Just finished a trial run of my 'stretched' corn cob pipe. Very nice bowl of Frog Morton Cellar. I also discovered a good use for a couple of cigarette tins I got along with some pipe tobacco tins off ebay. They make great drying and loading platforms for loose tobacco. I just cleaned up the Chesterfield tin in this pic. It was icky yellow from too long in a cigarette smoker's lair I think. Now it is perfect for pipe tobacco staging.
