Opening An Irreplaceable Tin

[Richmond B. Funkenhouser]

The whole concept of having something I can't use, and wanting things I can't get, just doesn't fit in my philosophy..

Are we in control of what we want? If we aren't, then who is?

I just flushed my last few pounds of Picayune.. I'm not going to just let it sit there all sexy in those jars, and look at me like that.

I am guilty of holding on to stuff too long. I get cold feet and find a reason to smoke something else.

It seems to taste best when it’s craved, and you have the time. Roll the phone(s) to mute, find a good spot & pipe. Enjoy.

Thank you gentlemen! I have opened the tin and transferred to a jar. Tonight's smoke will be epic!

Well, what was this epic tin you hesitated on opening?!?

You just what now?! ?

No. I don't mean BTL - those are easy to find these days. I'm talking about stuff like this:

That's a pretty kewl cigar. I'd probably save that for awhile. You got me.

I'd love to smoke some of my "irreplaceable" stuff.

My only problem is I don't need another opened tin/jar - I've got alot of smoking to do before I open more stuff!

We all have blends in our cellar, in varying supplies, that we simply cannot replace. What prompts you to pop a tin of the good stuff? Note that this is more than an academic topic to me as I have been staring at my two remaining tins of Bohemian Scandal. ?

I cellar for a specific date/timeline. When the tin reaches the age of which I wanted to wait, I pop it open. Enjoying quality food, spirits, and tobacco is what I enjoy, YMMV.

Bohemian Scandal.

If I had one we could split it. Was hoping to get something freaky like that next CF auction, but, alas, the FDA had other plans.

Bohemian Scandal.

Hmmm....Bohemian Scandal, I would have to pop and smoke till the tin was empty! That's was a great bowl that I had back when it was new. Can only imagine with age., Enjoy

Should be smoked as intended. Go aheadvand rip the band aide off, you'll be glad you did.

My cellar has enough age and breadth now that I'm always going to have at least one tin of something I can't replace open and in a jar to smoke as I want. I like variety with many open tins and rarely smoke exclusively from one tin, so a particular "open" tin will last me a long time. That's why I bought it and waited.

I'm already considering popping something special for the Chicago Show and sharing some with whoever sits close by in the smoking tent. You'll be able to spot me by my huge.....





bald spot

So, you guys don't just periodically open all of your tins to check on how your tobaccos is doing? How do you know if it is aging well?

What a silly question. I shake the tins, of course!
