Kinda depends like BigCasino have said. A lot can be stuffed into a jar but you don't leave room for air I don't think the tobacco will "age" or "mature" (depending on type) as much. I have about 300 grams of 6 tins of Solani ABF in a quart Mason jar and that leaves almost half of the jar for...

Right. I agree. That's why I also going to start a pint jar and let the quart just sit.

Right! And after I set that quart jar back I'm going to work on another half pint. I know smarter folks that me say Barley doesn't age if you cellar it but I have some pretty well aged stuff and to me it just gets better! Did I mention I really love Solani ABF. :santa: Mike

Yeah I know! I ordered 5 tins from P and C yesterday! Turns out Niko is shipping me the last three tins. He kindly cancelled the other 2 tins and refunded the balance to Paypal because I don't do back orders. He also said it would probably be "several weeks" before they get more, Damn it...

Wow! I guess it's really cheap here in the States compared to Canada! I get a 50 gram tin for around $11. I'm trying to fill a quart size Mason jar and ration it out. Is it the tobacco tax that make it so high there? I love Canada and have spent a lot of time there but that price is outrageous...

At 75 I have fallen in love with ABF!

I am amazed that after a lifetime of pipe smoking I have never tried Solani 656 Aged Burley Flake. Probably because it is SO expensive! 50 gram tins bring it to around $90 a pound!!! Can't be an all day smoke for retirees! I have seen posts about 100gram tins but can't seem to find a supplier...

Sorry, C & D BURLEY FLAKE #2. I really need to check my spelling.:oops: 

Holy Smokes!!! Tried this for the first time last night before bed. BIG MISTAKE. The Nic was way up there. Loved it but kept me awake for a while. I found it at Mars, typed up the order and discovered they apparently don't take PayPal. Anyone aware of a site that carries the 8 ounce that does...

You got me there:oops: 

It oughta'... I stole it from you... by way of The Duke in "The Shooter".:lol: Actually I tried to copy the "gun toting" warning too but couldn't figure how!

I smoked cigs for a lot of years. Quit in the early 80's. Burleys don't seem to bite me as much as Virginias. But I am the first to admit I am NOT a disciplined smoker. Once I fire up I usually smoke the bowl straight through. M wife calls me a chimney... well she actually calls me a lot worse...

Thanks Cartaphilus! I listen to Parris Island Cadences. Stirs my old blood and brings back memories.

Thanks. I really do like cobs but I will give one of my briars a try next. I have a bent Costello in more or less billiard style I will try.

I'm thinking about trying one of the Thunderbird inserts to use with my Zippo case. I seriously doubt if I will ever use anything but butane or matches again. On another topic I am sitting here typing and smoking my first ever bowl of SG Best Brown Flake in a cob. Quite a departure for a...

Something interesting happened this morning. I march to cadence for 4 miles every morning from 6am to 7:30am. The tinfoil taste had just about disappeared. A couple of cars and a truck with really bad fumes passed me and within seconds the metallic taste hit be again big time. Must be something...

I've heard mixed reviews on the Zippo inserts. Looks like matches or butane cause I can't stand this tinfoil taste!

I am coming to the same conclusions, Tate! The taste is fading and I'm not about to use the Zippo again. Trouble is lighting up in the wind. Guess I'll have to get a good burn going before I head out doors. Mike

Thank you guys. Seems I have no problem when I stick to butane and matches. I even tried the "NEW" low odor Zippo fuel. Since that's the only variable that has changed I have to conclude the Zippo is the culprit. Trouble is getting fire in the wind with butane or matches. Thanks for the...

50 or 60 years I suddenly started to get a terrible metallic taste when I smoked my pipe. I was working outside and used a guys Zipper cigarette lighter. Same pipe same tobacco but all of a sudden my teeth and mouth taste like I had tin foil in it all the time. After laying off for a few days it...
