    Who Taught You to Smoke a Pipe?

    I just gave it a go and then I found this forum. I have received a lot of help here. Still learning.

    Questions re: Tins

    Haha, yes I do have iphone boxes around and I have no idea why. I do think a lot of these tins looks infinitely cooler than those boxes so..... I definitely understand it more now.

    Questions re: Tins

    I appreciate this insight into why you kept these tins and it was very cleverly conveyed. I really like the artwork and shape of the one on the left. Sorry they were underwhelming but they certainly still made an impact.

    Thanks. Yes, it is his writing. He was always very meticulous with writing things down. I always found that cool about him.

    Questions re: Tins

    I will try to get a photo of them some time. Not sure when though. I find myself with many projects in the works at all times. Haha. We also split up his pipe collection 3 ways. I am in awe of the number of pipes he had. I know he smoked pretty much his whole life so..... it makes sense. I...

    Questions re: Tins

    I like how you explained it like a jam jar. That makes sense. I will probably also weight it. I want to be sure. Thanks!

    Haha. I do feel like he would find it entertaining to watch me puzzling over this collection of items that he knew so much about.

    Questions re: Tins

    Thank you for confirming that. I was thinking that was probably the case. I only opened the one I thought was certainly empty.

    Questions re: Tins

    Thank you for the information. The empty tins don't look particularly old but that is interesting. I got a few tubs full of things and it has been a really fun sleuthing expedition. I doubt at my rate of smoking I would ever make it through all of this tobacco. I have up until this point just...

    Questions re: Tins

    I acquired a bunch of tins when my father passed away. I joined this forum awhile back and received some helpful tips on smoking and I still enjoy smoking here and there. I have some questions about the tins. 1. He wrote dates on the back. Is that when he bought them? 2. Some seemed lightweight...

    Such good advice. In my particular case, I won't have to buy any tobacco for a long time. With the inherited pipes, I have two plastic bins full of tobacco. I have no idea how long this stays good if still in tins. I appears he wrote dates on the back. It seems like a big amount for one person...

    Yes, I can see how this hobby can require a number of items to get started. At this point, I haven't needed to acquire anything yet. It is a pretty hefty starter kit. There are quite a few pipes so it may be awhile before I photograph them. Thanks for writing and it is nice to meet you.

    Thank you for the link. I am glad the jars are labeled with names. It doesn't look like many folks gave this one favorable reviews. I did enjoy it though. The next day I smoked a different one and I think it was called autumn evening? I should google that one too and see what I can learn...

    Hi. I do think sometimes a bit of smoke gets to the lungs. I am hoping over time, I will get a good rhythm and balance. I really only plan at this point to do 1 bowl a day and that is if time allows. I appreciate the positive information that you shared. =)
