D&R Blends - Picayune and Rimboche AB

[cshubhra]

I used to jar everything... but the 4 lbs of Daughters & Ryan I bought recently are saved in their original bags. Since jars take too much space and Daughters & Ryan come dry anyway, I thought it can’t hurt. Time will tell if I am right.

The 4 lbs of D&R are 2 each of Rimboche SJ and Rimboche AP

Does anyone just keep unopened pound bags, in their bags untill opened?

I keep buying pounds, but the jars take up so much space.....but I'm thinking that I smoke it fast enough, that they will be fine in the bags for some time. It's already very dry as well so I'm not worried about that, or the aging aspect.

What about the company themselves? How long do they keep the bags, untill they go " bad"? Indefinitely?

Exactly!

Within a week, I'll have 7 pounds on hand. And many more to come. Bags are just easier.

Is the Rimboche SJ comparable to any other brand? Or is it a unique D&R blend? Not sure if my ? makes sense.

I haven’t found another VaPer quite like it that’s currently in production from other blenders.

I can see where their reputation as a rolling tobacco only. I suspected as much until I heard about how he ran the business and then the light bulb went off.

Their bags are thick so I expect it will keep it smokable condition for at least a year or two, after that who knows. Most people around here are fanatical about aging though and plastic bags aren't the way to go with that.

Meh, I smoke Burley, I'm not worried about aging. And I prefer my blends dry. It's a win win.

Perfect. I appreciate the advice. And I was thinking about getting a vaccum sealer ....

Just be aware that most mylars have no channels like food saver bags have so something like a food saver does not work to vacuum the bags.

If you ever sell or trade It might pay off to leave them in the bags.

I jar mine... you'll have to pry my D&R stash out of my cold dead hands.

I really don't understand this apparent shortage as I see jars all over the place.

Not here. During the summer I thought people were just putting up produce from their COVID gardens, but we should be seeing more jars by now if that’s all it was.

I actually did some jarring, not just of tobacco I mean, actually cracked open some pickled leeks yesterday. Anyways, I see Bell jars currently available at a slew of grocery stores.

Tell ‘em to send some down to Louisiana, would you? I just checked again today, still none around here.

Everybody in my town is a "prepper".. The election/corona has people buying all the Jars and bullets.

Maybe its because LA still has a significant number of pre-covid picklers being such a food-centric state?

Yea, but aren't we prepping out tobacco?!
