    Big Troubles Keeping Tobbacco in Good Condition - Help!

    @Cosmic : In fact, the pipe i've used for testing the Nigthcap was used that morning with another blend. So it only rested 8 hours or so, maybe that caused the strange flavour? Thank you for the answer! @artificialme : How much time was it opened before you started jarring? It had the same...

    Big Troubles Keeping Tobbacco in Good Condition - Help!

I'm glad to join this great community, hope to make at least some little contribution helping other newbies if i can, and, as a newbie...
