Tins in a Plastic Jar? Your Thoughts...
Curious what the more experienced folks think of this storage method. I'm not looking to age anything. I just want to stay fresh until I get around to smoking it again. Would storing a bunch of tins together in a plastic jar like this cause them to contaminate each other once they are opened?- Recon Paul

What Are These Blends?
Went to a local B&M today. Cigar shop of course. They have a collection of bulk jars on the wall and a pretty decent selection of pipes as well. From what I can tell by the names, the blends are mostly Sutliff bulk or similar stuff like tobacco Galleria. Some however, say Lighthouse (name of...- Recon Paul

New To Me Pipe Rack
She didn't even really know what it was. She was at the local Goodwill and saw it. It was $2.50. She brought it home and said "I thought you might be able to use this as a pipe rack. Do you think it will work?" "Why yes! It happens to be a pipe rack." I needed one and it's the perfect...- Recon Paul

Tin Flake vs. Bulk Ready Rubbed
You can buy 2 OZ of RR bulk cheaper than a 1.75 OZ tin. Is there an advantage to buying tobacco in a tin if you aren't going to cellar it for an extended period of time before opening it? I guess if you want to fold and stuff it?- Recon Paul

Dark Fired Kentucky
First, what leaf is usually used for fire curing? Is it burley? Does it vary? I recently got a bulk OZ of HH Old Dark Fired and I am burning through it quickly. Love it. I got a few non-aro samples to learn more about flavors. The DFK made me enjoy DH Ready Rubbed more, because I now taste...- Recon Paul

English Blend vs Latakia Blend
When you refer to a "Latakia blend" are you talking about any blend with some lat in it, or one where it is dominant/not a condiment?- Recon Paul

Pipe Tobacco's Greatest Hits?
What are the must-know/must-try tobaccos for beginners? Not personal favorites. Just the heavy hitters with which everyone should be familiar. I think it would be a good list to compile. As an analogy, if someone had zero knowledge of Rock 'n' Roll and wanted to learn, you would give them...- Recon Paul

Cheap Briars
I have 3 briars. All cost $30 or less. Two are from crown and they are of significantly different quality despite being the same price. I assume this is because one is from a higher end line of pipes than the other? How is Crown's overall reputation compare to Dr. Grabow? Folks always...- Recon Paul

New Jersey Noob
Been smoking for a few months now. Experimenting with starter pipes, cobs, and lower cost pipes to get a feel for what I like. So far I like short or at least light weight pipes. Interested in cost effective options for expanding my collection. Similarly looking to expand my tobacco...- Recon Paul
