Herbal blends are a different type of smoke than other smoke options! A lot of that has to do with the way the smokes are produced. More common smokes, such as tobacco and cannabis, both go through a curing process. This process makes sure you’re getting the best smoke, and usually locks in a bit of moisture. The water vapor collects the ash, and is the reason a big cloud of smoke is produced when exhaling. It gives the feeling of a heavy throat hit. That vapor causes tobacco and cannabis to need more heat and a heavier lung pull in order to burn properly.

Conversely, with our dry herb blends, there isn’t that moisture content so there is less resistance to burn. The extra heat or pull that normally would cause a cigarette to light and hold will cause the herbal blends to singe. This negatively affects the taste and the effects. It also means that there isn’t as much visible smoke, as there isn’t any water vapor to collect the ash. You are still getting the effects of the herbs! There is just less ash being inhaled into your lungs.

The best advice is to adjust how you smoke the herbs. We encourage people to “sip” the herbs, rather than inhaling deeply. This will allow the entire blend to burn slowly and evenly.
