More like everything pipe related that i own.

Got some 70% bead tubes and air tight jars. Is this the right way to store things? Jane hates the smell so I needed to do something.

I need to do something similar... there is a Container Store just a few miles from me... maybe I will stop by there tomorrow!

pretty sweet, but i wouldn't keep the pipe baccy at 70%, that's too moist.

ps - the Dunhill London Mixture (red tin on the left) is one that i got from SPS (croatan) and i've got it at work to smoke in my new Nording canadian on the drive home from work... nice (had a bowl today).

neither... i've read that 20-30% is good for pipe baccy. i could be wrong though. i'll look it up tomorrow for you.

Thanks. New slope. New dope. (That would be me.)

I've been keeping the majority of my opened tinned pipe tobacco in an unused cooler. No escaping aromas to deal with, (sadly), and they're protected to a degree from the winter heating environment. Some of the open tins, and especailly the open pouches, get transfered to canning jars, which are also fairly air-tight with no residual aroma to speak of. (They can pass the Penzance test, which oughta account for something.)

You're probably OK with your set up, Dave, but I'd remove the humidification as well. Greg's pretty much spot on with the ranges.

YMMV

yep, i have my "loose" tobacco in ceramic jars...

I don't know what the "correct" humidity range is for pipe tobacco, but I've found that if I store it in something that's pretty much air tight, it doesn't need any extra humidification elements (I currently use tupperware type things). I'd definitely remove the tubes, Dave.

Also, glad you're liking some of what I sent you, IHT.

so far, everything has been great. have yet to try the I.R. "kings oriental" though... have to find a pipe for that one. almost had the Penzance again last night, but went for some C&D Morleys Best in my 1 dot Sasieni.

I think that's some pretty good stuff. What did you think of it?

[IHT]

i like it. it's got a smokey flavor, seems hard to keep lit though, maybe just that my pipe is still being broken in. the large clumps of burley sometimes stop the pipe from smoking good, i don't know why...

it's not as "in your face" as the orientals and things with heavy latakia, but i love the "smokey" flavor of it.

i will get a tin of it here soon.

[mr.c]

got another pipe in

[IHT]

odd, i had to copy the properties of your photo, then go to that page on my own to see it... now i see it on here as well.
