    Remedies for a Straight Billiard that Collects a Lot of Moisture?

    How do I repack an opened loose pipe tobacco?

    If stored in a cool dark location, closet, there isn't any difference between mylar or mason jars. If using ziplock bags be sure to use the freezer bags instead of the sticky\orage bags. Freezer bags have thicker walls.

    Cellaring tobacco - questions

    First absolute is that their are very few absolutes. My experience has been that aromatics start loosing flavor after 2 to 5 years of cellaring. Straight VA's, Cavendish & Burley's or blends either collared or stoved(another can of worms) seem to have an indefinite storage life. Always use many...

    Burnout ? What should I Do ?

    General rule of thumb is to ream / sand back to near or to bare wood before salt treatment. The pipe started life as bare wood and can restart from bare wood again.

    Had a Tin Lose its Seal

    All of my tins are round and although only have a dozen or so they are just fine after 10+ years. I tend to gravitate to bulk tobaccos stored in pint mason jars and have probably 75 t 80 over 25 years old that are stable and fantastic when opened. Just my experience...

    Not Cleaning the Pipe as Thoroughly

    I have heard of smokers successfully washing/rinsing briar without any ill effects. For me, wood is wood and the only time I mix water and wood is to raise the grain for final sanding. Whatever works for you ix fantastic. I choose the more conservative path and we both enjoy our favorite...
