    Mason Jar Lids

    Thanks guys. Cosmic, it's not price that's the problem.... It's avaialbailty. In Australia, I haven't been able to source the lids readily. And, I was also keen to hear what option others had on the matter. How often would you be changing the lids? Every time you empty a jar? Or earlier than that?

    Mason Jar Lids

    All the literature on Ball jars suggest that the lids are one time use only. Now, I realise that this is prudent advice when used in a food preserving application, and specifically when sealed with the heated jar method.... But what are your thoughts when used for tobacco storage that's in your...

    McClelland Panic

    It's interesting, as I want to avoid the stampede and let it run straight past me...... But, in the eyes of the bystander further back, I appear to have joined the stampede. It's all a matter of where you are viewing the carnage from. I watched a couple of blends I really enjoy disappearing and...

    Well, they sell through approx 500 tins a week, so I'd suggest Sykes knows it makes good sense to keep well stocked up.

    A Latakia Love Story, What`s Yours?

    Nightcap was my first. And I've loved it ever since. But there are also so many other brilliant blends as well, with Maltese Falcon being an absolute gem. I find the Frog Mortons reasonably nice, but a bit to light on, with a subtle nuance and lacking in 'oomph' I've never found a Latakia...

    Welcome mate. I haven't been here long myslef but can vouch for this group of folk as genuinely nice and fun people to be around. I would love to get into tobacco growing - my parents, and their families had commercial tobacco farms in Italy.... But I definitely don't need another hobby /...

    Regardless of tastes, preferences and opinions.... I think it's brilliant that this is somewhat readily available! In a time when global forces are uniting against tobacco consumption in all its forms - it is encouraging to be able to buy a high grade pipe tobacco at an affordable price. When...

    I think it's the Bitcon effect, Cosmic......the fear of missing out, combined with a bit of hysteria - it's a recipe for empty shelves and big monthly credit card statements.

    Back in.... I sent an email curious to see if it's dated 2017 or 2018. I'll report back when they advise. Price has also gone up a fraction. Every time they restock, it creeps up. Fair enough though.... capitalism is king.

    Thanks again, Gents - really appreciate it. @sablebrush52 Thanks so much for the hospitality and 'invitation'. I've spoken to my cigar travel buddies (who aren't pipe smokers, yet, and we are now trying to plan an itinerary that will allow the weekend of the 10th and 11th November to have us...

I've been a lover of the leaf for half my life (currently 43 years old), however only very recently took up...
