    Burning out every pipe I own

    Get rid of the tequila and honey. I've broken in hundreds of pipes, never a problem. I just load the pipe and smoke it as usual. Change things around. Definitely quit the tequila. Use a bic. Dry your tobacco more, pack looser. Pipes simply aren't that fragile, you either had the worst run of...

    Opening A Tin? Show Us!

    Just opened. The 40th will breathe for 4 to 6 weeks before smoking. Takes that long to dry out to a reasonable level, at least for me. I keep 2 Sir John's Flake Virginia tins open in advance, just started a new tub that had been breathing today.

    Dedicated Pipes

    The more dedicated you can be, the more you'll enjoy the blend. At present, I only smoke Sir John's Flake Virginia in my Altinok each morning. I've gotten to where I mostly smoke an entire tin from the same pipe after opening it. I've found significant benefits to this approach.

    This Could be Mega-Bad

    Not to trivialize your damage but relatively minor to what it could have been if that hurricane hadn't veered South by 25 miles. Happy you're okay.

    This Could be Mega-Bad

    Kind of but I had to prepare as if it would be as bad or worse than anticipated. We ended sustaining some minor property damage but nothing inside the house. And the best news (aside from being alive that is), zero damage to my pipes and tobacco cellar. Cell and internet service was out this...
