Help With Stems?

[IainUM]

So I'm a relatively new member, but I've been smoking for a year or two and have my own hookah and all sorts of accessories.
I was hoping someone could tell me if there was anything to do with the stems from tobacco that I find? Should I throw them out, put them in my bowl, cut them up, or what? I seem to find a lot of stems (if I remember right) in my Al Fahkar and my Nahkla tobacco. any help would be appreciated.
I tried finding a previous thread about this on here but when searching all I came across were threads about the hookah stem.

If they are small i just stick them in, but if its a massive piece (and considering what you are smoking it probably is) i would just toss it out.

I do the same thing.

Pull out all the big ones, and leave the small/medium sized ones.

[RingsMaster]

i really dont mind the size unless its huge then ill take it out, smoke the rest of them though

[jeremyk]

if they dont overtake like half the bown then id just throw it in cause i know with nak i would get really tired of pulling out stems all the time since its filled with them

[Arcane]

do whatever you want...throw them out or cut them up and smoke them...

doesn't really make too much of a difference...

[Chreees]

For HUGE ones I throw those away. If they'll fit in the bowl, they go in the bowl.

[thatonethere]

I usually break them up and smoke them.

[dizzbizz]

I've heard of people collecting them and smoking them once they get enough for a bowl. I heard the stems have more nicotine than the leafs and pack quite a punch.

x2 although sometimes I do cut the big ones up and put them in.

[IainUM]

Yeah, I had heard from a friend that if you put the big stems in it, it has more nicotine, but I wasn't sure, hence why I asked

[ih303]

I generally stir them in to my morning Muesli for the added fiber.

[Caila]

I just throw the big ones out. I don't mind the stems unless they are in the way.
I have never heard of the stems having more nicotine though does anyone know if they do for a fact?

[rahl071]

Eric (Sonthert-wherever the hell he went) said something about this, with the stems having more punch and cutting them to little pieces and smoking them anyway.

The only time I have a problem with stems is when I buy 250g cans of Romman. I've never seen so many HUGE stems in shisha...not even in Nakhla. Last time I got the Turkish Coffee and Chocolate flavors that were at least 25% filled with very large, thick stems. I don't think I will get Romman anymore for this reason, or if I do I will just stick with the 50g packages.

I usually don't mind stems but I also don't want to be overloaded with them.
