    I have three #s of 515-RC in bags just like the one shown and several of the traditional bags. I think your right, Sutliff was just using whatever was left and slapping a label on it...

    Peterson p-lip Pipes

    I've certainly done it, but just like regular bits, it is mostly a cadence problem. It also makes a difference if you are using a system versus a non-system pipe. The full system (including the condenser) makes a tremendous difference in allowing steam to condense and drop out of the smoke...

    Putting Sealed Tins In Vacuum Sealed Bags

    I have been vacuum sealing my tins for a long time, and am a true believer in doing so. None of us can predict if or when a seal is going to fail, so that's why I do it. However, I know lots of people who store tinned tobacco in just the tin and have done so for decades with no issues. IMHO...

    Opening Tobacco Tins

    Hi, take a Czech tool or small flathead screwdriver and insert it into one of the divots located on the side of the tin under the lid, and gently rotate it. It'll break that seal (you'll hear the vacuum swoosh) and keep the tin lid in shape so you can screw the lid down after opening it...
