    Not my grandfathers pipe...

    Invest the money to have them professionally restored and you'll treasure them for another lifetime, and following generations. And definitely don't let your mum anywhere near them this time! :lol: Congrats, Mr R :clap:

    A Conversation With A Mean Person

    I'll sweeten the deal by personally sending you a pipe when you quit, Mason. Dealer's choice, but you can't say no to that now can you? :wink:

    Nice selection you picked up there, kkss (i'm still trying to figure out a shorter nickname for you :oops: ). And I'll second the advice about the wide-mouth jars, definitely the way to go.

    DAMN UPS!!!!

    Breathe deep and have patience, brother...remember it's all about kicking back and taking things slowly. . . . Failing that, take out their kneecaps first, then beat them soundly about the head with that stupid brown scanner.

    Sheep are afraid of 26 world series wins in 39 appearances? :nana: And here I thought they were just a'scared of us Welshmen... :twisted:

    I've made a huge mistake (maybe).

    Plastic bags, even the heavy-duty ones, are good as a moisture barrier but not as a volatile molecule barrier--the molecules that account for aroma & flavor are small and clever enough to slip right on by. Eventually it all becomes tobacco-scented-melange.

    That's where my first pipe came from too! Around 1993...yeah, memory lane.

    Aging supplies

    As a general guide: 2 oz / 50g tins = pint Mason jars (16 oz) 4 oz / 100g = 1/2 quart (2 pints, 32 oz) jar Once you open a tin, your best bet is emptying it into the jar for a decent seal. If you're striving for aging, leave it in the tin; or if it's in bulk, seal it under sanitary...

    How do you prepare your plug tobacco?

    If your implements allow, I do recommend taking full-length slices at no greater a width than 1/16", for a fold and stuff preparation. Really remarkable commingling of bright and dark, particularly in a Dublin. EDIT: and yes, I have *way* too much time on my hands of late :lol:

    How do you prepare your plug tobacco?

    Yes and yes. Peeling the layers back will separate the different tobaccos, as these were blended in a very specific "sandwiched" order. I did this specifically to sample the blend's components, layer by layer; this was mainly for reviewing purposes. While it does not release the "full flavor"...

    Which tobacco to open next?

    Click on the word "Escudo" in my previous post, chispa :wink: I'll be updating that review soon with a review of the Cope's.

    I use the Lampe Berger if company comes over; otherwise I prefer to simmer the entire place in as much tobacco smoke as possible. :mrgreen:
