Warm Tobacco Storage Conditions
Summer has well and truly started with this December already earmarked to be the hottest December on record here in Perth, Western Australia. With multiple 40 C (104F) days in a row and no aircon in our house, I’m a bit worried that my tobacco is no longer stored in cool and dark conditions...- tobefrank

Condensation Inside Mason Jar
I have a small mason jar with samples of Bourbon Bleu that I’ve had for a while. The inside of the glass seems to have some form of residue or condensation on it.

I have mainly been smoking VAs, VA/Pers and mild English blends like McClelland Wilderness. I have a jar of Solani Aged Burley Flake that I smoke the occasional bowl of.

Le Petit Robin - Hydrate Y/N?
I bought some Tabac Manil Le Petit Robin the other day. It was very dry when I unwrapped it and very crumbly (almost dusty). I feel it might be drier than intended considering that the relative humidity in my area is about 20% lower than the humidity in the Semois Valley in Belgium. I was...- tobefrank

Mid-Bowl Top-up
I was having my first smoke of Escudo in a new pipe the other day. The bowl was just big enough to fit about a coin and a half using the cube cut method followed by a gravity fill. I decided to set aside the other half coin for later. About halfway through the bowl the pipe went out and I...- tobefrank
