Back to Smoking Pipes

[teufelhunden]

Just joined the group. Not new to pipe smoking but it has been a while. Are there any articles on aging pipe tobacco on the forums? Thanks

Brian did a radio show episode with Shane Ireland on cellaring tobacco, episode 275. Shane and Brian really cover everything from how to store it, what blends to store for how long, a game plan of attack as for how much to cellar.

Welcome back to the pipe smoking world! Lots of opinions on cellaring to, check out a recent thread about it.
Although it is kind of a camera thread now

Thanks for the help fellas. So what I got from the radio show was if it is in a tin, age it in the tin. If not put it in a mason jar.
What I am unclear on is how to seal the mason jar. Just screw the lid on tight and leave it, or heat it up and do a vacuum seal? Any tips on how to do the vaccum seal on a mason jar? How tightly do you screw the lid on while heating the jar, how to heat it and how hot, do you tighten it down good after heating and wait for the pop? So many questions.

Just screw on the lid. Welcome aboard!

Yes, but check them periodically to make sure they stay tight.
