    Tobacco Field Visits?

    If you want to see how Kentucky Dark fired is done. Drew Estate has a barnsmoker cigar event in Kentucky and they go through the process. It is a cigar event but you eat lunch in the barn with tobacco overhead and they take you into a barn where they are actually smoking the dark fired.

    What is the Best Tip or Advice You've Ever Gotten About Smoking a Pipe?

    Do not worry about relighting. If it goes out just relight. Trying to keep it going by puffing like crazy is a recipe for disaster.

    Cigar Smoker looking for Pipe Tabacco

    I did the same years ago and could never replicate cigar taste with pipe tobacco. Although I think some of the cigar blends have some of that flavor. I found that pipe tobacco is much different and there is much more to explore, IMO. If you like any of the Kentucky Dark fired cigars like the...

    Empty Space in Jar

    I would think the difference in that amount of air would be minimal either way. Although more oxygen in the jar in my opinion would age it quicker. Most anything oxygen is in contact with ages it quicker. I am just not sure whether that would be good or bad. Then we get into the anaerobic...

    Louisville-Kentucky- Area

    I do not know of a Pipe Club that meets in Louisville, but it would be nice. There is a facebook group, Derby City Mortise & Tenon Club, though posts have been sparse lately. I live in southern Indiana near Louisville. It would be great if we could get some people together.

    New Corncob Questions

    I also chisel out the wood shank and then pipe mud up to the draft hole. I think the cobs smoke better this way and I do not get the foul burning wood taste when they are new that way.

    Cellar App/Logging

    I use a spreadsheet and have it in Dropbox so I can access it from anywhere. The question is what does everyone's spreadsheets layout look like? Do you keep cost, and how do you track amounts on hand once a tin is opened?

    Pipe Travel Case/Pouch Recommendations

    I think the Everett Burley pipe roll is a good option if you want to carry just two pipes and accessories. This is mine with one pipe, and a pipe stand in the other spot that a pipe could go.

    Wood at the Bottom of Missouri Meerschaum Bowls

    I think chiseling out the shank in the bowl and adding pipe mud works great. I did it to all for of my MM's and they smoke wonderfully. I like them even more. It is extremely easy with a sharp chisel and does not take long. I recommend it if you do not like the burning wood taste you sometimes...
