Now before you make any sort of judgment, please hear me out for one moment. I was making a 90 min. IPA yesterday evening. I was imitating the dogfish head method of continually adding hops over the course of the boil. I placed all my hops in large glass, and shook them up to get them mixed up, allowing for a good sampling of each hop every time I threw a couple pellets in the boil. Any ways, there was a decent amount of powdered hops left in the bottom of the glass, or "shake" if you would call it that. I'm not particularly fond of smoking cigarettes, but my roommate has been rolling his own (w/ a filter) for the last month or so, and they're pretty tasty. So, after some thought and a few beers, I figured "why not?" My roommate put some of the hop shake in with his tobacco and rolled a nice cigarette. Honestly, it wasn't bad. I think the tobacco was still over powering, but it had a nice aroma and some of the hoppy taste was there. I'm not sure what the harms are of smoking hops, but I don't think it's something I'm going to do on a regular basis. I just thought I'd share, and was interested to see if anyone else has tried this out.
