Have you ever smoked cloves?

I tried them a few times, but couldn't inhale them. I haven't seen them since I was in college. I also tried bidis a few times; these were rolled tobacco leaves from India, tied with a little string. I used to also buy "Drum" shredded tobacco in the little pouches and roll my own cigarettes. I was never a regular smoker, however. I would buy a pack, smoke a few, then someone would ask to bum one and I would just give them the rest of the pack. I enjoyed the taste but the effect was too strong. I think the last time I smoked tobacco was at least ten years ago. I was out of town for a meeting and there was a cigar store, and being on per diem it wasn't a big deal to buy a Butera for $25.

I recently started vaping Delta-8 but I don't inhale that either as I can't tolerate it.
