Drink? Yeah I wish. After insulting my ulcers for far too many years, my guts have called it a day. ?
I've been reading as much that's available on casing and topping tobacco.
As you're well aware, tobacco is way too expensive to waste, even if it is homegrown [looking at replacement value]
One tip I read about using spirits to case baccy; place a shot glass of rum in a container with the tobacco.
Apparently the rum flavour infuses with the tobacco without it getting wet.
Sounds intriguing. Definitely worth a try because if it works satisfactorily, it sounds like a good way to ensure to not overdo it.
I just want to say welcome and you can thank me for not making the joke I really really wanted to make. Though your local sounds wonderful. Good day to you too sir.
Welcome from Bonnie Scotland ???????
Happy smokes

Onya Sir John. Always good to see another Aussie joining the forums ? ? ??
Love Black Cavendish [and Brown] especially when in the mood for a mild aromatic.
This year [when I get my act together] I intend to make some of my own BC out of my homegrown Burley that's been aging for a couple of years.
Thanks for the tip Brendan! I got online last night and ordered the Luxury Nave Flake from Tobacco Blends...also got side tracked and ordered another pipeWelcome from Cowra
It’s funny, I haven’t had a rum in a couple of years () and lately have fallen in love with it again.
I think it is the perfect pairing with my pipe now, not to mention
roughly 90% of my black tea’s since it’s getting colder.
Coincidentally I just got a pouch of Peter Stokkebye’s Luxury Navy Flake this morning and I’m in love with the pouch note, plenty of rum ?
If it’s any help I mostly purchase through Tobacco Blends in Melbourne, they always seem to get it to me in 2 days, most.
I suppose there is MyHumidor and Cigarworld online as well, usually they carry a good range but since Covid have very little at the moment.
Cheers,
Brendan.
?Rum and pipe is a wonderful thing - I love Diplomatico, but have also taken a liking to the Bundy Reserve Small Batch lately. Dead mans fingers coffee rum is very hard to stop at 1 also. I recommend drinking from a normal wine glass to get the full aroma and flavour ?. I'm trying to stick to quality over quantity (also due to cost) but not always winning at that haha

Hey Sir John, no problems at all.
Sorry, late reply but I hope you have received your LNF in time this week to enjoy, actually got around to rubbing all my flakes out tonight; pretty moist stuff and I've had very little experience with flakes, so I figure I'll keep to the ready rubbed approach.
Hoping some jar time will unleash some extra flavour. I've had a couple flakes left out overnight in past couple of weeks and it hasn't dryed out too much at all.
Just read up on Diplomaticos Rum, I know what I'll buying next when my bottle of 6 year old/select vat Bundy rum runs dry
Thanks again for the tip on LNF - have had several pipes and just cant get enough of it. I might need to buy quite a bit more of it if I'm going to keep some to age in a jar.Hey Sir John, no problems at all.

Another rum I can highly recommend is the Ron Zacapa - https://www.danmurphys.com.au/product/DM_355384/zacapa-centenario-23-solera-gran-reserva-rum-700ml
Cheers
Yep, sold.
Just read the reviews at Dan Murphy’s on that, that will be my next bottle for sure ?.
I know how you feel about LNF.. I have a bowl loaded ready to go once the kids are in bed, been thinking I’ll buy my next lot in bulk from an alternative source, wink wink nudge nudge.
It’s too good not to smoke regularly, plus I really want to age it long term at the same time without going broke.
Cheers,
Brendan.
