    Storing Tobacco

    folks, i've made it back to China and brought some tobacco with me (1-Q and Boswell blends), safely making it through customs. i'm wondering what the best way is to keep my tobacco. if i put it in glass jars, do i need the humidifier button in there or is it ok to just keep in a jar? i live...

    How Much Tobacco can You Cross the Border With?

    could you wrap your tobacco into really large RYO cigarettes? say, maybe an ounce per "cigarette" :)

    Free Tobacco Samples?

    i recommend smokingpipes.com, where you can order a single ounce of bulk tobacco. i'm all for free, but the best things in life (which, incidentally, are smoked) aren't free :)

    Slow, Even Burning - How do I get that?

    great advice to read, even after i've found my own rhythm. smgorden, as a newbie myself i can't stress enough slowing down on the draws and puffs. in my case, i realized that i was smoking way too fast, which explained why i was getting tongue bite so easily and also why i wasn't really enjoying...

    First time pipe smoker

    an experienced pipe smoker introduced me to the art, so if possible I would recommend seeking out someone equally generous. my buddy let me try a couple pipes, showed me a couple ways to pack the tobacco in, helped me with puffing, tamping, etc. i don't know if you know anyone near you like...

    Pipe Resting/Rotation

    I'm curious to know the rhyme or reason behind the way you rest or rotate pipes. Not the actual reasons for resting a pipe (which I've scanned elsewhere in the forum - makes sense). But rather, do you have a particular pattern to the way you rotate pipes throughout the day and/or throughout the...

    Another New Guy

    awesome picture. i would think that if anywhere has some good pipe culture, it'd be shanghai. alas, i'm in the southwest, where a ton of tobacco is grown but it's all for cigarettes. maybe i'll discover otherwise, but i'm not getting my hopes to high. i once saw a sign outside a convenience...

    Another New Guy

    there are tobacco "shops" where i live, but they're more like stalls. if you've ever been to a night market in Asia, that's pretty much what they look like. all that to say, technically you can buy tobacco. but realistically it's a gamble because they're not kept well. and 99% of the tobacco...

    Another New Guy

    hey, all - smoked my 1st pipe sometime in January of last year. not an awesome experience, but not a bad one, either. over the next ten months i smoked every now and then, but it was mainly just hanging out with the guys and more about the beer. i live in China, but am back in the US for a...
