    Frustration Not Relaxation

    That's how I do it as well, I find a heat source and place the whole jar or tin close to it, then dry the whole thing. If I don't finish it in 2 weeks or so, it becomes wet again. RH is 91% here right now. I can't plan smoking a pipe 2 hours in advance, kudos to people who can do it. And that's...

    Frustration Not Relaxation

    I would still suspect humidity. If the RH is above 70% and the moisture content of your tobacco is around 12% then it won't dry, the moisture level may even increase.

    Frustration Not Relaxation

    How do you dry it? By leaving in the open air? Did you check the humidity, sometimes it is too humid that instead of drying, tobacco soaks more moisture from air.

    The (Un)Official Secret Santa 2020!

    Guys, please stop posting inappropriate pictures, I have just deleted 4 of them. Read the forum rules before posting that kind of content. Last year the thread got locked just because of a single post. Let's not ruin the Christmas.

    My Apologies

    I hope everyone will see and accept the apology. We are just bunch of guys here who enjoy smoking our pipes. I would rather hear how amazing the Mixture 79 is rather than discussing politics or gender issues. Thanks for your understanding and let's move on.

    The (Un)Official Secret Santa 2020!

    Honestly speaking, the real dealbreaker here is you telling what you are going to do. You are not pissing anyone. I have been participating in Secret Santa since 2016, there was a time I sent only 2 pouches, because I couldn't find any pipe tobacco here in Azerbaijan, and then there was a time I...

    Pipe Smoking Activities

    I usually smoke while driving during the day. In the evening, after the kids go to bed, I smoke few pipes while watching a movie or a TV show.

    How to Tell if a Briar Block is Ready for Carving?

    There are some hobbyist pipemakers on the forum, hopefully they will chime in.

    First Cob with Burlap and Bamboo.

    Pipe mud (cigar ash) can also be useful.

    One Meerschaum For One Year (11/7/2020)

    @didimauw, someone from MM commented that they were going to display the cob pipe in their museum after you finish smoking it, no?

    English Blend vs Latakia Blend

    Depends on who "you" is. A Virginia Latakia blend may be called a Latakia blend, or a Latakia bomb might be a Latakia blend for someone. Some may even call Latakia an Oriental because in fact it truly is. There are no strict boundaries when it comes to pipe tobacco blends. Whenever someone...

    One Meerschaum For One Year (11/7/2020)

    So Kevin, until now you smoked a cob for a year (or almost?) and a briar right? I am just too lazy to find the threads.

    The (Un)Official Secret Santa 2020!

    I forgot to mention that I like almost anything except goopy Aromatics and Latakia bombs. Virginias, VaPers, VaBurs, VaOrs, Burleys, Burpees. And here is a tip to the ones participating for the first time. If you don't know what to choose, send one tin that you enjoy the most and one tin that...
