    Starting A Cellar

    So, I have been smoking a pipe for a year now, my question would be this, if I wanted to start cellaring Tinned Tobacco that would age well and possibly even go up in value, what would I buy? I already have a ton of tobacco for my smoking, just thinking of getting into tins big time.

    Reason To Inhale??

    Had a visit with the evil scientist today (Doctor) and she informed me, that pipe smoking has an increased incidence of oral, throat, larynx, gum and nasal cancer. I told her I use to smoke a pack of cigs a day and now only smoke 4 bowls a day on average. She said less was better but the way...

    Borkum Riff New Blends

    I noticed on one of the banners here that they are offering coupons to try their new blends for $1 per pouch. Man I would love to get some of that, but it appears only available to us residents?

    Gotta Love Canada?

    Well, it happened, I believe my 17th or 18th order since starting up this hobby in February. 7.5 OZ ordered, just under $20 CAN, $12 shipping. Yep, you guessed it, the ole Duty Dog bit me, $96 extra charges in Duty. Needless to say, the Post Office is now one proud owner of 7.5 OZ of Aromatic...

    Want To Smoke Or Need To Smoke

    After 3 months on the pioe and 1 full month with nary a cigarette I have a question for all vitamin n addicts. Do you need the pipe at certain times, similar to cravings for cigs or are you all mainly smoking out of habit or only when you have the time to enjoy the quiet and a full bowl?

    Collector Tins

    I am curious why tobacco companies are not marketing special blends in special tins. As I see it, this hobby is as much about smoking as it is cellering. Imagine some fine blend in a special limited edition tin that was only available for a certain time frame. Truns ales on these I expect would...

    Aros and Aging

    I am confused, I have read numerous posts about Aro's not getting any better, yet a blend like McClellands Christmas Cheer says "grows more flavourful as it ages" ? Huh?

    Bobs Chocolate Flake

    I have read many reviews on various brands and noticed some talking of a soap taste. I was skeptical of this until I smoked the above. Wow, I taste zero chocolate and major soap. I guess the tin I have unopened will go in my next box pass. Gross stuff to my tastes.

    Tins vs Bulk

    Is tinned tobacco considered superior to bulk? And what are all the members doing with their tins after they are empty? :-)

    Bottom of Bowl

    When I am where I am to the end, or what I think the end of the bowl, when I tap it or use tool to remove it, there is a lil plug of dark tobacco at the bottom. Is that common or am I simply not smoking it to the end enough?

    Non Aro's?

    I am curious if there are certain blends out there, while not being an aromatic, that do have sweet or some other flavour. I have been smoking mainly Aro's the past 4 weeks, completely off cigs after a pack a day. I just got in some old dark fired, upon opening the tin, I find the smell to be...

    Lanes LL7
