    What's Your Cellar Age Sweet Spot?

    Really depends on the blend. PS LBF, LNF, and Cube Cut benefit from a couple of years aging. Black Frigate, Quiet Nights, and PS english blends are great fresh. Most "plug" blends I like to leave for at least a year for the flavors to "meld" a bit.

    Anyone Ever Smoked Sumac?

    With Staghorn Sumac the new growth has a "fuzz" on it hence the name. Poison Sumac the leaves are very similar to Staghorn but with the new growth the stems are smooth.

    Regular Rotation?

    I have 10-12 jars in my rotation. Usually around 3 latakia blends, a couple of VaPers, a Virginia, a plug, a couple burley based blends and an aromatic or 2. That way whenever the mood strikes I have something right at hand.

    Rodent Abatement: What's Your Preferred Method?

    Mama and her 2 grown kittens take care of our rodent issues. Living in a old farmhouse plenty of mice move in when it starts to get cold out. That's when the 3 way soccer games start with the mouse "volunteering" to be the ball.

    Dedicating Pipes for Types of Tobacco?

    Some blends really sing in certain pipes. I have a cob dedicated to Black Frigate and another for Crooner for this reason. Frequently I have several pipes for latakia blends and others for virginias or burleys. Experiment and see what works for you.
