FlatCaps were designed with one thing in mind : using tips or filters. The flat end of FlatCap style mold allows for you to put the wooden tip (like Organitips) into the mold, then then pack down into it. The flat end keeps the tip straight because the tip has a flat surface to…
One of the things that has surprised me – how hard it can be to get clean leaves and use them in a state licensed business. And what I mean is ……. for the ideal cannagar, you want leaves that have not come in contact with pesticides or other sprays, especially the common types used…
It’s been a year since I contracted with EH farms to help them launch a cigar product line. It’s been a fast year and a great learning experience. I’ve had the opportunity to work on a fulls scale commercial cannabis farm and be involved with every aspect of it – not just my…
