US Customs and FDA are Attacking Pipe Smokers
It's actually not an overreach per se. It is a customs tax issue and they are flagging pipes over a certain dollar amount for customs tax. I have only had the issue with pipes from Italy this year. But it happened twice and I owed an extra $450 total in fees/tax. I thought it was a FedEx issue...- npod

US Customs and FDA are Attacking Pipe Smokers
Please search for my recent posts on this topic. I have my last two orders from italy stopped by customs and additional fines/taxes added before release. It appears to be isolated to orders from Italy for some reason. We discuss this further in the prior posts, I just don't have time to search...- npod

Mylar And The Cellar
I have personal experience up to 2 years with no concerns and great aging in the tobacco. And I have personally seen >5-7 years aged tobacco in Mylar ziplocks at Pipe shows being opened with perfectly aged and moist tobacco. So I literally put my money and trust in to the system. Over the next...- npod

Mylar And The Cellar
But! I actually dislike storing tobacco with Mylar because it is cumbersome, difficult to stack, pain to track, and it takes a lot of time to do it right. I much much much prefer to store my tobacco in original tins. I have never had a a problem with this method and it is by far the easiest...- npod

Mylar And The Cellar
You can get Mylar ziplock pouches. Shown here are some samples of HU tobacco sent to me a long time ago in Mylar ziplock pouches. The tobacco stays very fresh for months/years. I like these VERY MUCH. I need to get some. You can see how much lighter they are compared to glass mason jars in the...- npod

Mylar And The Cellar
Sometimes I seal the tobacco in seal-a-meal or Food Saver bags first and then put in Mylar bags. Other times I just do Mylar alone, like with the Salty Dogs shown.- npod

Mylar And The Cellar
I spent the morning finishing up a few tobacco projects. Mainly putting away blends that were not sealed in tins. I also got around to sealing the PH Curly Blocks in Mylar bags. Since the new site makes posting pictures soooooooo easy, I thought it would helpful to show the process. I know that...- npod
