    Keeping Tins Fresh

    jpmcwjr, I just couldn't resist opening them. Kid in a candy-store sort of moment. All so different. The two that really have me excited are Balkan Sasieni and Mac Baren Vanilla Roll Cake, but I dig the tin notes of the whole batch. Mac Baren HH Old Dark Fired Ready Rubbed and Gold Block are...

    Keeping Tins Fresh

    python, I read your article. Thank you. I ruined a batch of great tobacco by over-humidifying it, creating mold. What a drag.

    Keeping Tins Fresh

    I just received my Christmas present in the mail: 8 tins! Of course I had to open them! Now to keep them fresh. I have no "cellar." I do have a cigar humidor which likely would fit them all. I am looking for suggestions. I'm sure the tins themselves will provide decently for quite some...

    I Hope in 2021, I Will... (Pipe Related)

    I'd like to have more smoking sessions like the one I just enjoyed in the garage: first, a catch-all blend of mild stuff in an absolutely huge Brog pipe (it is enormous); then Old Ironsides in an Armellini. Scotch blend to drink. A good book on the ethics of artificial intelligence (really). I...

    Smoking a Pipe at 36

    I started smoking in undergraduate college; never in public; so I guess we're talking 20. I saw an ad here with a young man smoking a pipe, so maybe a good sign. My grandfather was an all-day pipe smoker, which is why I tried it. The smell was all memories. These days, I can't imagine...

    First Pipe of the Day?

    I love smoking a huge bowl with a huge coffee - with chicory - in the morning, though this rarely happens. Incidentally, I buy pure chicory and blend with my coffee. The tin could be anything, depending on who will also take it in at some point second hand. I try to be kind.

    Fish Tank Bubble-Maker to Smoke a Pipe

    Yeah, I lived in a single room then, and it would fill with delicious smoke. My housemates actually envied it. I'm married with kiddo now, so I do my puffing outside. I've been considering the attic! On a side note, during a normal smoking session, after I puff out I inhale through my nose...

    Fish Tank Bubble-Maker to Smoke a Pipe

    EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) I used to use a fish-tank bubble machine to smoke pipes for me. I can't quite remember how I put it together, but it blew a slow stream of air which I directed into the bowl. Out came a gentle flow of smoke from the bit. I would do this when I...
