    I think that is the plan! Believe me, I took my fair share but there is SO MUCH tobacco in there, and I added a good deal back to it. It really is an embarrassment of riches. I think all of you guys are going to be very happy.

    Reverse Calabash Cob

    I've been doing that for years.

    Reverse Calabash Cob

    I guess I don't understand what you're saying/asking. He clearly stated that once MM started marketing pipes for marijuana use he threw ALL of his MM stuff in the trash. I don't remember him ever stating that there was a quality issue with the pipes themselves.

    Okay everyone, I've made my selections and I hope to get the box in the mail this evening. If not, I will send it out first thing Monday morning. I took a lot of samples out of that box but.........I'm sorry to report that the box is still overweight and in need of a much more drastic weight...

    Bad Taste In The Morning

    If this is a problem for you, I would caution against smoking Sam's Black XX twist prior to bed. It works very well for me and sends me off to sleep in a nicotine induced euphoria, but you will likely still taste it the next morning.

    Bad Taste In The Morning

    I guess I've just accepted this as a byproduct of smoking. If I wake up with a bad taste in my mouth, I just fire up another bowl and wash it all down with a few mugs of steaming black coffee, lol. In all seriousness, perhaps smoking something lighter in the evening may help or maybe abstain...

    Reverse Calabash Cob

    I can't remember what I had for breakfast. Did I even have breakfast?

    Reverse Calabash Cob

    Didn't Embers discontinue his use of MM products? I seem to remember that he had thrown them all in the trash? Perhaps I'm mistaken. I smoke cobs quite a bit and wouldn't mind having one but the $50 price tag is too steep for me.

    If at First…

    I find that it is wise to smoke at least 2 ounces before trying to form an opinion on a blend.

    There are probably 6-7 empty mylar bags still left in the box. Will likely need more soon. Thanks for your generosity.

    Question to the forum, where does one find mylar storage bags locally? Like, can you find them at Wal-Mart? Dollar General? I actually went to Wal-Mart last night (which is akin to having my teeth pulled out with a pair of rusty pliers) and was unable to find any.

    @woodsroad So you're suggesting that I should just keep the box and go MIA? Just kidding! I do think there is wisdom in your counsel. I'm not greedy by nature and I like to give more than I receive, but by any assessment, this box is very full. There are some great blends here and I will do my...

    Packing jars too tightly?

    Bingo. I’m in it for the long haul. Much tobacco needs to be stored and space is at a premium. I pack em tight.

    There are several empty mylar bags included in the box but I'm going to pick up an extra pack tonight and leave them in the box for when I ship it to the next recipient. It appears that most folks have been giving more than there taking and at this rate, it's going to be hard to fit anymore...

    Packing jars too tightly?

    I pack the daylights out of mine. So far, so good. If anything, it will turn a ribbon cut into a crumble cake after a few years.

    The best way I can describe this box is it's like Christmas morning for pipe smokers. In 30+ years of pipe smoking, somehow I've never tried Ennerdale Flake. This stuff is like the tobacco version of crack! Very tasty.

    Gentlemen, I am overwhelmed! I counted 59 different blends in the box. Many are very rare and difficult to obtain. Goodness gracious. The generosity within this group is amazing! I will try my best to add some unique blends to the mix. Thanks to all who contributed.
