I went to the hardware store to get some mason jars. When asked if I was getting them for canning, I said "Nope. Pipe tobacco storage". One of the Guys there told me he smoked a pipe. Now I know most of the people there, I knew he smoke ciggs heavily but I didnt know he smoked a pipe. He said hes got a few cheap meers, but has to keep getting more. He said the turn black after just a month or two. He must smoke his pipes like they're cigarettes to turn them black that fast
