Stowed my pipes and tobacco in bins in my basement about 8 years ago. I recently pulled a few pipes and a few tins out.
I forgot some stuff and I’m glad to see that my PM account hasn’t been deactivated during that time since I’ll be reacquainting myself with the advice in these fantastic forums that originally put me on course to PAD and TAD situation that has me fairly well stocked for a bit.
90% of my tins are from 2013. So I’m just hoping that they haven’t spoiled in that time.
Looking forward to relearning the bits I forgot and I hope I’ll be able to add any advice I may recall for any other members.
Cheers!!

What kinds of tobaccos do you prefer?
Enjoy a bunch of Virginia Lat blends, VaPers and English blends. Tried many. Didn’t really get into the aromatics much but grew to enjoy GH Rum Flake as a change up smoke…
In fact I just found the pipe I used for the Rum Flake….still had the floral note😝

Welcome back! Man, your cellar is probably just hitting the sweet spot.

What kind of blends do you like? What made you take a break?

Look forward to seeing you on the forums.

These forums had me trying every mix under the sun. So never totally locked down a complete favorite or I just don’t remember. Just pulled out a few tins to try.
Got sidetracked due to a different work schedule mostly…and other stuff. Used to have my spot in the basement with my PC setup. Now I’m relegated to a cramped garage….😝😝
