L.J. Peretti 150th Flake

[logs]

Earlier in this thread I said it took nearly a month to get a shipment from Peretti last time I ordered. Well not any longer. They've gotten their act together. I placed an order this week and immediately got a confirmation email and then a tracking number for the shipment the following day. PERETTI IS ON FIRE!

They have a B&M? I’ve been told otherwise and I haven’t found any info on it either

I'm not sure, but it's worth a check for sure.

The store is on the corner of Boston Common at 2 1/2 Park Square. It’s a great old-school store.

Yeah, I posted a reply then deleted it bc I realized they weren’t talking about Peretti bi TobaccoPipes. Peretti’s is great. I need to get back there.

If i plan on stashing this away, should i take the flakes out of the plastic bag? Wondering if tobacco stored in the bag, in the tin, will take on a plastic bag flavor.

Sorry about that. Didn’t realize they weren’t talking about LJP.

Lol. No worries. We were in the same boat and it’s a good reminder that LJP has a B&M.

Yes - take the flakes out of the bag. In my experience, the best way to store pipe tobacco is in 1/2 pint wide mouth Mason/Kerr jars.

Thanks for the reply, took them out and jarred last week. Wonder why they would bag their tobacco if it could impart plastic taste

I don’t find plastic taste to be an issue but it’s not viable for other than relatively short term storage mostly due to moisture loss and air exchange.
