    Pretty Sure I Made a Bad Drunk Mistake

    I did get married in Vegas, but it was not near that much fun.

    Pretty Sure I Made a Bad Drunk Mistake

    I did have to heavily edit that post, before posting, as I did this post. hahahah

    Pretty Sure I Made a Bad Drunk Mistake

    Long story short (and still long!): Went to a brunch, drank a lot plus went to follow on bar. At brunch, talked to fellow pipe enthusiast about a scotch brand doing a promo nearby. Scotch on brain, get home and open a tin of Robert McConnell Sottish Flake I bough in 2020, but is old enough...

    Storing Tobacco

    Thank you all for your support. I was pretty sure it would last, but I wanted to be sure. It is a delicious burley blend.

    Storing Tobacco

    I know we are supposed to store our tobacco in mason jars, BUT, say I bought C&D's 8 State Burley blend and plan on smoking that until it is gone, how long can i keep it in it's original tin once opened? Should I transfer it immediately, or is it good for the next week/month?

    Another Room Note Thread, With a Twist

    I'm going to be going to a large, outdoor event later this month (Tiki Oasis.) but all smoking will be relegated to small areas away from the action. I would like to bring my pipe with me, but that'll force me to choose between smoking my pipe by myself or hanging out and drinking cocktails with...

    ***What Are You Smoking, April 2021?***

    Opened my first tin of Presbyterian today and passed a pinch off to a friend that's even newer on his journey than me. Considering I'm just venturing into non-Aro's, it was a great experience.

    Old German Clay Pipe...

    I've come back around to loving mine. Great smoker. I don't usually stick to the pipe, so I haven't worried about it.

    What Are You Listening To? ~ February 2021

    Mostly 60's/70's Country. With some Western from the same time frame thrown in.

    Clay Pipes

    Bought a few cheap clay pipes on ebay (4 for $12) as "taster pipes," and I'm starting to fall in love with them. The flavor comes through super clean (maybe I need to clean my other pipes better) no matter how I pack them. And the best part is that I can just throw them in the fire I was smoking...

    Frequent Tamping is Key

    Still fairly new, and I smoke aromatics that I tend not to bother drying, but I tamp fairly regularly. I've also got a tamper I like, and I enjoy tamping as part of the ritual.

    My Family "Heritage Blend"

    TLDR: I'm thinking about trying my own blend by soaking Kentucky dark or white burley in bourbon and brown sugar. is this a good idea and how should I? So my father (I have a very strained relationship with him) told a story about his Grandpa Dana. Dana grew tobacco in the Ohio River Valley...

    Hi from Bonita California!

    Tinderbox left San Diego, but Liberty Tobacco is doing well. They host a Pipe Club on Sunday afternoons (in person and zoom.) Maybe I'll see you some time. P.S. There's still a Tinderbox in Palm Springs.

    Putting Tobacco in Pipe Rack Jar

    So I'm in San Diego. Pretty mild temps with mild humidity. I was mostly asking about how many days/weeks worth of tobacco I can put in. I tend to go towards aromatic, so they would be more moist than average. Also, great tip about the rubber band. Searching for one now.

    Putting Tobacco in Pipe Rack Jar

    I know it's not good for long term storage, but I'd like to put the tobacco I'm currently smoking in the jar that goes with my pipe rack. There's a lid, but unfortunately no rubber ring to create an "air tight seal." About how long will tobacco be okay in there, or should I just put the Mason...

    What’s Your Favorite Way to Tote Your Pipe and Tobacco?

    Most of the time I use a leather pouch (similar in size to a small Dopp bag) that my wife got off Amazon. It holds two pipes, and all my pipe needs, and a pouch for my tobacco. I also have one of the old pipe holsters I use when I know I'm just going to have one smoke (or I'm doing some type of...

    Do Casings/Toppings Burn Faster than the Tobacco?

    Hahaha, I'm still alive. I did tell my wife that I had been advised to: "Tell her you have learned to tolerate her farts and occasional bad breath. The least she can do is deal with the incredible aroma from your pipe." She laughed at me. Then gave a death stare.

    Do Casings/Toppings Burn Faster than the Tobacco?

    And follow up question: if they do, what can I do to compensate?

    Do Casings/Toppings Burn Faster than the Tobacco?

    In my search for a room note my wife would love, I bought a "Chocolate Mousse" from my local tobacconist at his recommendation. He said the the smell was amazing, and it tasted much like it smelled. He was right, my wife enjoyed it, and it had a strong Mocha creme flavor (kind of too much.) At...

    Boswell's Military Force

    I just ordered some aromatics from them. Wish I had seen this.
