Re: Finally thinkin about getting a Quality pipe!

and let air out... and possibly what is the ideal humidity...

sure, open the jars every now and then, for the ones you want to smoke that are recently opened. letting them breath is a good thing. i'm not saying leave them open for an hour or two. maybe open them for 5 minutes while you're getting the tobacco out that you want to smoke.

the ideal humidity is up to the smoker. some smoke wetter tobacco than others. some say the ideal humidity is when the tobacco is moist enough for you to still be able to mold it into a ball and for it to spring back. you dn't want it to where you try to bend the tobacco and it breaks like crispy bacon.
some tobaccos, like McClelland broken flakes, need prepping as soon as you open the tin before it dries out and you can't prepare it. some ppl take the tobacco straight out of the tin, throw it into a pip and let 'er rip (some tobacco is ready to smoke straight out of a freshly opened tin, most are not).

yes, you can age tobaccos just like cigars. best to leave the tins sealed if you want to do that, though.

Re: Finally thinkin about getting a Quality pipe!
 
So far been smoking Orientals with my new Jirsa, And after trying a few English and Va.pers.. im like DAMN! should i have dedicated that pipe to one of those. Do the flavor profiles of English/ Va.pers go beyond or possibly mold well with an already Oriental smoked pipe...

I have no issue keeping it 100% oriental but If i'm able to switch it SOONER rather than later I'd be a happy man ( still barely any cake.. maybe 5-6 bowls smoked in it)

thanks once again guys, Dont worry, I'll be all Learned up in No times, Yes sir'y Bob!:banger

If you've only had a few bowls in it so far, switch it over if you want to. Its easier to do it earlier than later.

Out of english tobacc's such as... Boswell's Northwood, and Margate

and Va.pers such as Escudo, and Fillmore... Is there a type of tobacco that would completely mask the original flavors left behind with the few Oriental bowls?


Just trying to make the right choice ;) thanks again guys, and Thanks Jordan!

Re: Finally thinkin about getting a Quality pipe!
 
CONFUSING! lol
Margate is described to contain
-Virginia
Latakia
Oriental

and on the Package says... English... sooooo... lol I'm guessing this would smoke great with a light backbone of Oriental, but is this an actual English blend?

( So confusing, maybe someone should just recommend me a good Pipe book before I drive everyone crazy =] )

Yes, i'm very fond of it. Some people say it's just Penzance ribbon cut but I disagree. I find it to be a bit more balanced and not quite as strong.
