25 to see if that does the trick.
