    User Title Ladder - Part II

    Just curious what were the old tags before the current set up. Seems like everyone likes “part of the furniture”, what was it previously?

    Can I Use Open Tins for Storage or Move to Jars?

    I don’t jar my tobacco. I live in a generally mild climate with fairly ideal humidity. I have tins that are many years old that taste no different or even better than they did when I first opened them.

    Best of the berries?

    Country squire has their “blue ribbon” which is blueberry. If you have a friend in Germany, tabakhouse falkum in Miltenberg has a special blueberry blend.

    Best of the berries?

    Boswells raspberry cream is one of the best reviewed and very good. My favorite I’ve tried might be peach Melba from the country squire. Raspberry peach combo with pastry notes, really delightful,

    Balkan Sobriane & Esoterica; What's the Deal?

    You can still get McClellands for a “reasonable” price imo. If you bought a tin 25-30 years ago and asked someone to hold on to it for you until now, and they said “sure just give me a few dollars a year” I wouldn’t think that “comical”. So getting something amazing at that storage rate is...

    Tins and heat

    We are having an unusually warm October here in Northern California. And inevitably I somehow find myself on vacation and out of the house on the hottest days of the year. My garage is attached and I left the door open so it shares air with my house, which I have set to 77. I’m worried though it...

    Tinbids QC

    As I just finished my McChicken I realize I’m a man of varied tastes. I have Tyson nuggets and A5 Wagyu in my freezer, 100 point wine but also $15 Rose, a tin of original 759 but love my country squire kingsfoil and even had some half and half last night.

    Didn’t even know there was a vintage and rare cocaine market!

    Don’t tell my wife that lol. I’m sure you’re right but FOMO is real. I must say I do enjoy McClelland blends more than most. I’ve almost got everything I could ever want. Reading reviews and posts here are a huge driver of my mania. And I still get aggravated when I miss a small batch. I’m...

    Maybe it’s all much ado about nothing. I have a weird hang up about facts and data. When I see the wrong things published I think of all the poor souls being mislead. I mean think of the consequences of not knowing they made a 2023 brown sugar flake, could be life altering.

    Eh there’s only on average a few listings a day. Some days a dozen or so, some days none. I have time to read every listing in a few minutes and I’m the sucker giving them money.

    I’m more a storm in a cream bowl kinda guy myself, lol. I had to look that reference up actually, never heard it before today.

    Fair enough. I guess I just presumed like this site has moderators that check the listings, that retailers had the equivalent, or at least should.

    I wouldn’t have to chase it if people just gave them to me. So far no luck though, have to keep busting out the wallet for them ;).

    Easier said than done lol. Im very appreciative the site exists, bought many a thing from there. Plus im very irkable in general :).

    I know that they can’t be responsible for the quality of what their consignors end up shipping, but I feel like they have some responsibility to at least make sure the posts are accurate. I’ve seen a few that irked me, for example someone saying that they had the “complete” Frog Morton set with...

    Pipe Shop in Salzburg, Austria

    I got my Prammer morta pipe there while my wife and I celebrated our 1st year anniversary. We were there Dec. 22-26 at the height of the Christmas Market. Maybe the best 5 days of our lives. Thanks for the bringing back some good memories!
