so its nearly harvest time for me and i wish to make a maso but i haev no idea i have spoken with LLB abotu this before where he says the tobacco is rolled into rolls ad cooked in some water to make a thick syrup which is dried over the maso, any other tips to making a nice strong roll of tobacco?
often i will roll leaves into rolls and let them dry like that works quite well but i am ready to eperiment with various methods of storage.

at ayahuasca forums i read a post by whiterasta where he makes his medicines in a tincture which is evapped and then honey is added to the tincture and reduced further to make an active honey, i wonder if tobacco could be done similar, and then the honey used to make singado, is it a good thing to drink honey through teh nose?
hmm so how do you all go with storing you tobacco?
i mainly chew tobacco but sometimes smoke it and drink it alot through the nose as you all know by now ;)

w hile back i read something i think it was an article by howard charing and the curandero he talks with says they take tobacco macerated in honey to make singado. anyone got more info on this and how they prepare this, there is so much to learn about tobacco i think it will be a lifelong passion for me. but yeah ideas anyone?

    the way i was taught is that the leaves when half dried but darkened are dipped into a thick tea of the same leaves and then rolled wet into a log.
    ive heard differant things added to the leaves... like honey or a vanilla bean... but i think traditionally its just the leaf tea.
    could add some kananga water to it... heheh or florida water... but all of that would change the vibe...

      thanks man
      yeah i decided in the end to just make up alot of ambil.

      however i will give this method a try i think it would go well if you had some leaves that you made a thick syrup with like ambil and then you dipped another set of leaves in that syrup.
      then roll up to make a maso, i will give it a go with the next lot of leaf and i will also put a vanilla bean in the thick syrup as it cooks down
      yummy
