Parafilm To Seal Tins
I posted this on another thread but thought maybe it might a warrant a thread on its own. I use Parafilm (click here) to wrap tins and provide another layer in case the original tin seal fails. The 4" wide Parafilm can be cut to about an inch and wrapped around the tin. The self-adherent...- rhoadsie

Pipe Tobacco Ban Soon!
I don't know when this will take effect but perhaps we need to quickly cellar. We can organize group buys so that no one is left out and all can join in the frenzy. Let's start multiple threads with buy ins and posts ad nauseam. Ready...go!- rhoadsie

If I Were Trump...
Forget the presidency, I'd acquire J.F. Germain & Sons so I had unlimited Penzance and Stonehaven. I'd smoke it, roll in it, supply it to this forum. Okay, just kidding (maybe). But seriously, I would build a cellar of Peck-like proportions. I would have all the blends I currently love plus a...- rhoadsie

Aging Tobacco
How is tobacco aged before tinning? We buy tins to age and presumably improve it but that same tobacco may have been aged for years? Is it aged in a different environment than the tin? Are we really aging to mellow "casing" or some preservative? Is this similar to cigars where sitting in a...- rhoadsie

Tobacco Cellar Smells Like Tobacco
I don't know if I should be expecting a few "duhs" but the room where I cellar my tobacco has a tobacco odor. I like it but if the tins are "sealed", technically there shouldn't be a tobacco odor, correct? I have a mix of tin types and on the order of ~40 lbs cellared. Every european tin I pick...- rhoadsie
