Gerald Boone : Introduction

[Doctor Chopper]

Welcome aboard! My humidor is a watertight tote that I put a Boveda bag into during the cold dry winters for opened tobacco. Tobacco left in the tins are usually sealed well enough that no further maintenance is necessary. There are many discussions on this topic, and consider using jars or sealed mylar bags for long term storage or bulk tobacco.

Hello all, I am retiring next year and took up the practice of smoking a tobacco pipe this year; at 62 years of age. I love the flavor of tobacco and purchase many types of tobacco just because the variety is just so extensive. Each type of tobacco I like even though they are all so different. I'm working on making my own humidor because the moist tobacco seems to provide a more flavorful smoke. I am also working on the meter, the rhythm of smoking in such a way that the pipe remains lit but not hot. I find that hot smoke causes tongue bite so I try to avoid that. I am pleased to be a member here and wish everyone the best.

G'day from Perth Australia! Welcome

me too

I am the other way round I get more from dry tobacco.

My bet is looking at it as tending the ember might help more. Personally for me thinking of it in terms of sipping like with good whiskey or brandy works best.

Thank you I think I was heading in the wrong direction with adding humidity. So following the wisdom from yourself and others here I bought a huge mason jar that fits most of my tobacco. Working on sipping. trying to get a smoke that lasts a half an hour.

Welcome from Durham in the UK. Before you build anything read the collective wisdom on tobacco storage. It will help.

Thank you. Based upon what I have read from the kind community here I bought a huge mason jar and keep the tobacco not tinned in the mason jar. My mother lived in Manchester UK back in the 1950s. She loved it there.
