    The Original Tinderbox on Wilshire in LA

    Yeah there is definitely something odd about those things. A friend of mine told a story where her grandmother had several above her door and by the end of the month they would all be facing the wall. My friend thought they were haunted or something.

It's an American English with a Virginia/white burley base with a decent helping of Latakia. I had my buddy Jim throw in a sample with an 8 oz order of my usua arol "Ebony...

    The Original Tinderbox on Wilshire in LA

    Gentlemen please feast your eyes on the beauty that is the Original Tinderbox on Wilshire Blvd in LA. I was lucky enough to have a chance to stop in a few weeks ago. Enjoy! Jim leafing through the custom blend book for me. A real work of art. It belongs in a museum. "The Old Man"...

    Where do you store your tobacco?

    Ikea has these great glass jars called "Burken" that range from 17 to 74 Oz. They are glass with aluminum tops that have a clear rubber seal. No fuss, no muss or gadgetry like the clasp jars.
