Smoking Nicotinia rustica

Recommended Posts

Hi,

has anyone smoked their own cured N rustica tobacco? I was just wondering exactly how harsh the smoke is, compared to say, something like WhiteOx. A lot of websites claim that rustica is never used 100% in commercial tobacco's, but I'm kinda interested in doing a batch of super-strong stuff. Hey, could set up a gourmet shop if you got the right permits!

I've had a crack at it, once

It's not on my list of things to do again.

Whiteox is fairly high in nicotine but most of the intensity is from the way that it's smoke cured and not so much the nicotine levels.

Rustica is nasty stuff because of the high nicotine levels, if it's well cured it will be a fairly mild smoke compared to whiteox but it kicks like a mule. So just try a small amount or mix some in with regular tobacco.

Much respect for tabaqueros of the amazon!

if you blend the flower and leaf its not so harsh but the nicotiine hit is a bit rough, made me want to have a sit down and left me feeling a bit green.

been smoking Manitou organic and Domingo Natural recently instead of my usual White Ox/ Golden Virginia when I can get it.

Must say it's like smoking corndust. My throat is really irritated.

Gonna try American Spirit Perique and Old Holburn next.

I would love something about 2x strong as White Ox - I think that would make about 50mg per cigarette of Nicotine.

Isn't there some secret genetically-engineered sp that is 2x?

Nah, I think the whole "natural/organic" thing is a marketing myth.

Gimme something dark and well-blended in a rolly tobacco - that's the thing.

Why not just blaze a few fat cuban's?

That will sort out the niccobeast within.

No bum puffing shit just huge triple drags held in for half a minute at a time!

IMO anything commercial non organic tastes shit house.

Give me Organic manitou with unbleached hemp papers and cotton filters any day!

But hey each to their own ;)

I remember trying some intense Thai or Vietnamese tobacco resin shit from a bamboo pipe at a party once. That shit is wack...I think probably if you opened a boutique tobacconist you'd need to be very careful of how potent what you're selling is - it would be hard to standardize and could be dangerous to people without a tolerance and common sense.

Personally the only time i dont smoke N.rustica is when i run out. I absolutely love the stuff, the young leaves about thumb size and smaller are sweet, pick as they grow ,and if you have the patience to peel off the sheathes covering the matured seed pods they're really sweet and really clear the mind . I use a tobacco pipe as i cant slice the stuff thin enough to roll in a paper .

Free seeds to anyone that want some and sends me a PM. :)

rustica germiantes easily and grows fast, you'll get a lot of plants out of the seed i sent :)

has anyone cured their own? Would love to hear about curing methods and any problems encountered.

I would like to try perique or latakia or Cavendish methods with some rustica.

I soak and roll tobaccum leaves, the let them dry out again, making the leaves go a much darker brown and taste more like commercial tobacco. Rustica leaves are much smaller, but you could probably still try. I just chew them, they are so much better that way.

If you want stronger, why not get your favourite tasting tobacco and fortify it with nicotine?
