Well, after further research and reading a few articles, that included some of G.L. Pease's research studies, I retract my previous statements concerning aging tobacco in tins. Here is another linky from Pipes and Cigars ---> Aging Tobacco After reading some other online articles, it would...

Linky ---> Vacuum seal tins for tobacco Here is one link I've found so far. I'm not sure how you "vacuum seal" the contents of the tin, but I would imagine, that as long as the tin has a "seal" of some sort, then It would act just like a mason jar. Anyway, I'll do a little more research, I...

I'm finding that I like keeping my tobacco in tins. Especially for short term storage. But I would like to eventually just use all tins. I prefer the 3.5 sized tins over the 50g tins myself. Because I can see myself pretty much sticking with buying most of my tobacco in bulk, I was planning on...

Yes. I went back to being meticulous about my prep. Everyone's tips really helped me get out of being lazy, which I'm prone to do. Yesterday, I set out the before mentioned blends on saucers to let them dry. After an hour or so, they were pretty dry, but not too dry as to totally fall apart...

I think I just solved my problem. Aging. I tried the fast aging method I read about at Vegaspipes. I set 3 tins, squadron leader, bracken flake and 1792, on my dashboard and let them cook for an hour. I just tried the bracken flake and it was really good, big improvement. I'm starting to really...

Hey all, I have a question. I'm learning the pretty well, how to pack, how to light, how to tamp, how sip, etc... But I've encountered a small imediate problem. It seems that no matter what I do, the first half of my bowls are pretty bland. It's not until I get closer to the bottom that...

SG's 1792 flake in a MM Diplomat Cob. Just got some in yesterday and I've been itch'n to try it out. I took a couple of flakes out, folded them and stuffed them into my pipe. The tobacco was almost dripping. I find the prelight smell very interesting and delightful. It's earthy and tar like...

Hey all, I've stumbled on a pretty damn good hybred blend I've made. I like a good cameroon cigar in the morning, like a fuente don carlos. But I couldn't afford to smoke them every day. So I've been hoping to get a simular taste from a pipe and I think I'm getting close. Here is my hybred...

Thanks Alan, After just having another pipe of 965, I don't think there's any real menthal or mint taste, it's just the way the way the blend tastes and the way lt's sweet, cool and smooth, just kind of reminds me of menthal, peppermint or mint. Kind of like what fresh mint does in a mojito or...

As most of you know by now, I'm just getting into pipe smoking and really loving it. It took me a couple of weeks to "phase" out of my cigar palate and develop a pipe palate. At first, it was like I was puffing on air. But slowly my mind and mouth adjusted to the more subtle pipe smoking...

Well I did a lot of "pipe" reading yesterday on the net. First of all, I would like to thank everyone on their helpful inputs. This is a great place to start when you need to learn something. So I appreciate everyone's experience and advice. I called Missouri Meerschaum yesterday and found a...

So I'm going to be buying my first briar soon. I've decided to just go ahead and get new ones. I haven't had much luck finding estate ones, even on Frenchies that I'm interested in. But I can get some decent Savinelli's for around $50.00 I think so I'm leaning towards them. But I have a few...

I'm the O.P. of the 'hello pipe room' thread. I've been doing alot of reading and smoking and here's what I can recomend so far. Take a look at the desert island thread, then take a look at pipetobaccoreviews.com. Make notes on the blends that are metioned and reviewed the most. Also, go to your...

I just smoked my first bowl of Dunhil 965, it was awesome! I bought 2 oz's from the last jar that my local tobacco shop has left and I plan on buying the rest of it tonight. Can anyone recomend another blend that might be simular to the 965?

Hey all, I'm getting into port and sherry. I'm looking for cheaper tawny's and sherries that go well with tobacco. The only store in my area that sells a limited selection of these, is TotalWine, so I can only get the bigger named brands, like, dow, fladgate, fonseca, sandeman etc... I would...

Well, first of all, just a thanks to everyone's help here in getting me started in the pipe. I got my first pipe today, an mm cob, nice and cheap. In fact my total purchase was $12.00, which included, 2 ounces of tobacco, the pipe, cleaners and a tamper. So, I started of with some Dunhill...

Thanks for the quick reply rramstad! :) I'm glad to know that pipe smoking, as long as I don't go crazy with pipe purchases, can be considerably cheaper then cigar smoking. I really don't mind the time it will take me to figure out how to get a great bowl. I'm the kind of guy who loves the...

Hello pipers. I'm interested in starting up with the pipe. But I have some questions that I was having a hard time answering by searching, so I thought I would just be best to start a new thread. Sorry if this has been covered before.... thousands of times. :) I just started smoking cigars...

Well, after a few weeks of testing; I'm pretty set on Rocky Patel's and Padron's being my goto brands. I just have that personality, where I don't like to constantly switch from one thing to another. Once I find something I like, I am very content sticking with it. So my question is this. I...
