    Fridges & freezers tend to dry things out. I use well-sealed glass jars (Ball, Mason, etc.) to store bulk/non-tinned tobacco. FWIW, FTRPLT

    Confession.

    When working in the Middle East, my group and I frequently partook of a good hookah session after dinner. I particularly enjoyed the "pineapple" flavored tobacco. FWIW, FTRPLT

    FWIW...I believe the "Walker" site closed last summer. Mike Myers was doing the pipe repairs; did great work for me. I received an email announcement saying he was closing the business. FTRPLT

    Cutting a pipe bowl?

    Can it be done...Yes. Have I ever done it...No. Would I do it to a Savory's Argyll...Nope!!! Topping a billiard doesn't make the result a pot; just a shorter billiard.
