Tar

Posted by Wazmo Nariz on Saturday, 02-Jun-2007
Since I started using Tar-Gard filters (the permanent kind that you take the venturi element out of to clean and reuse) I've noticed quite a big difference in the amount of tars from various tobaccos. Surprisingly, the pouch of Republic Drum I bought a few days ago to compare with the Imperial UK Drum was quite low in tar. Windsail Platinum seems to have a good bit more tar than the Drum...I could smoke 5 or 6 sticks of Drum and accumulate the same amount of tars as about 3 WP sticks. The Sagamore Virginia seems to fall between those two.

Anyone else use any of the other tar filtration devices and noticed the amounts of tar in your favourite 'baccy?

I use Niko-Stop and have used Tar Block. Both are essentially the same as Tar Guard. I can get a box of 30 for $2 at my local "discount" tobacco store.

As for differences in he amount of tar between different tobaccos, I haven't really checked. However, sometimes I like to use the devices and sometimes I like to smoke without them.

In any case I found that the price was cheap enough to not bother with cleaning them.
