**CHALLENGE** Building a cellar of quality bulk tobaccos for $250.
Let's see what you got. I stumbled across a similar thread from several years ago which had the price at $200, but am curious to see what most of you would choose. Being over by a few bucks is fine...- JRW11b

To Rub or Not to Rub?
I have a 1/2lb of PS400 Superior Navy Flake coming in. I'd like to set aside a small bit to taste right off the bat and wish to cellar the rest away, as I understand it will do much better with some age on it. Upon your recommendations, should I store it as is, or rub it out and store it? Any...- JRW11b

The Dedicated Pipe Dilemma
I have a savinelli 673 and a MM Legend. The Savinelli has seen nothing but English blends since I got it last week. Do most of you find it necessary to dedicate a certain pipe to specific blends? Will the flavor of the old dark Birdseye I just got be diminished if smoked from the Sav? I guess...- JRW11b

Dear English blend lovers,
What are some non English blends to a new pipe smoker who has definitely taken a liking to English blends. I love the full bodied, earthy, woody, smoky profile I get from them. However, I'm looking for something also full bodied, but without the latakia, smoky note. Thank you in advance!- JRW11b
