Culling the Herd: Anyone Else Feel the Need to do So?
Done many times. Single pieces of a certain value sold individually, otherwise shipped in quantity to Smokingpipes in exchange for credit for other pipes or tobacco. Some regrets for sure but in most cases it was worth it. Better fewer quality pipes that satisfy me than many which I would end...- Dandy Pipesmoker

Opening Jar of Aged Tobacco: How Long Could it Last?
Thanks everyone for the replies, very helpful. I would like to ask your opinion on two specific cases: - I have three tins of Erinmore Flake by Murray dating back to the 80s and 90s, assuming they are in excellent condition when opened, do you think it is better to smoke them quickly or can I...- Dandy Pipesmoker

Opening Jar of Aged Tobacco: How Long Could it Last?
I would like to know, according to your personal experience, once a jar of aged tobacco (say 5 - 10 or more years) has been opened, how long does it remain in good condition for smoking? Specifically if it is an English mixture or a falke with light flavoring (therefore not only natural Va or...- Dandy Pipesmoker

How Much Is In Your Cellar ?
Around 30 lbs here. The variety of tobaccos is quite wide, but there are many vintage tins and out of production blends. The rest are SG bulk tobaccos left to age.- Dandy Pipesmoker

Who Buys Tins to Age Ten Years or More?
As for aging, I'm not so convinced that all tobaccos benefit from it (this also applies to Virginia). Some even with many years of aging do not change much and if I do not like them fresh I hardly find them better aged (for example the current version of Escudo or many Dunhill/now Peterson...- Dandy Pipesmoker

Who Buys Tins to Age Ten Years or More?
buy more than I can smoke and as a result I have many 5+ year olds and several are over 10 (tobaccocellar.com says over 10% of my stock). Fortunately, over the years I have also accumulated tins of disappeared tobaccos (several Dunhill and Erinmore made by Murray, many McClelland, Esoterica...- Dandy Pipesmoker

The White Goddess and the Black Lord
Interesting. Didn't know about that. So you dedicate meerschaum pipes like many do with briars? Is there any tobacco genre that you find worth trying in a Meer? Thanks- Dandy Pipesmoker

The White Goddess and the Black Lord
I know, it sounds like the title of a fairy tale or an epic tale. Instead, I want to tell you about a recent discovery of mine: I love the marriage between Meerschaum pipes and Latakia. For many years I have been looking for the best combinations of my beloved blends with Latakia and my...- Dandy Pipesmoker

Ghosting/Dedicated Pipes.
Yes. This way: Briars: - Virginia only - Virginia and Perique - Virginia and Oriental (no Latkia) - Virginia Oriental and Latakia Anything with Burley goes in a cob. Anything with an added flavouring goes in a cob. Anything with a heavy dose of Kentucky goes in a cob or clay. Lakeland scented...- Dandy Pipesmoker

Tame the briar
In many years of smoking and various experiments, I have not yet come to a conclusion: can a pipe be forced to smoke the type of tobacco we want or is it she (in italian the pipe is feminine) who chooses which spouse she wants to marry? (It is not always a relationship of total fidelity...)...- Dandy Pipesmoker

The Grass is Always Greener!
Title edited for caps and brevity. -jpm ----> Rule 9! For those who do not want to read a long post, I summarize: in the United States everyone dreams of European tobaccos, in Europe everyone wants American tobaccos. I am European, and more precisely Swiss. Switzerland is considered by many...- Dandy Pipesmoker
