Setup

[smidge]

So my order should be coming in tomorrow or tuesday from neal. And i ordered exoticas. I've never used them before so im asking how you guys use them on your bowls. Im going to be smoking some AW, AF, Nakhla, and Fantasia in a Egyptian bowl that came with my MZ. Also if you guys have packing methods and/or tips for AW, AF, or Nakhla let me know.

Look at my pics in teh tonic thread. Good pic there of how I use 3 pieces of an exotica stick.

To break them up just score with a knife 4 equal size chunks then break them [Sometimes they are really hard so i balance it accross a knife and push down!]

whats even better is cutting them using the saw off a swiss army knife. MUCH easier than scoring, cuts through with no problem. but creates a lot of dust though. when i had the luxury of exoticas, i used to use 2/5ths of one stick on my regular narrow bowl and smoked like a dream. Its easy to set up nakhla, can take alot of heat. just sprinkle the tobacco loosley in and foil
