    Allowed Amount of Tobacco in Europe

    I'm not asking how to get over the fees.. Yes. On Smokingpipes.com there are many, many of tobaccos. I was not asking for tin tobacco, though, but bulk tobacco. I'm gonna have to try it myself then :-) I was just curious, because the fee is ridiculously high..

    Allowed Amount of Tobacco in Europe

    Just a quick question for pipe smokers from Europe. I live in the Czech Republic and here you can buy only 1.75Oz of tobacco, if the tobacco goes from a non EU country, when you don't want to pay high fees. I would like to buy some bulk tobacco from Smokingpipes.com, but their options are...

    Tobacco Aging

    Thank you!Tobacco can age in an unopened tin then, but aren't some tins vacuum sealed? How can I find out if they are?

    Tobacco Aging

    I've read a few articles and watched a few videos on how to seal pipe tobacco in a jar so it could age. Most of the videos were about vacuum sealing the jar, which is a nonsense. So my question is. How do you seal the jar? I could just fill it with tobacco, screw the lid and let it rest in a...

    Tobacco Family x Components

    I will let it rest in the jar and try it a few months later then.

    Tobacco Family x Components

    Unfortunately I cannot order more than 1.75 oz because of enormous fees.. Well, I'll maybe try to order one 2oz tin and see what happens. I have H&H's White Knight and C&D's Star of the East.. Tin 1.75oz plus 1oz. Don't really know what will I do with it. I don't want to throw it away but I...

    Tobacco Family x Components

    Thank you very much! I've got one more question. I just wanna be sure. If I read well enough, orientals are sun cured and Latakia is smoked. I don't like that smoky taste at all. So oriental tobacco without latakia will neither taste nor smell like smoke, right? I already know that Latakia is...

    Tobacco Family x Components

    I think I mostly understand.. Mostly.. I'm still a little bit confused, though. It might be just a detail, but I'll try. If the tobacco has as a family Virginia and as a component burley it means that the Virginia is the base component of the tobacco and has a smaller amount of burley mixed...

    Tobacco Family x Components

    I've started this hobby a few months ago and I picked up a few tins of tobacco without even knowing more about the tobacco components or families.. Yesterday I was watching one of Muttnchop's videos where he was talking about tobacco components and I finally found out more about why I don't...

    A little bit burned

    This is gonna be probably a really, really stupid question, but.. Do you actually taste the flavor of the tobacco in your mouth? Or is it more like you smell it when it's coming out? :oops: I'm so confused

    A little bit burned

    Thank you for welcoming me and for the advices! I clean the pipe properly after each smoke and trying not to burn the rim. I'm experiencing a tongue bite every time I relight the tobacco, though. Gonna try Capstan blue today. I used to be a non-smoker so I have to take it easy. :-)

    A little bit burned

    Thank you! I think it was so much tobacco just because of the way I tried to pack it. I just folded the flake and packed it somehow. I'll try to rub it next time! Also when the pipe is not yet broken in should I gently clean the bowl after each smoke or just let the tiny amount of carbon to sit...

    A little bit burned

    With every smoked bowl comes another question. Sure there are many answers for this but you guys are so nice. And I don't want to make another topic for it. When I pack my pipe with tobacco I light it up, smoke as slow as I can relight it a couple of times if necessary but at the end of the bowl...

    The pipe is based on Gimli's pipe from The Lord of The Rings.

    A little bit burned

    To light my pipe I use Kiribi kabuto short. I've ordered an aromatic though. CAO's Eileen's dream. But I really can't wait to try the Luxury twist because the aroma of it is just great. It makes me wonder how can Virginia tobacco smell that nice.

    Great! So I got it wrong again. Now I can peacefuly enjoy them all. Thank you!

    A little bit burned

    One more advice, please. I have 3 tobaccos. Hearth & Home WhiteKnight, Capstan flake blue and Bulk tobacco - Peter Stokkebye Luxury Twist flake. I tried only H&H Whiteknight because it's Latakia and oriental based tobacco which should burn cooler than straight virginia that is naturaly very...

    A little bit burned

    The bowl is from Calabrian briar and the stem is from Oak.

    A little bit burned

    Thank you very much! I tried to gather as much information as I could before I ordered the pipe and took up pipe smoking and I was really afraid of breaking it in. I will try to keep calm a bit.
