    Final Seal on Mason Jar

    Just screw the lid on and be done with it. Nothing else is necessary if the lid is tight. Leave a little air in the jar as it is necessary for proper aging. Don't pack the jar too tight. Just a light pressure to get air out of it and not heavy pressure. C&D never vacuum seals their tins...

    Tip On Making the Tobacco You Don't (Can't) Smoke Smokable

    Greatstakes, To answer your question, if you have aromatic blends you enjoy and want to cut, simply call C&D and order yourself up some unflavored Black Cavendish Blending Tobacco and mix it in to your satisfaction level. It will smooth it out and the problem may be solved...

    Cleaning Jars For Storage

    I only use mason jars. If previously used, I rinse and dry them. Otherwise, out of the box, I load the tobacco and twist the cap on tight. That's it! End of story. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

    Please Send Us Your Own Home Made Blends

    All I can say is a digital scale is best. And, always write down what you did because you will not remember! Work with small amounts such as an ounce of this and an ounce of that. It cuts down on your rejects...

    Etiquette or Selfconciousness?

    I agree with the above posts. I have given away many pipes to newbies. All have been excellent smoking pipes and not rejected pipes by me. We can inspire and contribute to a new pipe smoker. In fact, this Forum is probably the best favor we could give to a new pipe smoker...

    My First Bowl After Surgery

    Harris, I wish you a speedy recovery. On that note, the best physical rehab for me was and is a two mile walk on the tread-mill every morning whilst I puff on a favorite blend! Try it and keep it a secret. It does work. I have many years of success to prove the theory. Don't try to sell...

    Not a Huge VaPer Fan, But...

    Caution! My CBB is a Va/Per? Not really. 32% Red Virginia and 8% Perique and it is a light English aromatic, Latakia content is 10%. Not for the Purist of Va/Per. However, several Va/Per smokers have told me it is a great alternate. My point? Consider any light English aromatic containing...

    Etiquette or Selfconciousness?

    I am an ancient pipe smoker of 50 years. I am age 63. I always bought cheap pipes, smoked them until they broke! About ten years ago I discovered that I wanted a modest Artisan pipemaker for my pipes. I put him to the test and now own 16 of his pipes. I would not have it any other way. This...

    How Did You Choose Your Pipe?

    I only buy Artisan pipes. Personally, I have 16 pipes made for me by Bob Hayes. He stands behind his pipes 100%. The cost is very reasonable. I spend from $200 to $350 for a pipe. The fact that I have 16 pipes from Bob Hayes should tell you that I am very pleased with his work and all of...

    Your Thoughts?

    I dedicate pipes to specific blends and/or very similar blends. After every smoke, I use a pipe cleaner and then remove it to allow it to rest and air dry. I rotate 16 pipes and smoke a lot. I also use a dull pipe knife to clean the bowl after each smoke. Have enough pipes and follow what I...

    How Often Do You Alcohol Clean?

    I have not found it necessary to regularly use alcohol on my pipes. It is rare for me. Only when a pipe is neglected do I recommend it. In my case I have 16 pipes in regular rotation and they are dedicated to specific blends. I always use a pipe cleaner and dull pipe knife after every smoke...

    How to Take Tobacco With You

    I use a Day-Zipper-Pouch. Maybe four or five bowls max. Then, at night, I put it back into the air-tight container. I never leave tobacco in a pouch over-night. For trips over-night, (on the road) I carry the tobacco blends in the small mason-jar type jars often picture on this Forum. In...

    Crossover Aromatics

    Captain Bob's Blend (C&D) is a Light English Aromatic. However, the term "cross-over" can be confusing to pipesmokers. It all depends on where you are wanting to be eventually. So, with that said I would not recommend my blend as a "cross-over". Rather it is an aromatic that does contain...
