The price for cobs and clay pipes are such that you can use them when working or whatever and if they happen to get damaged, oh well. But I was wondering about the pros and cons are of each?
Now I know a clay pipe isn't a briar, they get hot, and not sure if you should let a cake build up or treat it like a meer. Then there are the plethora of other clay types like Germans and then there are ceramics. Saw a ceramic I really liked. Had a clipper ship painted on it. I love those old sailing ships.
Not sure if this is the place but I keep bulk tobacco in zip locks. Is that ok? I just bought a bunch if those pods to keep the tobacco moist. Some are still in the tins. Figured I'd just throw in a pod. I bought a cigar box to keep either my pipes in or the tobacco. I know cigar and pipe tobacco are kept at different humidity levels.
I also keep some tobacco in the pouches they came in, they will get a pod as well. I have a handful of Decatur roll up pouches and a really nice faux snakeskin pouch. I keep tobacco in them as well and eventually a pod.
Am I doing anything wrong, or is it ok? I should mention at most they're all about an oz or 2. When I find some tobacco I like, then I'll buy in larger quantities. When I do, can I just keep it in the tin or can? Or will I need to invest in better storage solutions?
Thanks. Can't wait for to here your advice.
