The blend is mostly the tobacco grown here at my place with turkish being the next biggest ingredient followed some perique and perhaps a dash of danish virginia to round things out.

Only tobacco in this blend, no casings, I read through Jason's posts @ Old CS and determined what he might like. I guess it was OK.

I also have a jar of "coins" aging as well as a few other experiments.

Here is a link to one of my photo galleries that contains the "coins" experiment. http://gallery.me.com/tzaddi#100323

Looks delicious, how much time does the tobacco take all together to grow, harvest, cure, etc.

01-30-2009, 04:47 PM

It was more than okay. I keep resisting the urge to open the jar back up for another bowl. As per your instructions I'm giving it a year to age.

Is that your curing chamber in the first two pics of your gallery? What did you use as the body?

Did I tell you a year, hell, smoke it up we can work something out if you require more.

That is one of my re-hydrating chambers.

When you ask about the body are you referring to the tobacco blend or something else.

From seed to cured leaf, less than a year, but the aging and fermenting can take much longer.

Curly Cut · 01-30-2009, 05:01 PM

those curlies look like liittle cookies i could eat.

Nick · 01-30-2009, 05:05 PM

Well, by gosh, I'm havin' me a bowl tonight!

I just thought if it was that good when I smoked it it could only get better with time.

By body I meant the vessel used for your re-hydrating chamber. Looked like a cooler or fridge.

Yep, smoke em if you got em

The container is just one of those large plastic storage containers with some wire racks separated with blocks or something. Improvisation is the name of the game.

Evening all. I've got the next week off and am hoping to get quite a few bowls in.

DrDubzz · 09-11-2009, 11:59 PM

Emjaysmash · 09-12-2009, 12:35 AM

Good! Havent smoked my pipe too often but had a nice bowl while reading my philosophy text book the otherday

Curly Cut · 09-12-2009, 10:58 PM

been really busy with work this summer and now my sons football practices/games.

excellent weather this year for smoking here in KC (minus the bug issues that have came back full force recently).
currently out of town for the KS state fair by the in-laws. gonna miss opening games of the NFL season, forgot to set my DVR back home.

Nick · 09-12-2009, 11:29 PM

I always slow down on smoking during the summer, but i feel the chill coming and will amp back up very soon I reckon.

RHNewfie · 09-14-2009, 09:34 AM

Been smoking my pipes daily!

atlharp · 09-16-2009, 08:27 AM

Been doing well. Recently Chad (Wrenchturner) handed me some S.G. Navy Flake and some Cannon Plug that smells like a Glade plugin. Mostly have been smoking alot of Frog Morton Across the Pond (Syrian Latakia is yummy!) and S.G. 1792 Flake. Been busy, but I am still getting time to burn a couple of bowls.

I found a familiar place

I haven't been smoking the pipe too much lately. I was working on lowering the amount of cigars I have

Curly Cut · 09-16-2009, 10:03 AM

has anyone who's actively been purchasing pipe tobacco noticed any price jumps?
i haven't purchased tobacco in about a year and was wondering if they actually did jump up and if it was even noticeable.

09-16-2009, 10:16 AM

This photo was taken 8/30/2008, so it's been over a year since I put this tobacco in a jar for aging. I expect I will load a bowl and give it a try sometime soon. We shall see what a year has done to this attempt.
