Sealed Tins, Jars, and High Altitudes
My home stands at 6,040 ft in altitude and I never had a problem with anything, tins, jars, or bags. All the usual factory tins still have the usual swoosh from the vacuum packing, when they are first opened. None of my Esoterica bags ever puffed up. As far as factory sealed packaging, I think...- Wet Dottle

How Old Is Too Old?
OP, I've had very good luck with those old boxes. Inside the box, Revelation and a number of other blends used to come inside a foil bag. Not perfect, but good enough to protect the tobacco to the point where it may need just a little rehydration. Are the boxes still sealed and free of water...- Wet Dottle

Love at First Puff
I don't have any experience with estate pipes, nor Davidoff pipes. But among my very favorites are the old Ashtons, the ones that were made by Bill Taylor, before they became a mess. Even the ones that are poorly drilled smoke great.- Wet Dottle

What's your Favorite Coffee Mug?
It has sentimental value. Got it during my first visit to China, with my (then) future wife. It was her first time outside the USA, and... Well, it was a good trip.- Wet Dottle

Whelks
I spent a few summer vacations in the south of Spain with the family and, yes, the Portuguese food is so much better. It was worth the couple hours drive to go there eat. I don't like the way they cook fish, but I've never had better shellfish anywhere in the world. They also have regional...- Wet Dottle

Anecdotes from beyond. What's your most compromising anecdote?
