Nice stash Shoto!

 

[unclearthur]

Looking real good there!

 

[jonesing]

Nice collections Shoto.
Where's the Prince Albert? 2 Cobs and no PA? C'mon man.
That McConells Scottish Cake is supposed to be a very fine VaPer. A guy in some other forum did a several months long VaPer "contest" and, if I recall, Scottish cake was the winner among maybe 3 dozen VaPers he tried.
So which is your favorite smoker the Pete or the Sav?

 

[shotokun16]

lol--whats a PA? sorry new to acronyms here.
ya i heard the scottish cake was good but didnt crack it open yet might give a month or two cellaring.
Favorite smoke so far is the Sav. The Peterson went through some serious salt stuff so i might smoke it nextweek after the FVF comes in the mail.

 

[jonesing]

PA= Prince Albert. The classic drug store burley sort of goes with the cob.
The salt goes nice with Dark Bullseye. I bathed an Ebay Edwards a couple days ago and wanted to put it in immediate service.

Lawrence... Thanks for the list I was struggling with some of the posting and this will be a big help. I did know many beyond LOL, BS, and SOB.
Now regarding the stashes being posted... I'm embarrassed to say that most if not all of them make mine look nonexistent and I've been at this a lot long than some of them.
Shotokun16... very impressive!

 

[shotokun16]

wow pstlpkr--i felt like that was a list of code names, football plans, sports talk, chemistry chart, native code breaker talk and a legend for map reading. Very much appreciated.

 

[pstlpkr]

No problem, glad I could help.

 

[prefontaine]

Just incredible stuff herein. I aspire to obtain a stash like those, lawdy. If I were to buy in bulk for storage, about how cool do I need the room or area for storage? Like, I read to keep it around 60-70degrees farenheit, but what if it's around 75 degrees in a cool area, will that ruin it? I also don't understand how to measure humidity, is it extremely important?

 

[cortezattic]

If you're storing bulk tobaccos, you're probably (or should be) using Mason jars or similar air-tight containers. With respect to temperature and humidity, I read that in general, if you are comfortable, then the tobacco will be comfortable. You can obtain a lot of information at The Pipe Tobacco Aging, Storage & Cellaring FAQ and Bob Tate's blog on tobacco storage.

 

[sapo59]

Nice stash shoto. That ought to keep you puffing awhile till TAD and PAD set in bad. Before long your stash will be growing.

 

[shotokun16]

i unno--guys im coughing a lot and i dont even inhale!..am i doing something wrong? The stonehaven is kicking my butt.
But anyways have a good monday you guys!

 

[cortezattic]

prefontaine,

Check out The Pipe Tobacco Aging, Storage and Cellaring FAQ which should bring you up to speed on the subject. Opinions vary, but in general if you're comfortable the tobacco will be comfortable. No need for thermometers, humidistats or other laboratory equipment -- just a Mason Jar.
Also, Bob Tate wrote a nice Pipe Tobacco Storage article on the subject.

 

[admin]

I have A LOT more tobacco from the time I took the pictures in this thread.
The increase can be measured in pounds ... just a few.

 

[unclearthur]

Sure Kevin!! Rub it in!!!! LOL

 

[admin]

LOL Phil.

 

[igloo]

Ok here it is had to work fast or risk the big D . There are 58 kinds about 12 lbs toatal lol

 

[igloo]

As you can see your mutt mix is on the left between the mason jars and the bulk . The country store that Lawrance sent is in the center . About three years to collect all this .Most are gifts and five are freebies . My TAD is bad .
