I Think I've Finally Hit Bottom
Wow ! You had a Lot of pipes. I’ve heard of a 7 Day Rotation, but not a 1 Year Rotation Well done on the culling. Those pipes will likely give lots of pleasure to many other pipe smokers Mac- 5star

Formula for Number of Pipes Needed.
Pipe manufacturers & retailers used to push the ‘7 Day Rotation’ idea. Ive gotta feeling there are many guys here who went past that idea a Long time ago (including me). Mac- 5star

Coolidor for my pipe tobacco
Pipe baccy isn’t like cigars. Put it in a mason jar. Put the jars in a dark, cool place without wide temperature variations. You’re then good to go. I’ve also put some pipe tobacco in sealed mylar bags. Mainly for space saving purposes. But not enough years have gone by for me to personally...- 5star

How Are Your Cellared Aromatics Holding Up?
I use the same set up as you do & store under about the same conditions. Completely dark room held pretty steady at around 65F. The oldest BCA I have vac jarred&sealed is 7yrs old and there’s no discernible difference in it from when it was new. What may happen to it over even longer time...- 5star

How Are Your Cellared Aromatics Holding Up?
What method did you use to vac seal it ? How long ago ? Under what conditions was it stored ? After your post I checked my BCA jars & all is perfectly fine with them. On the other hand, I prefer Brit Lakeland type aros now over those with lots of PG. Mac- 5star

How Are Your Cellared Aromatics Holding Up?
Interesting. I can only relate my own experience. It was kept in a cool completely dark place for 7 years. Every 6 months or so I’d take the mason jar ring off (but leave the flat lid on) & reapply a vacuum using a jar sealer device attached to a bag sealer machine ) just to be sure. Mac- 5star

Oregon Proposes Ban on All Flavored Tobacco
Some politicians undoubtedly think they can score big by ‘protecting the children’. No way same politicians would try to ban weed - not in Oregon. The (stoned) public would get off their couches & vote them out. I lived in Oregon for many years. Glad I moved out. Mac- 5star

U.S. Navy's Small Ship Troubles
Build ships. Scrap them or get ‘em sunk. Get more contracts. Build more ships. Terrific business plan for ‘defense’ contractors. (Not so great if you’re a sailor on one of the sunk ones.)- 5star

FVF And Cringle Flake Burn My Tongue Instantly.
I have to be careful with straight Virginia blends. Something likely due to personal body chemistry. But if they have a few years age on them, I’m usually fine. Its the fresh stuff that’s more likely to cause a reaction in me. Mac- 5star
