I frequently zap wet tobacco in the microwave for 6 - 8 seconds to dry it out a little before smoking and have not noticed any loss of flavor. Todd

Thank you all.  :D  Todd

I'm really looking forward to this. Should be a good time. Todd

Let me just start out by saying that this tobacco is not for the faint of heart. If you're looking for a namby pamby aromatic that tastes like some fancy desert then just keep on going. This tobacco is for people who routinely brew their coffee with the addition of three rusty nails because...
