Seandoo Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 Please pardon the name but I figured it would grab attention and was kinda funny since I was going to ask about stems in the ma'assel. Just wondering since I was flipping through some reviews and came across people who pick out the stems...do they make everything taste bad? Do they add to the flavor? Or are they just there for your entertainment? Just wondering =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alen Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 myself is allways picking out all the crap out of any tobacco and just smoke the best leafs i even try to roll up these little nice nuggets of tobacco that you find- but as mr b says its like soupbones they keep the tobacco moist and nice in the pack but i always go thru my tobacco on a little plate with my fingers and pic them out -mmmm finger licking good its a little messy but that keeps you knowing that you only smoke the best of the best (save the crap to youre enemies)-just kidding Alen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cypress Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 I just get a good ma'assel that does not have tons of stem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yashman19 Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 They definately won't hurt your smoke, but yeah like most people I tend to pick the larger stems out of my ma'assel. It depends though, if they are small little stems, say 1/2" to an inch, I don't mind leaving them in, but every once in a while I'll get a big whopper thats like 3" long. I just toss these as they won't even fit in my bowl. I don't think they enhance any flavor, and won't give you a sort of woody taste (if thats what you're looking for), but I don't believe they will effect your smoke in a negative way.

cypress Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 I probably depends on where they get their tobacco leaves from. Maybe they dont get it from the same grower every time. Maybe the pickers get lazy some times. Who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Deere Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 If I had to pick tobacco all day, I would probably get lazy too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alen Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 youre absolutely right there cypress you can never expect same quality all the time - sometime your lucky sometime your aint -i just hope that next batch of nakhla d-apple is as good as the one i bought some weeks ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seandoo Posted June 30, 2005 Author Share Posted June 30, 2005 So most people pick them out when they find them, though there's no negative effect in leaving them in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
