The expert on this, however, is not me. This is only an educated guess. Is there a pipemaker in the house? |

Maybe the Elmers Ultimate glue would be better. Claims to "bond anything to anything." (Elmers version of Gorilla Glue) http://www.elmers.com/homerepair/ultimate/ Again use a very tiny amount of glue. |

Can someone post a pic of how you store your tobacco?
Thanks. |

Thanks. I am looking for more of a setup with baggies in tupperware. I don't haven enough to put into a jar. I assume you need to keep the tobacco humidified correct?

I personally like my tobaccos a little drier than how they come from the tobacconist. Moist tobaccos cause tongue-bite. So, I even dry them out a bit before putting them into jars. If I'd suggest anything, it would be not to mix you scented (aromatics and/or blends with Latakia) tobaccos with unscented tobaccos. So, a couple jars might be a good idea. |

I am interested in pipe smoking, but I haven't bought one yet. What would y'all recommend as a cheap pipe?

Anything on that page is a good starter. I am still a bit nooby on the pipe slope myself. Smoke more cigars than my pipes. I started with these two. http://www.pipesandcigars.com/macvancream.html http://www.pipesandcigars.com/dunmix965.html I've bought some samplers from this place. Very good stuff. https://www.tobacco-barn.com/news.aspx?showarticle=25 |

You can also find 4-ounce jam jars at places like WalMart and Target, etc., if you don't need the big ones. The are cheap and they are 1000x more reliable than baggies and tupperware. |
Re: New Pipe Smoker With A Question? Ask an Old Fa
:tpd: A 4 fluid ounce jam-jar will hold an ounces (by weight) of compressed tobacco, an 8 fl. oz. jar will hold 2 oz. B.W. of compressed tobacco, and so on. Should you decide to go this route, a canning funnel comes in very handy and a scale.
I’ve found buying canning jars by the case, tobacco by the pound and dividing it into 2 ounce portions then canning it, cuts cost by about 40%. |
