Familiarty Breeds Contemp vs Variety is the Spice
My tendency is to jump from blend to blend throughout the day. It takes an effort for me to finish an open tin (or jar) even of blends I quite enjoy, before opening something new. Sometimes it's a pattern such as Burley first thing in the morning. Va/VaPer later in the day. Latakia/Oriental at...- UncleRasta

Newbie Update: For No Particular Reason
Hi All. I'm now just shy of half a year in on this pipe smoking thing. Just like that, I now own 10 MM corn cob pipes, 3 hardwoods from the same company, and three briars.

Is Jarring a One-Time Thing?
I'm still coming to grips with terms and concepts related to pipes and tobacco so please help redirect me if my presumptions are erroneous. I think that both, saving an unopened tin for far future consumption, and, decanting tobacco from tin to jar for the future, are forms of cellaring. If...- UncleRasta

Your Friendly Local Tobacconist
Greetings All, I'm interested to know how forumites(?) strike a balance between supporting local tobacconists and maximizing potential savings online.

Introducing Uncle Rasta
Greetings all. Living in Monterey California and learning ember management. I bought a horrible (pipe-shaped) contraption from a local headshop a little over a month ago, but my journey feels more underway now after receiving an order of corn cobs. Both excited and slightly intimidated about...- UncleRasta
