oldypigeonpopper Posted January 23, 2022 Report Share Posted January 23, 2022 Hello, I read some people buy the cord and use a solution called salt peter , potassium Nitrate ? Soak in rope and leave to dry, not found a supplier of smouldering rope, although on the farming forum it seem you can buy it but nothing comes up on google Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow! I never new that Ditchy. Wonder when they stopped putting it in? Vastly increase the amount of saltpetre in the cig, and hey presto, an 'ever lasting fag.'
