redjako Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Big deal? Or is that the weird punctuations of Burning flavor for 5 minute periods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Oh my god man, Laya is like stem city. It's ridiculous. They don't GIVE you a choice but to throw away at least some of the stems. I never picked out and threw away stems for any brand until I got this tin of Layalina Blueberry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abzy Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 meh just pack them in the bottom of the bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdot Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 I always hear many different things about stems. Such as, it doesn't matter so don't remove them, remove all of them, remove the big ones and leave the small ones. Can someone explain to me the difference it makes if I leave the stems in?

Pretender85 Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 only remote difference i've ever noticed is i get a bit better buzz if i leave all the stems in..otherwise no real difference to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IainUM Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 in my experience, stems just dont really do anything different. a lot of the time when i get nakhla i take a set of scissors to the tobacco and just cut it up so it has a finer cut. takes care of all the stems pretty much some stems look like needles... right kck?

Click Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 I used to cut up the stems I got in nakhla and put them back in, but now i'm too lazy. Just throw them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilikemyusername Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 why not save all the stems and pack a stem bowl? they'll smoke fine. I smoke all of my stems minus the freakin logs I find sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nathanaxman Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I just load them in the bowl like normal.. maybe a difference in the buzz but IDK. doesn't hurt anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HubertLovesMagdyZidan Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 i've never actully smoked with a stem at the top but i usually just put it at the bottom, why not use it as a filler when ur probably not gonna be able to smoke to the VERYY bottom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rani Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Long long time ago, we had a thread about stems, and Eric chimed in that the concentration of nicotine is greater in the stems of the plant, so yeah you would get a bigger buzz. I generally ignore them if they fit in the bowl. Oh! And speaking of Eric, he recently announced that he's getting married! Yep, he posted it on his own manufacturers forum, so congratulations are in order. Might be you want to send him some! 'Rani Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquarius Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I don't remove the stems, except for really big ones. When i make selfmade tobacco, i also just remove the big stems, because otherwise it would be to much work... I think if many stems are in the tobacco, then the flavour does not last as long as if there would be just leaves in it. A stem can't absorb as much molasses like the leave can do.

vendetta_revived Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I for one never throw away my stems, just cut em up and load em in the bowl. It gets my head all happily buzzed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Rani [/quote] Good stuff to know, I felt that rationally, it would "burn" as its a more dense material vs the tobacco leaves. Congrats to Eric! Man's a beast (though never met him in person, with his discussions (rational even in heated debates (for the most part (re: small Tang bowls)), online presences and discussions CAN lead you to identifying personality types. He's probably fun to chat about the universe over some beers and "fuck off" mint (or whatever). Side note (because YOU did a side note missy!) my friend postulated a clove / horchata mix (noir). "the nose never lies) and he was correct. I've done 75/25 horchata / clove, and 50/50. I like the 75/25. Its brilliant! Close by itself is also very damn good.

And to the first response, Laylina is literally GORGED in stems, its ridiculous. But, I like Laylina's for the most part. They smoke like SB (not much smoke), but have decent flavors.

ukhookah Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Yeh I put them at bottom if I can be bothered. Like someone said above, the shisha at the bottom never burns away anyway so u might aswel use the stems as filler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
