Things I Found Thrifting/Garage Sailing/Antiquing
Went garage saleing this morning and found these 2 large glass jars. They will each hold one gallon and appear to be unused. Perfect for long term storage of bulk tobacco. I didn't really need them, but at $1 each I couldn't resist. (pipe not included) puffy- Searock Fan

What Was Your First "I Gotta Buy 5 Pounds of This Stuff!" Tobacco?
My first was PS English Oriental Supreme. Since then I've purchased 5 lb. bags of other PS English blends. Don't expect to be buying any more soon as I figure my current tobacco stash will hold me for at least the next 5 years. puffy- Searock Fan
