Yes, 16 oz of variety - I will probably use half within 2 weeks - I want to store half of it - but a week wont dry too much or leach bad plastic flavors from the bags right? I usually get my stuff in tins that's why I ask
If it is just a week you should be alright.
I've waited over a month a couple times (just looked at some dating on a few jars today that were about 2 months, and I have had one bag sitting for 4 months at least still because I over ordered on it and am out of jars. However, usually about no more than a week or two. Just depends on the mason jar supply. I would prefer to jar it right away, but I've got several 1lbs jars in storage without a problem after sitting a year or two, which if there was a problem, there should have been already. Also, on big orders, make sure you do inventory them upon arrival. I have had a few wrong shipments... 5 lbs of Daughters & Ryan instead of Comoy's Cask #4 for example, or some ounces here or there of completely missing. Never anything resulting in my favor, although pipesandcigars did once replace a McArthur that came without a bit or ferrule with a new pipe and I still have the old bowl and shank just sitting, they also made good finally sending my Comoy's #4 after I returned the Daughters and Ryan... no apologies or much anything... just out a lot of my time sending emails and pictures. Wish everyone better luck, especially our beloved tobacconists.
Same here. I like gettin' er done
Yes, well I haven't ordered from P&C in a long time - they are a poorly run operation - their sister company CigarsIntl, interestingly run a much better show. I don't like supporting them anymore as they are part of the big tobacco cabal along with J&R and Nat Sherman - It's basically few people at the top getting wealthy owning stake in everything from Pipes to Cigarette outlets and lobbying Washinton DC while the rest of us lose our basic rights and liberties. Sadly they make all the great products we've grown to love. If I'm going to buy their tobacco I try and spread the money around and not use their retail exchanges - try and support the small guy and buy from any B&M or smaller dealers.
This is definitely me. I like to jar it while it's still fresh. I'll dry it later when I'm ready to smoke it. No telling how long it sat around in bags before I bought it.
Yeup... tobaccopipes has been doing me right, and I like service at a few others as well. Stopping by the local shop is always a good time and pick up there to help pay the bills. I had to be fair above about the pipe where I was sent a damaged one... half a cob basically, and they did me right by just sending a new one. I did them right by returning that 5lbs bag of Daughters and Ryan, and of course they wanted pictures and it was a little "todo" before I could get my 5lbs of Comoy's. I'm actually not planning on going back really. I don't want to give them my info that they would want now.
That there has been my issue a couple times.... not enough jars. Even when planning ahead trying to have the jars ready for arrival. It must have been canning season. I did a lot of drive-bys (2 diff Walmarts and Target) after work trying to get cases of the type of jar needed - only to find shelves empty or a few colored single jars for the same price as a whole case. lol. I've recently decided, that I will enjoy what I have and smoke through a few jars before storing more.... if possible. It could lead to ... "just one more case" of jars a few more times, but I've curbed the TAD quite a bit.
Totally agree... as long as your locals do have enough jars =) Fortunately, after a month all was jarred.
