    Aging and Pricing Thoughts

    I appreciate this conversation, it helped a lot. And it got me thinking about stuff I hadn't even considered. I dislike blatent flipping, but selling things you won't use at reasonabe market prices makes sense. I have about 10 tins of blends i don't like. Rather than asking 10x the price in...

    Aging and Pricing Thoughts

    I'll buy jars only from folks I've dealt with and trust. But you're right, buying jars is I'll advised generally. '' My preferred way to try tobaccos is friends and clubs, but it's not always possible.

    Aging and Pricing Thoughts

    Of course. And, I'm getting a general feel of what people feel that market will bear currently. We're a limited sample, but 90% of what we talk about is subjective anyhow. I do hate flippers, but I also like to buy aged tins sometime, at "reasonable" prices. It can helpme me decide if i want...

    Aging and Pricing Thoughts

    Hello, What are folks general thoughts on pricing tobaccos based on age? I realize that many things factor into this, but I'm mostly thinking about tins that are mostly available but maybe a bit more difficult like SG FVF or something popular and available like SPC or C&D blends. When does...

    I am at a 3/5 so far with it. I don't like some changes. Some i see as needed, but not the love triangle, that was a useless addition.

    That's kind of fun. Kind of a blend club?

    Buy a 6mm or a 9mm pipe?

    I like 6mm filters, they smoke ok if you can't find a filter or adapter and the filters are cheaper by a bit.

    Ironically, this method is called the "no method" method. ;)

    On the Fence... About this Cellar...

    I think it's a good idea to sell a coupl you know you don't like, But sit on a majority of them. And set a date, If you haven't smoked them in five years or ten years, Or whatever you decide, List them then, they'll be worth more and by then I imagine you'll have a set rotation. If there are...

    JimInks, I've Gotta Ask.

    I missed a few legs through the pipesmoke. Is 28 a lucky number or is that the maximum the Pipe Elves Union Local 656 would allow for the work load? I also offer my thanks and appreciation and admiration to JimInks - elves or no, you've helped me be a better smoker and taster of fine pipe...
