    Long Term Viability of Cardboard “Tins”

    Are these tins built for cellaring? I imagine the manufacturer stores them like this but if you had several pounds of expensive tobacco (aren’t they all) in 2 oz cardboard tins would you keep them sealed or open all and jar them?

    Just Released from P&C: Seattle Pipe Club's Plum Pudding Bourbon Barrel Aged

    A little late to the conversation but I just have to say this stuff ROCKS! Yes, it is expensive relative to prices for good leaf some of us can get on the internet. Locally the only thing I can buy for 30+ miles is Cap’n Black 1.75 pouch for the same price. So I can justify the purchase...

    JFH Ruins of Isengard Match

    Just had my first bowls of Whiskey Biscuit Gravy and Black Magic Women from JFH. Excellent all around experience. I enjoy this genre and these blends may work their way into my regular rotation.

    Vauen

    This fellow has a very interesting English accent. Can’t really put a finger on it, but it sounds like he learned English from someone from the southern United States.

    JFH Ruins of Isengard Match

    Does anyone know if there is a replacement for Ruins of Isengard. I like this category; cross-over, english-aero or whatever you call it.

    Bowl Brush Opinions

    Sometimes the venerable and wise can understandably forget how tenuous their first steps were on the path to proficiency, especially if those steps occurred a long time ago. I have found a kind and gentle hand produces the best results. We all possess a common goal here, the enjoyment of pipe...

    Hello from Korea!

    Welcome from the Gulf Coast of Florida! Some good advice to be found here! You are well on your way. Too bad about the biotene but I agree you should avoid mouthwash before smoking. Good luck!

    Bowl Brush Opinions

    With all due respect, last time I checked this was the Basic & Beginners forum. You should keep in mind your comments might be construed as intimidating for some beginners. Name calling beginners or calling their questions "foo-foo" and "noob obessions" doesn't elevate your status or make people...

    Rehydrate Dry Flakes With Fresh Ones?

    If you have a properly functioning (and large enough) humidor, put your open tin in there. Be patient.

    ***What Are You Smoking, August 2020?***

    It’s amazing the amount of interest or re-interest in pipe smoking one movie had. And to think it was quite a debate whether or not to even include anyone smoking in them!
