Want to Open New Tins, But too Many in Rotation

[eljimmy]

Open away. I have 60-70 jars in rotation. Hahaha!

Discipline. Without it, you hurt not only yourself, but everyone around you.

I just order new ( untasted) blends in twos , one gets cracked one goes to the cellar if I like it I buy in twos again one to smoke and one for the cellar if I really really like it I buy in fives and so on and so forth , crack the tins and enjoy , there’s a piano about to drop from a great height around every corner in this life , get what you can while you can…

Personally I say try smoking one or two tins at a time. Gives you a much better idea of how much more your missing by jumping around. Also you think there is a lot more in a tin until you smoke one tin at a time. 1-2 bowls will last somewhere between one and two weeks.

I have a drawer full of 4oz Ball jars with different blends:

36 Pack on Amazon Here

They hold a 2 oz tin easily. I also have some similar plastic baby food jars I use for travel.

I've given away a number of these jars when a friend said they liked whatever it was they were trying and I just gave them the whole jar.

I also wash and reuse the jars but replace the lids.

Easy peasy, lemon squeezey

My problem is (well, among them) , I'm running out of drawers.

This is why most of us ‘collect’ mason jars and mylar bags

Haha, I understand because I also have a lot of open tins. I transfer to mason jars as soon as I open a tin so there are no worries about it drying out.

Sometimes I obsess about finishing a tin or two before opening a new one, especially if I have, let’s say, five different VaPers open. I may want to finish one or two before I pop open a new VaPer.

In a way, I’m still in the “smoke as many blends as I can to see what I like” phase. I’m enjoying it to the fullest!

With all that being said, sometimes I just pop a tin because I want to. Simple.

Buddy, I've been pipin' for 15 yrs now, and I'm still in that phase. Same with beer. There's always another to try.

Just by contrast, my dad smoked a pipe from about age 15 until he was 65 and quit for a job at a non-smoking campus. He maintained only one pipe at a time, with maybe one functional burn-out as a reserve, and he smoked only Granger in the foil packet. When he got the rare tub of Granger, he refilled used foil pouches he had around.

He was a child of the Great Depression and kept his material needs spare. He packed for a week's vacation in a slender valise. He bought his first new car in his fifties, a VW bug.
