    Bulging tins

    Pulled a few tins from basement storage. All the flat (tin lid) tins seem good….flat. Half my other tins (plastic lid tins) seem to be bulging. Some barely, some profoundly. Am I to assume that any bulging would indicate spoilage and hence a trip to the trash can??

    Returning from an Eight Year Break.

    Stowed my pipes and tobacco in bins in my basement about 8 years ago. I recently pulled a few pipes and a few tins out. I forgot some stuff and I’m glad to see that my PM account hasn’t been deactivated during that time since I’ll be reacquainting myself with the advice in these fantastic...

    September TAD Order....and Possibly My Last....

    I have to say that jarring up my bulk Anniversary Kake, it didn't seem very "kake" like. Whatever, as long as it tastes the same. According to tobaccocellar.com, I guess that I had better keep up with my record keeping on the site, as soon as I can figure that out. At "Cellar Summary - 14...

    MM Ten Pipe Grab Bag

    Just placed an order for a Ten Pipe Grab Bag of Smokable Seconds from Missouri Meerschaum (is that enough caps). Not so much to start off the August PAD, but to have some pipes on hand for loaners ( or givers as I wouldn't expect to take them back). While I was on vacation a few weeks ago my...

    Altinok PAD

    Just put in an order for a Cherrywood Meerschaum Pipe from Altinok Pipes. Hoping I didn't make the wrong move as the pipe isn't made yet (made to order 4-5 weeks) I'm a little concerned with everything going on Turkey and all the hubbub going on with the Meer market. I went with it as I see...

    SG FVF, Mold?

    Decided to christen my birthyear with SG FVF. I cracked a tin that I received in August from Mr snuff so I can try it in a cob first as I haven't tried this flake yet. I noticed that the flakes are kinda wet when I was cube cutting it. I also noticed what I hope to be chrystals. Its not...

    1967 Birth Year Dunhill (pics)

    Made the leap on my birthyear Dunhill. It's the most I've spent on a pipe so far, but I've been laying off the PAD for a few months now. Only thing that concerns me is the (ex) marking on it. Does anybody know if the exchange symbol represent any kind of lower quality?

    Gawith Hoggarth & Co, Rum Flake

    First let me apologize for the rambling format of this post. This is not a review, just an observation. I popped a tin of this stuff when I first started pipe smoking back in March. I was put off by the perfume not that it gave off. After getting distracted by VaPers, Va's and English blends I...

    Dan Tobacco-Limerick

    I just received a 16 oz bag of Limerick. I don't plan on smoking of for a while. Is it okay to leave it in the foil bag(is it airtight ) ? Or should I take it out of the bag and jar it?

    Cool Movie Quotes.....

    Snake Plissken: Got a smoke? Malloy: The United States is a non-smoking nation! No smoking, no drugs, no alcohol, no women - unless you're married - no foul language, no red meat! Snake Plissken: [sarcastic] Land of the free. Cheesy movie but Snake Plissken is a bad ass character.
