Made the Switch...
I’m sure it’s not a big deal for a lot of you, but it was pretty exciting for me. I was lured back into pipe smoking after smelling someone smoking one a few weeks ago. I bought a bunch of aros because they seemed fun. As I’m sure most of you are aware, there was a bit of a letdown when they...- BarrelProof

So I’m two bowls back into this hobby and I’m already feeling quite a bit more accomplished than when I used to smoke a pipe and never really did anything to learn about the process. As I said in my intro thread, I used to just cram as much tobacco into a bowl as I could fit, light it 38 times...- BarrelProof

Cellaring Tobacco - Mason Jar Labels
Good Afternoon, I’ve seen a lot of photos in my research where people appear to have the tops of the tin as the lid of their mason jar. It doesn’t seem like this is what is actually happening. However, it also seems unreasonable to be cutting the tins apart and affixing them to the Mason jar...- BarrelProof
