St. Bruno in a Manx meer. Heading down to Little River, SC to visit my step daughter in the morning so I'm getting a few pipes together for the trip. I'll be stopping at Low Country Pipe and Cigar.

Gawith Hoggarth & Co.: Brown Bogie in a Meer...
2020 Cringle Flake in a rusticated Pete House Pipe — while tis still the season. It’s unseasonably cold in SoCal.
Sutliff Victoria in an E. Wilke smooth dublin with tapered vulcanite stem. Black coffee.
Just standing in the Gulf of Mexico, letting the waves wash over, while smoking some C&D Epiphany in my Giant Hilson Bully… Waiting on nothing, nothing waiting on me.
Latakia compliments the Gulf well.

CRFwP in Savinelli Tre.
So, made one of those discoveries today you do t want to make - went for the jar and as grabbing tobacco, I was like why is this so dry feeling? Looking at it - why does this look so powdery…? Hmmm… looked at jar and lid and made sure screws on tight… the bottom side of the part with the seal - looks like a manufacturer defect as metal is bent back over the seal in one area…ah ha…jar didn’t seal, driest of dry tobacco - tried some - nope. Terrible. Will try to rehydrate, but - beyond it IMO. So, had to pop a second tin - blasphemy, I know - but oddly enough - the tobacco in a sealed tin was more dry than I recall it being when I first got it… ?
Anyone else find what seems to be an overly dry tin at opening??
