    Out Of Stock...

    Leaving aside the actual product of pipe tobacco, it probably makes complete marketing sense for online retailers to keep out of stock, discontinued and obsolete products (even 'coming soon' products) listed on a retailers website, at least while its still something customers search for...

    How to Store Pipe Tobacco

    I use these jars, no idea if it has advantages/disadvantages over other jars, its just what kind the wife bought when she wanted to serve Christmas dinner dessert in a different container & I said I need some jars for tobacco when you're finished with them The rubber seal and clip lock seems to...

    Cellar/Cellaring Nomenclature

    Its clear why that chap would refer to it as a cellar/cellaring especially as his primary aim would seem to be about aging/flavours etc rather than the hoarding style of bulk buying or preferential tax/tax avoidance and equally easy to see why the naming convention would catch on for any/all...

    Cellar/Cellaring Nomenclature

    You mean a kind of DeadPool where this guy turns up at the door about a week after we've been planted (although I assume all pipe smokers are actually getting cremated, first with char-light then... well you get the picture) anyway DP is all dressed up in his UPS shorts & clipboard in hand etc...

    Cellar/Cellaring Nomenclature

    Bit of a newb Q but having not heard it in this context before joining this site I’m curious as to the history/logic that led to ‘cellar & cellaring’ being commonly used to describe keeping a range or quantity of pipe tobacco. If I was asked to describe it before joining I guess I’d have said...

    What Do You Re-Purpose

    ...or adapt or whatever word you want to use, for your pipe smoking, pipes or tobacco? Inspired by the tamper thread and all the different things folks use to tamp down I'm sure there will be a wider collection of items designed for something else that you guys n gals have transformed into a...

    The Black Swan Shoppe - Wakefield England

    Would it be economical to order tobacco at UK prices given what it sells at in each country?

    I don’t actually have any purpose built tamper yet (maybe Santa will remember me next year) Golf tees are my go to tool for the job, they seem to work well enough, this is what was in the car just now:

    Blending Results - First Attempt

    I have no idea if what I did was remotely like blending (it probably wasn’t) About 3 weeks back I had some cherry aro that was a bit overpowering for my taste, I threw all 100g of it in a tupperware box with about 50-60g of a cheap rum & maple I had that I thought was a bit bland (& because...

    OK Everyone. Enough Is Enough

    Thanks, so people are rarely cellaring for any kind of aging/fermentation process. Many are storing kilo after kilo, pound after pound of the stuff based on availability &/or tax/cost savings they can currently exploit
