    Is it Necessary to Cellar Tins Into Jars?

    Thanks for the responses, everyone. Quick follow-up question: do you need to store the jars in a dark place? I assume the answer is yes, but just want some confirmation. Thanks again!

    First Pipe Tobacco Order

    Ive just been trying to sample as much as possible. I started by ordering a tin of Peterson's EMP(which quickly became a favorite), a tin of C&D Awakened Elder(which was a bit rough at first, but certainly has a smokey/earthy flavor I've grown to enjoy a lot), and a tin of Sutliff Barbados...

    Is it Necessary to Cellar Tins Into Jars?

    EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) - Bob Sorry for all the questions! I just found out about this forum and haven't had anyone to ask until now! I was told by the guy who got me into smoking that any time I open a tin I should immediately jar it or it'll likely dry out and not...

    What are Some Classic Tinned Tobaccos to Try?

    I have been curious about the MacBaren 7 Seas blends. I managed to get ahold of the MacBaren Burley they did a little while ago and found it enjoyable, but wasn't sure where to go from there, and considering how many different tins they have available, I wasn't sure where to start. The black...

    Just Bought My First Briar

    It's a Kaywoodie Birkshire, bent apple. I've just ordered it, so I'm still waiting for it to arrive. I'll be sure to post some pictures of it as soon as it gets here, though. Thanks for the advice! I've been told conflicting things about it, so I actually haven't been too sure about what sorts...

    What are Some Classic Tinned Tobaccos to Try?

    EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) - Bob I was started off on some Dunhills and I purchased some Esoterica and Peterson blends. I also know that Samuel Gawith and Germain are ones to keep an eye out for. But as far the sort of thing that will be readily available aside from C&D...

    Just Bought My First Briar

    It's new/unsmoked. My first pipe was a Missouri Meerschaum, which being a $6 pipe, I am not to concerned about having possibly ruined, but since I actually spent money on this one, I want to make sure I break it in well and don't do some sort of irreversible damage on it. Also, should I save my...

    I Like Paper Pipe And Tobacco Catalogs

    I agree with this sentiment entirely. I've gotten a P&C catalog before, but would love to find some more places that offer them.

    1999 Tin FVF, Smoke or Sell?

    This is my take on it as well. Just put aside a couple oz and age it for another 10 years, then you'll know if you made the right call or not.

    ***What Are You Smoking? February 2020.***

    Got my hands on a few tins of Esoterica. I've been enjoying the Pembroke sometimes, but my go-to has been Peterson's Early Morning Pipe. Would love to try the Dunhill version some day.
