Still looking for the best packing method. I know that's kind of an odd thing to say since there's technically no "best" way, it's just what works best for you. But I'm fairly new to pipe smoking so do you guys have any suggestions and techniques for me? Thanks

Stood in front of the humidor for at least a half hour before I realized the 68's could double up like that.

I read about this in Pipe mag and it has been working great for me. I take my tobacco and roll it into a ball, in the palm of my hand, that is just larger than the inside of my pipe's bowl and stuff it into the pipe, but the kicker is I leave an air pocket in the bottom of the bowl (so I am...

Dipping my toe in the CC pool, and while I understand what box codes are, I've also seen sites list information on "packing codes" in addition to the box codes. Is this something I need to take a close look at? Is there a resource available to help decipher it? I've tried searching on the...

......what better way to get rid of them but with BOMBS!!:whoohoo: These babies are set to launch tomorrow morning. Four are bombs and one is a PIF. The countdown has begun......

I have a box of anejo 46's but would like to see if anyone had the spider web paper that came in the 46 box. I can trade for it or I can pay someone for this. Just let me know.:tu Thanks, Zach

i was talking to some guys about the way they pack their pipes-i'm pretty new to the whole thing-one guy told me about the "loose pack" method, which seems to take care of a lot of the problems i was having (tongue bite, heat, keeping it lit)-anywho, ya just dribble baccy in till it hits the top...

Just had to share this. Went to Tennessee over the Christmas break (met my parents there). Well, all I wanted to do was check out B&M's for pipes and stogies. Came across this one where there was a pipe fellow--really arrogant and full-of himself type guy. Asked him to show me how he packed...

In our next care package to my brother in law in Iraq I was going to send along a few sticks. I know the it can take a long time for a package to get to him, and that Iraq is not an area well suited to cigar storage. Can one of you guys that have been sending cigars to the troops chime in and...

I was on a bit of a mission to put together a full box of Sharks from this season for aging. I was fortunate enough to obtain the full box with the help of some great Gorillas, but now I have a weird desire to store the box in its original packaging. I was able to get my hands on a box (thanks...

Just out of curiosity, is it a problem to pack a humidor too much? In my case I have a 300 count Savoy dome humi and it is totally packed. So much that each stick has to be properly placed or the top tray will not sit on the edge properly. Same with the cigars on the tray, I have to finagle...

So I've got 2 tins of Escudo, one open to smoke, and 1 in my cellar. I really like it so far, it's the first Va/Per I've tried, though I've only smoked 2-3 bowls of it. It seems a bit tough to pack for me, I've tried 3 different ways so far. 1) Tearing the coins in half and packing them in 2)...

Hi guys, Tonight, to get away from the hectic things that have been happening lately, I pulled out a pipe and attempted to smoke a bowl. Well tonight I chose to try Black Mallory, as I havent tried this blend before. I packed it to the best of my abilities, which up until now, has not let...

The blend is escudo but I have no idea how to pack this... do I pull this apart and back it or what do I do with this? I really wanted to get a celebratory smoke in today since I now have a thesis topic and a reader :pp

What a pain in the butt! Been packing cigars all week. Tried to keep it to just the hallie but that was a lost cause. Keep getting lost in the humi. Lots of wow I forgot about these moments that turn into hours. Gonna bring a couple bottles of wine so worried about how to make sure they...

Here's a sample of the selection. Now to pack the Otterbox:ss Clicky!

JohnnyFlake listed some samplers a few days ago. I was to slow the get the Anejo's but he had another one available. It was a 10pk. that had two Don Pepin, two Padilla and some Rocky Patels. I guess he ran out of packing peanuts so he had to fill it up something, a couple tag-a-longs. Thanks...

I just thought I would show the gorillas what it's like not to have enough space. I wish I had at least a 20-30 cigar caddy, but I figure quality over quantity. :ss

Hope this is enough for one week!:ss

I have normally smoked aromatics which have more moisture content and pack easy. I had just recently aquired some non-aromatics (Thanks Twill) and they seem to be drier and more rough cut. Is there a trick to packing this type of tobacco in the pipe, I seemed to struggle through it and had to...
