Bloody hell yeah.
Edit: for those times when too many hops are barely enough...

I've asked for a price for a box of 25 of them sent here - the Adelaide crew were smoking hop ciggies at a case swap last year.

 

[Dave70]

What next, MALTED BARLEY-O'S breakfast cereal? (with 'beer of the month' swap card inside each box)

 

[mje1980]

Brings a new meaning to "punching a few cones" hahaha.

"Yes officer, that is a very large rolled cigarette full of green stuff, but its not dope, honestly, its better than that, its a chinook spliff man!"

I'd been under the impression that smoking hops would make you sick.

 

[Pollux]

Let us know how that goes there DrS............I'd be interested in a box of 25 for myself. I do enjoy a good cigar from time to time.

Yeah I'd be interested in seeing what shipping is like; wouldn't mind one or two myself.

Don't forget tobacco excise is even more rediculous than excise on the alcohol in our beloved beer.

So once it get's here you will be hit up with a tax bill.

Would still love to smoke one.

 

[brettprevans]

kind of like dipping your cigars into cognac. love cigars. and congnac for that matter

definitley sounds like something the brew clubs should buy

I'd been under the impression that smoking hops would make you sick.

I would suspect that the copious amounts of beer we drank before deciding that smoking hops was a brilliant idea would have been more likley to result in people being sick but that said i woke up the next morning feeling quite chipper (and possibly still drunk). But then we do come up with some amazing ideas that noone has ever thought of (sic) in the history of the world when drunk (making beer from beer perhaps).

I also didn't take into account the excise on tobacco or the fact that importation of hops - are they flowers or do they use pelletised hops?

I can only ask for a shipping cost and then find out how much pain is required to import them.

You will probably find they actually do not contain hops, but the tobacco leaf has been infused with hop flavour and aroma when the tobacco is aged before rolling.

They might make a hop tea and splash the tobacco leaf with it while ageing, they might just have flowers or pellets in the aging room with the tobacco?

I might actually have a play with one of my cigars to see if I can impart some hop flavour.

From a supplier who i have contacted for a shipping quote - Link

The world's first cigar seasoned with 100% Centennial Hops.

What does seasoned mean in this context?

I'm tipping the filler get's splashed with a little hop essence, then the pay some 9 year old Dominican boy working out of a shipping container a gazzillion pesos ($1 AUD) plus all the Panatella's he can smoke to hand roll them.

 

[Muggus]

Sweet mercy. I must possess these!

i like my cigars but for $35 id prefer quality tabacco rather than avg quality tabacco+gimmick. and given that they are made in the US (and not like in the good old days where they would smuggle them into the US and label them ssomething differant), Id prefer to spend my $ on something else. of course if someone offered me a puff i certainly wouldnt turn them down.

In saying that,m I still recon you could import them cheaper yourself
