She's out of jail already?

You can definitely smoke too much tobacco, but you can never have enough cellared.

If you can still find any Dunhill EMP, it's definitely an oriental forward Virginia blend and one of my faves. GLP Embarcadero is also one to try.

If you can find Mac B Gold Block that's pretty tasty. Similar to Virginia #1. Also Gold Brick by Wessex is superb. Honey notes. MMMM.

That women want you and men want to be you. :LOL::ROFLMAO: Nah, just means that there are tons of great burley blends out there to discover now.

NicE! Thanks for that link!!

Aw, I'm sorry to hear of his passing. I remember his stuff from Mad Magazine years ago.

Bet all the tobacco there is nice and moist!

I like to dump it as I go, especially with narrower bowls.

I think keeping out of the sunlight is key for successful long term storage. Keep it in a cool, dark closet. Even indirect sunlight can cause the temperature to rise enough to affect the pressure of the seal. I'm not sure everyone would agree with me, but why take a chance?

I always liked Uni Flake. Been a while though. I remember it packed more of a wallop that I expected at first. A lot of Burley in there IIRC.

Yeah, any tobacco I've left in plastic bags has dried out very quickly. Some people say you can rehydrate it, but it never tastes quite the same after going bone dry IMHO. The little Ball jars are great for storing open tinned tobacco long term. Some guys even coat the Ball jar seal with wax...

Sorry not to reply sooner scallywag. I'm not checking in as frequently these days. Long time BoB member George Dibos of Precision Pipe Repair made them for me. I haven't seen him post in a while but look him up. Incredible stem work.

Sometimes a new stem can make a huge difference. I had a couple of gurgly Petes and when I had new stems made they stopped. I think the air flow was improved. Or something.

I've been thinking of getting myself something like that too. I'm using a little cardboard box and just drop the blades through a slit in the top. I can just toss the whole box out. Not fancy, but does the trick.
