| Considering he's closing up, have you thought of trying to make a deal for the rest of that tobacco including the container(s) he keeps it in? I would also think he's got some tobacco jars he would be willing to part with at a good price.

| Mark, I don't know why we didn't think of that before. Get that recipe, someone else can mix it up for you.. Jim's idea is good too, just buy his set-up, he probably won't want to carry it with him.
As for the pipe. Two thumbs up!

What are your thoughts?
I guess this could be in a different Category, but oh well. |
I have seen those Mario Grandi pipes on eBay. Amazing looking pipes for the money!

| | that is a nice pipe! I like how the rustication has a fissured looking. very geological! could mario grande be making a new look for smooth/ rust. pipes? now I will have to start looking closer at his pipes. ya know how certain pipes just grab you? that is one of them. |

| | He definitely does some INTERESTING things with pipes. I will just tell you that I did buy a duet from him (2 matching accenting pipes), and I wasn't impressed with the craftsmanship. Just for that reason, I'm only going to buy his singles. I have a feeling that his prices may go up eventually. They smoke extremely well. I definitely recommend him. 50-100 bucks plus 15 bucks for shipping. can't beat that. |

| I really like those Platinum Ball jars -- thanks for the tip!
I have to go along with the "many small jars" school of thought. Though not so esthetically appealing as a humidor or fancy container, small jars are the best way to store bulk tobacco. Pack them as tightly as you reasonably can so as to exclude as much air as possible. The flavors will "marry" as it continues to age. Then open one small jar at a time as needed. |
