What Do You Do About The Stems/sticks In The Tobacco?

[jakescakes]

The abundance of these sticks somehow irritates me when packing a bowl. So now I just pick them all out. Usually just smoke AF and I thought they had quite a bit, but got a few boxes of Layalina, and man there was like 3-4 bowls of sticks, huge long fat sticks everywhere!!!

do you all pick them out??

[Scoop]

leave them in, never really notice or care anymore (unless its bigger than the bowl...)

[srawas89]

Supposedly it tends to make the bowl too hot and the tobacco burn easier...I dont put stems in my bowl if there are large but if they are relatively small I leave them

[NickReppinThe909]

i just leave them unless they are too big they help with airflow in a non-phunnel bowl

[cheezerman]

I always pick the larger ones out, but I notice no difference when I do.

It's mostly just my OCD kicking in

[r1v3th3ad]

I payed for them, so I smoke them!

[ryno]

I'm like most others. Pick out the really really big ones, and leave the smaller ones in. Never tried chewing on one though.. anyone think thatd give a buzz?

would probably taste like ass i got a little layalina juice on my lip once opening the bag with my teeth and i wanted to throw up

Sometimes I put them in the bottom of the bowl, underneath the tobacco. They can sometimes help prevent the holes in the bowl from getting clogged.

Little stems don't bother me that much. If I see them I'll just pick them out and discard them, but I don't go looking for them. Got some Nakhla Chocomint and the stems were like toothpicks. That shit annoys me.

take out the large ones, throw them in a cup of hot water... shisha tea. j/k. I usually leave them in unless they are huge, then they are removed.

[baller5555]

well if they are really big like an inch or bigger i throw them out but anything smaller i leave them in.

[Gift3d]

I heard leaving stems in does make the tobacco easier to burn, but also give more of a buzz... I never had any problem with the burning, but anyone know if it does in fact increase the buzz?

[iamscott06]

I'v found some big ass stems in some SB, I throw those out. Keep the small ones

[Stuie]

Me too if the stick up or out in my phunnel i pull them otherwise I leave them in.

hahahah well said, i must agree unless there like HUGE just leave em in

[Texico]

I remember a topic about this sometime around december or january. Quite a few people say that they cut the stems into smaller pieces and then put them in. If I remember correctly JD does this. I think it's the best idea to do so. I personally don't because I don't have the time, but I smoke all of my stems and have never noticed a difference between bowls with stems and bowls without stems. So cut 'em up and smoke 'em. It's economical.

[ASUSEAN1]

save them and when u want to get super buzzed cut them up small pieces and mix it in with your baccy and enjoi

[ilikemyusername]

in a box of al amir i got the biggest stem i've ever seen, it was more like a log, or trunk! i swear to god this fucker was an inch and a half long and about as big around as a pen!

i tossed it
