    ***What Are You Smoking, February 2024?***

    How would you sum up that blend? Been looking into it and found an old jar from 2020 that I'm thinking of cracking open.

    That's excellent. As someone who used to work for Restore Hetch Hetchy, I find this book highly interesting.

    ***What Are You Smoking, February 2024?***

    So far this month has been a variety of aros that aspire to be more. Like Foxx's Hibernia and Vauen's Barvarian blend. The former in my Chicom Jazz (904). The latter in my hardwood meerschom. Been enjoying them both, but next I'm going back to my Samovar for a pipe or two. But I really want...

    Breaking in a New Pipe

    I agree. I have tried all of the above and none. I like the results I got in one pipe with honey, but I had to undo it in another and start over. Now, I don't much pay attention other than to try to smoke a few half bowls in a new pipe to completion before using them fully and regularly-...

    Where to Draw the Line on Cellar Size?

    Interesting philosophy. I do enjoy having a bit of a center seller. It's less than I thought when I counted. Maybe 50 tins total.

    Where to Draw the Line on Cellar Size?

    Sounds like a good system. I have my few unicorn blends I'm hunting, see about me; I'm mostly only buying those until I use* up some of my tins.

    What are You Reading Now?

    I just finished a new science fiction short story called Inversion by Aric McBay. It was interesting, short, but complete. "On a mysterious green planet renewed by fire, vibrant collectivist communities have long lived in harmony with both its strange ecosystem and each other—until the day...

    Where to Draw the Line on Cellar Size?

    All thoughtful replies. I feel validated in my cellar. I'm sure some would call it excessive, and others a good start.

    Reviving this thread.. I'm in concord, but would love a few folks to smoke with and shoot the breeze.

    Where to Draw the Line on Cellar Size?

    Darn autocorrect. My cellular had relatively little tobacco

    Where to Draw the Line on Cellar Size?

    Math was never my strongest subject. It's an average. Sometimes it's three days a week. Sometimes it's once a month. I just got carried away for a while there...

    Where to Draw the Line on Cellar Size?

    Edit title. Original: "Where to draw the line - my cellular may be too full." Hello! This is more of a person to person opinion question: how often do you smoke compared to your stash? I smoke about twice a month, but have accumulated about 90 tins of tobacco. I'm happy to keep a bunch in...

    Need Mild Tobacco without Burley

    * edit! I thought I read WITH burley. Redburn is a strong burley blend. My mistake. I absolutely love Redburn, from C&D. Delicious worth very light topping but enough to be present and pleasant without getting even close to flavored territory. Anyone else enjoy it?

    That's awesome! So, do you print out the labels and just glue them on top or something? I really like it.

    Are those mason jars or smaller tins?

    Ebay

    Been there, then I found Etsy. It got worse. Now I'm trolling all of those and two Eastern European ebay equivalents. I need help. I could be your sponsor. That just means we share links with each other? Right?

    Open McClelland Question

    The answe is: yes. They were known to use excellent tobacco, as many sellers do now. But there were some years crops and suppliers that are no longer available, so that helps add to both rarity and desirability. I suppose the age on them also helps in some cases, because you know you're...

    Cellaring Aromatics

    I've been smoking my Foxx Hibernia blend with 4 years in it and it's gotten more fantastic. Though it's not an aero, 4 year mad Fiddler Flake is tops as well.
