    Tried an actual cigarillo today, not one of those Prime Times that they brand as a cigarillo. Smoked a Mehari Ecuador. Quite enjoyable for a fast, small smoke. Now I'm looking at what else is out there, and alternatives for ordering them. My humidor is running low of big cigars, and while I'd...

    Received a tin of pipe tobacco today in the mail from Dream Castle, Molto Dolce - rich and creamy texture of vanilla, caramel and honey. No invoice, no documentation, just the tin. I don't know where or if I had signed up to get a free sample but I don't remember doing so (but I'm old and...

    After 6+ months of piping now, and becoming a much more regular occurance than occasional novelty, I feel that I'm finally getting the hang of this pipe thing. Now that I somewhat know what I'm doing, I think I'm in a better position to appreciate the subtleties and nuances of the hobby. I've...

    Been reading and searching but can never seem to find what I am looking for. Bought my first tin today - McClelland Christmas Cheer 2009. Cracked it open and boy does it smell like ketchup like you all mentioned in another thread. Here is my dilemma. I have only smoked 3 blends from jars at the...

    I got this pretty old tin from my dad, never opened. I did some research and found it it was no older than the 1970's or so and the blend was Inns of Court - a complex mixture containing the full range of Virginias with some Burley and Maryland, plus Latakia (less than Temple Bar) and Perique...

    I opened a tin of Astleys no. 109 that had 12 years of age on it. MY GAWD this stuff is amazing. I am now on the hunt for aged baccy! I am horrible at tobacco reviews so let me just throw out some words that came to mind. Blissful, Ecstatic, Smooth, Chocolate, Mellow, Peaceful, Caramel...

    Wasn't quite sure what to name this, but I've got a question about a couple tins I have. I've got a tin of Escudo and Uni Flake that I'm aging, but recently I checked on them, and there is some movement inside when I shake the tin. The seal still seams solid, and the lid doesn't give at all when...

    A couple of thoughts really... So tins are factory vacuum sealed. Sealed from the factory they can age and mature fine, meaning the vacuum at that level doesn't interfere with the process. I've seen several reports of failing tins, particularly recently among the Dunhill new tins. I've...

    Hi All, After seeing another thread about a trashed tin of EMP I went and checked my lone tin of Peterson University Flake. It's the only non-Pringles style tin I've got. It doesn't look like the same as when I bought it. The top is concave as if it is some sort of vacuum. The only...

    I was just going through my collection of tins (REALLY working hard to procrastinate from working on my Exams) and I found that I can easily press in the top and bottom of my Solani Silver Flake tin. Is this okay? Or should I open it and jar the flakes right away? I've never opened a Solani...

    What defines a collectable tin of tobacco in your opinion? To me I would say anything before 2007-2008. Yes/No?:hmm:

    I'm in the process of building my pipe tobacco cellar up, here it is Jay29's Online Tobacco Cellar, with a just ordered 8 ounces of Kajun Kake on the way. Would any of you recommend opening the vacuum sealed tins up to put in mason jars for aging? If so, do you seal using the hot water water...

    Found it on ebay, and scored it for cheaper than I could get it new. :cheer2: The tin note is really fantastic, and I now recognize the smell of aging VA's! There's a winelike, almost vinegary piquancy to the smell. The taste is relatively light, but very sweet and syrupy. Also some...

    I bought two tins of penzance, one I opened and then placed in a 4 ounce mason jar the other is in the tin, the other I left as is. My question is about the square tin they come in. Are they sealed somehow? Since they're not like the round tins that you have to pop the top I was wondering if...

    hey Piper bros any input on this query?..I just got some new tins(my first tins,actually) so I've been popping them open,packing them in a pipe and smoking.....should I wait a little while to dry them first?

    Anyone tried this? Supposedly, it will have the same effect as aging tobacco. This guy bakes his tin for 5 hours at 90 degrees Celsius. I'm interested in trying this, any pointers? Here's a video for reference: P.S.- I think this guy also bakes Crack.

    So this morning I cracked open my tin of Westminster. I've read here that it is a definitive English so I was anxious to see what an "English" is like. I've also read here to expect an oatmeal note. I was surprised at the smokiness of the aroma when I first opened the tin. It was nice but...
