Cotton Mouth

OK, tell the truth. You don't really like pipes at all, do you?
Admit it: you just have a tremendous crush on the UPS driver.

 

[bostoneo]

hahaha.... wife may be watching.... jk. Just love pipe baccy, tastes so much better than cigars and at a fraction of the cost Been smoking cigars for 8years.

Ah, I feel so much better. My wife is worried about my PAD/ TAD. I can now proudly show her your thread and keep on shopping! :rofl:
Welcome to the Forum. Not much to add that hasn't been said, advice-wise. I wish you lived closer. I am just outside Portland, OR and cannot seem to find anyone to smoke with.
I saw that Mars sale, but too late... That was a great event. Congrats!

Wouldn't be the first time someone has said that to me hahah.

 

[jpmcwjr]

Hah! That explains it! Can you pls. post pix of the UPS driver??

Check Ebay & Amazon for ziplock mylar bags & mylar bag sealer. You will not need oxygen absorbers.

 

[philobeddoe]

Bostoneo, you owe your UPS man a bottle of good scotch this Christmas, good grief!

The containers they reside in are airlocked with a gasket.

Those containers are not airtight. The seal is foam and the plastic is O2 permeable. Better than most other totes, but they have issues: They are made from a PVC with lots of plasticizers. Stick your nose in and take a big whiff next time that you open one. That's plastic off-gassing. It WILL get into your stash if the tobacco isn't sealed in something impermeable like glass or mylar.
I'd get those SG boxes transferred to glass or sealed in heavy mylar.

 

[bostoneo]

Thx for the info on the plastic containers! I'll have to take care of that this weekend.
My UPS delivery person .... sometimes makes more than 1 or 2 stops :nana:

 

[jpmcwjr]

Perfect! Now, you can just start shipping some of that stash to me, a bag or so at a time, should double your pleasure as she comes

by to pick up the outgoing.....

 

[bostoneo]

In my dreams hahahahaha
Now to find clear bags large enough to shove the whole SG box in

 

[woodsroad]

Damn.

And here I thought that she was only delivering to me.
Bostoneo, you want heavy duty Mylar bags: https://www.sorbentsystems.com/stockziplock.html
Lots of other suppliers out there... maybe other folks can chime in with their favorite vendors

Since I started smoking pipes, I find I typically get a cotton mouth, or rough bumpy tongue in the morning that can feel a little sore. I think I may be steaming my tongue/mouth but possibly smoking to quickly

Everyone will say smoke more slowly, so, yes, that, but also consider drinking a lot of water. Cools the mouth as well. Beer is better but dries you out.

 

[fitzy]

Wow what a collection.
Sounds like your cotton mouth is leather tongue. Sometimes a short break to let your tongue heal will help in addition to the previously mentioned tips for slower smoking, water drinking and drying the baccy.

 

[bostoneo]

Thanks for the suggestions mates!

 

[bostoneo]

Hmmmm on the other hand, those 1.5lb boxes of SG may be able to fit in 64oz ball jars?

Mr, Bosteno,I have had and still have one day or other the same ennoying feeling, but lately not so frequantly,yes ,pay attention to packing on looser side, dry a bit out tobacco prior smoking, and go on as slow as you can,the rest becomes with time,I'd expect.

 

[tschiraldi]

Bostoneo, I am in the Mount Vernon area. I often pass through Akron on my way to Youngstown, where my family lives and my eldest son goes to college. What tobacco shops would you recommend in Akron? My web searches keep coming up empty! Maybe we can meet up for a bowl or two next time I'm through.

I grew up surrounded by FL swampland. I have a serious fear / respect for the Cotton Mouth. That is a deadly snake.

Where did he come from? Where did he go?
