I agree Sable. 2oz C&D and McClelland tins are the safest to cellar due to the fact that they don’t have that soldier joint like the 100 gr and larger tins
I agree. As far as the paint cans go they seem to rust from the inside because they are not coated like the C&D tins. So even if the seal remains good they will start to rust from the inside. This also goes for the Rattrays 100gr tins.
I like my aged tobacco over the fresh stuff almost every time. The Virginias always develop a darker sweeter taste. To me Burleys don’t ever change. I had a tin of the original release of Gaslight and it was the best Latakia blend that I’ve ever smoked.
It’s a briar pipe. I’ve been pipe smoking for over a decade. Just wandering if any of you ever get that chemical polish smell when breaking in a new pipe?
I just bought an Eltang basic and have smoked it a couple times. The problem is it’s letting off this strong smell that isn’t pleasing. Assuming it’s the finish burning off on the outside. You guys think this very unpleasant smell will go away if I keep smoking it?
I’m a big fan of MacBaren blends…..of the roll cakes I enjoy Royal Twist, Stockton, Dark Twist, Club Blend, Roll Cake. Straight Virginias I enjoy Pure Virginia and Virginia #1
The Briar Fox has aged great. Hasn’t changed too much, but it has changed for the better. A fresh tin of Briar Fox will have a some rough edges but with age they are gone and it is very smooth.
