Doesn't the battery always run out of juice at inappropriate times? I don't own a belt sander - I can never keep the sandpaper on the belt evenly, it always comes off on one side or the other. What brand do you have?Quote:

My Pops has one of those shopsmith thingies that turns into 5 or 6 things....surprisingly enough, it functions reasonably well at all the things it does. The planer attachment is pretty cool, and the drill press works very well as does the disk sander. I'm not worth a shit on the lathe, though I can produce huge tooth-pick replicas astoundingly well.
I'm good at gouging a huge chunck out of a nearly finished piece, while jumping back with cat-like reflexes to avoid said piece.:smiley17:Quote:

Still nothing.
Wait, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down.Quote:

That is awesome that the strains used are actually listed on the box. :smiley20:
Landed today!
Thanks buzz for the suspenseful split!
Will
Totally forgot about these!! Landed today, looking good!!
Thanks Buzz!
Thank you Buzz. Smokes landed safely.
...
Received. I've never seen a plastic bag this big before.
Thanks for hosting, Buzz!!!!!
I haven't heard back yet from Tachy... the last PM he sent me was on May 24th:
I've sent him 3 PM's since then and he hasn't responded. Looks like he hasn't logged on since June 29th (the Tats came on July 6th).Quote:
I'm going to be moving in the next couple of weeks so if the sticks come in, please hold on to them for me, I'm not sure when I'm going to have an actual address yet or where it is going to be.
Has anyone heard anything from him?
No haven't heard a thing form him in weeks.
Maybe send him a letter to check his address and see if he is still alive?
I'll do that and see.Quote:

Thanks for the offer Paddy, but he already paid. I'll see what happens with the test letter in the mail and keep the board posted.Quote:

Heard from Tachy, he's heading to LA in ~2 weeks so I'll be holding his sticks till he gets there and sends me the new addy. I'll keep the board posted.
BTW, I'm not actually online most of the time. I think the proxy server keeps the link alive.
I should move to LA ...
Heard from Tachy today, he is in California now but wanted me to hold his Tats for ~2 more weeks because of work obligations. I'll update the thread with his DC# when I send them. :smiley20:
What an epic split!:smiley37:
Everything I do is Epic. :smiley16:Quote:

Thanks guys, that was epic.
I just noticed the blend mixture on this box.....and I can get seeds for every fuckin' one of 'em!!!!Quote:

Well, short answer is no, obviously. I can, however, provide the requisite nutrients in proper proportion and plant and maintain them for the proper duration, and end up with a "true to type" plant. There is much data available to ensure this aspect.Quote:

In so far as reliable information exists, I can also harvest and initially "color" cure the leaves in similar manner and conditions and for similar lengths of time. What I have not been able to do without artificial heat and humidity is properly ferment those leaves. The end product of assisted fermentation is certainly smoke able, and is enjoyable. :smiley20: Shit, even the vast majority off CT leaf produced in the US is fermented elsewhere. Broadleaf is an exception, but it's an exception in other ways also.

Doing it yourself is epic (to fit into the theme of this thread). My hat is off to you.
I was more thinking of the box label which shows the farm (and the factory - and 'A.O.C.' - which surprised me. I didn't know that the French government had laws concerning Nicaraguan cigars...)
The fermentation (a.k.a. composting, LOL) is always assisted. There are just different ways of doing it.
Yep, but I hope to limit my assistance to piling it up, and giving it a spritz of h2o.
Those pilons (a.k.a. bulks) are huge - 1300 kilos I remember reading somewhere, I think. That's a lot of pressure. If you built a kiln (pronounced 'kill,' and no relation to what people fire ceramics in) shed/box, you could probably go smaller, but it would still be a few hundred pounds of tobacco needed, I suspect - but I don't know.
I guess that you could try what the Cubans do with wrapper - or used to do, according to some sources) - not ferment the wrapper at all (just cure it).
