So Snuffhouse who has tried this stuff? Ill hopefully get my pipe and some tobacco tomorrow. In case you dont know what it is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midwakh. Any advice with what dokha to start with? Those are the ones that I ordered: Easy Times Kicking It Grandfathers Blend Morning Enjoyment Lets Go I also ordered a Kisaru and some tobacco for it. Heh seems like I really do have to try every form of tobacco at least once.
I want to try this. I also want to try making snuff out of it.
that is also a very good idea, thats the site where I got the stuff from forgot the link in the first post http://medwakh.com/
It is on my list.
I have been smoking dohka for a little over a year now. The nice dreams and lets go are my favorites. Let me give a little advise i had to learn though, just because a dohka is labeled hot warm or cool, that is not the nicotine content. Just how harsh it is. A lot of the warm dohkas are a lot stronger in nicotine than the hots. I have also made snuff from dohka, kizami (japanese tobacco)and isfahini tobacco. They are pretty good. The isfahani I have is the best i have made so far.
@goldenboy Do take it easy the first few times though if you are not a heavy smoker or dipper. A lot of people get put off by the buzz and dont get to enjoy the dohka very long due to over use the first few times
It is certainly something I would like to try down the road. @thendrix65804: is the tobacco wet or dry, leafy or chunky?
@cstokes4 the dokha’s are usually a little moist and finely ground. They almost look lie a ground spice they are so fine. In fact im going to go have some now!
whats the best place to get these in the UK? I’d also like to get hold of an ultra long Korean pipe.
I dont know if he ships to the U.K. specificly but I order from http://www.medwakh.com/Shopping\_Cart.html I believe you can also get the asian pipe you are looking for. It sounds like you want a kirasu. He also carries kizam tobacco for your kirasu.
Dang it I never have figure out how to prevent or cancel a double post. Im new to forums.
It usually deletes itself when you refresh the page
bassem at http://www.medwakh.com is a really nice guy. He ships international just hit him up at international_orders@medwakh.com. My stuff sadly hasnt arrived yet so him hoping for tomorrow
so i just recived my package with some generous stuff thrown in for free and just smoked my first bowl. Did a shisha style inhale and nearly died. then had some cigarette like drag and that was much better. quite nice but im not blown away yet.
Bump
Thank’s Juxtaposer!
Can’t believe I might aquire(sp?) another tobacco form! But it’s so damn tempting!
Fortunately I have never smoked cigarettes so the temptation for me is minimal. I am interested in what herbs, spices and barks are traditionally used in these mixes. The tobacco itself appears to be of the Oriental variety which is not color cured. N. Rustica may also be used in Dokha. I would be interested to know. The claim that Dokha tobacco is stronger is certainly biased by the way that it is used. Any tobacco smoked in that manner will give you the “buzz” that is mentioned. The Japanese version of this type of smoking uses plain Burley which is very thinly shagged. It seems the illegality of tobacco is what caused the spicing for purposes of concealing the tobacco. I have tried Thuoc Lao which is yet another smoke of similar style. But not being a smoker I could not fully appreciate it. I suppose if I filled the dieu cay with water (I did make one myself) it would be more enjoyable. I have smoked snuff from a bong and imagine this as similar to this type of smoking. I have enjoyed hookah smoking and it seems the best method except for the inconvenience (portability, set up, etc.).
Well if I get hooked up I could try to give a bit of a review, to compare it with other smoking tobaccos, but I probably wouldn’t be the first.
Got some cardomom shisha waiting for the Springtime
Im actually a pretty regular Dokha smoker… Having sampled enough of a range of harshness’ and buzz levels, as well as flavors that i do have a few favorites. I’ve got a few different medwakh’s traditional and non… as well as a matching chanta (Dokha container) that goes with one of my medwakhs. All the dokha’s I’ve tried thus far I have purchased from Medwakh.com, and Bassem is def the #1 Vendor in the US. If you contact him, via his email, with what kinda of tobaccos you enjoy, and order one of his starter kits which I think sells for about 23 bucks, plus shipping…He’ll actually recommend some blends that you’ll likely enjoy… Also, he is notoriously known for sending some nice freebies.
My personal Favorites are Bassem’s Blend, Yousef Rida hot, Kareemi Hot, Grey Wizard, Dunadain’s Sweet Galenas, and Snipers Blend. but there are a huge selection of flavors and styles.
When I still smoked I had this stuff, also order from Medwakh.com. I like it, I like the flavours BUT I have the feeling it’s very very bad for you.
It’s meant to be inhaled, and most of them just take your breath away. And I mean that literately - It takes your breath away - Like there is no oxygen.
What is nice you can smoke it inside, there will be almost no smoke in the room, and it even smells nice, you won’t smell anything any more the next morning.
So, it’s nice - but not for me, and I quit smoking overall so
