Which Pease blend has the best room note?
Most of the Pease blends I smoke are Lat heavy. Like Abingdon, Odyssey, Charing Cross, Westminster, etc. Pease is known for his Balkan and English blends. The room notes in these are ... how should I say it ... Heavy.- kashmir

A Tobacco Flavor Wheel
OK. Well, I stand corrected. Perhaps. But I still think pipe smoking is much too complicated to confine flavors to a simplistic flavor wheel. Too many variables involved. Greg Pease once said pipe tobacco flavors are infibately more complex than wine flavors - in that with the pipe, weather...- kashmir

A Tobacco Flavor Wheel
The thing about wines, coffee, teas, cigars, foods, and beverages in general, is that they are all not impacted by the vessel used to consume them. So a given wine will taste the same regardless of whether it is drunk from a $500 crystal glass from the 18th Century, or a coffee cup from Target...- kashmir

Jarring Question
Yeah, me too Les. Often wondered about that. It's a rare thing but I've found a few football shaped tins in my stash. It's like storing yogurt. It's alive, it is.- kashmir

Jarring Question
I've heard hot tap water for tobacco. Boiling may be too hot. But when you're your jarring jams and preserves, folks immerse the jars in near boiling to secure a seal upon cooling. In this case the caps are left on loose, then hand tightened upon cooling. Yeah, Cortez is right. Don't boil...- kashmir

Jarring Question
The nice thing about the water bath, tho, is the jars seal up a lot sooner and more uniformally. Might go back to it.- kashmir

Jarring Question
Yeah, I used to place my full quart jars in hot tap water for about 30 min., then sealing them up. But for the last few years, I just jar up without the hot water bath. I find that as the bacteria and yeasts go through aerobic fermentation and suck up all the free oxygen, and begin anaerobic...- kashmir
