Well That Sucks (RIP Theee Nuns)

Use a churchwarden with an easy draw...silicosis is not THAT easy to contract, and besides, who's inhaling their pipe tobacco? Naughty, naughty.

Bummer. This is why I elected to use plastic food grade bail jars. I don't know if they're suitable for 5 or 10 year storage but they've kept tobacco fresh for me for at least a year.

PET Wonder Jars with Bail Lids

PET clear food grade plastic jars with PETG bail lids complete with a stainless lock. The answer to many storage needs when exposure to air or moisture is harmful to your storage inventory. Virtually impervious to normal bumps, cracks and breaks of similar glass storage systems. Designed with flap stoppers so they are stackable and store in less space.

... who's inhaling their pipe tobacco

Everyone, to some small extent, whether they choose to believe it or not.

I wouldn't trash it. If you have a Savinelli just smoke it with the balsa filter to block out any shards of glass and maybe smoke it gently to be a little extra cautious. No need to throw the baby out with the bath water.

A balsa wood filter, or for that matter, any filter is only effective at removing some particulate matter and moisture and will in no way filter out all of the microscopic pieces of glass that might possibly be imbedded in the tobacco. Once again, albeit it was painful to do, he did the right thing in disposing the entire unfortunate mess.

Oh, the humanity . . . :crying:

Well, possibly not so painful when you have 672+ pounds of tobacco in your cellar. That's more or less like simply spilling a spoon full of sugar on the floor for you peck. :wink:
