ahmedabugh Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Hey guys,My Al Fakher tobacco has just arrived. I was so excited until I opened it. It was unusually dry.the 1 KG pucket was fine. There was no holes and I couldn't see any leaking. Looks like there was a problem with the packing. When I smoked it, it was fine but not really great. I heard there are things we can do to make dry tobacco smoke better but I never did that before.Did any one here face this before ? How did you fix it ?Thanks , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Fakher unfortunately tends to do that from time to time. The tobacco itself is fine. But it has less than usual molasses on it but which makes a little bit more harsh than usual.I've seen bad tobacco before and this shippment is difinitaly not one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jfaltous Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Maybe it just needs to be mixed up a little? Have you gone all the way down to the bottom of the bucket to see if the juices settled down there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuburbanSmoker Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 worse comes to worse you can always mix it with other tobaccos when you smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pingywon Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 I bought a 1Kilo of AF Mint about 2 months ago and it was fine......I found that even as I mixed it up ...the top was a lil dry (not enuff room to properly store in the tub)..I am now at the bottom of the tub and I have more juice then I know what to do with...... catch22 I suppose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good as new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrShisha Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 (edited) obviously if its been upright in a storage container then all the juices will settle at the bottom (wonders of gravity eh). Zip the bag up again and make sure its TIGHT. then put the lid of the tub back on and turn the whole tube upside down for a limited amount of time. so the juices travel through the whole tobacco once again. Then open it up get a big spoon and start mixing it...not circular motions but getting a spoonful from one site and placing it in another...im sure you get my jist.

Codename067 Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 People, you sometimes need to mix the entire tub before packing a bowl. Thats what I do at least. Never was AF dry for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
