    Sutliff 507c storage

    Yes sir! It is quite a blessing! I believe they are 64 oz. Jars, they were packaged in 6 packs. I tried the 32 oz. jars with the first 5 lb brick and I ended up tearing and smashing the flakes just to get them packaged. I regretted doing so, hence the second 5 lb order lol. At least I have...

    Sutliff 507c storage

    Hello all! I just wanted to share that I was able to find a six pack of jars to store those long, beautiful 507c flakes without tearing them up! Three jars fit five pounds. I will post pictures. Exodus 23:25

    507c virginia slices storage

    Hello all! I have recently tried Sutliff 507c, and it is the closest thing I think I have found to one of my favorites, Capstan Blue! That being said, while I'm not freaking out over the whole stg takeover, I decided to cellar a few pounds of it. The first five pounds I bought I had to stuff...

    Stg Mac Baren takeover, LJ Peretti and my two cents

    Hello all! I am somewhat new to the forum, but not new to pipe smoking. I, like the rest of you, have taken notice of the Mac Baren and Sutliff takeover, and like many of the rest of you, I have taken steps to make sure I have my favorite blends collared. That being said, I want to start by...

    Question about canning jars

    The thing is, I've already jarred around ten pounds of good tobacco in those jars. That's why I am really hoping it is just the smooth glass giving the feeling of being slick, otherwise I've just contaminated hundreds of dollars worth of tobacco.

    Question about canning jars

    Hi there! I just recently bought several pounds of tobacco and was jarring it last night, and when I opened another pack of ball jars and grabbed one, it felt really slick and almost like they had a thin oil film them. Is it possible that the glass surface is so smooth that it gives the...

    Virginia forward english recommendations

    I actually do want some latakia, I just don't want it to be overpowering the sweetness of the virginias. I actually have two 8 oz tins of embarcadero in the cellar, I have yet to try it but I am looking forward to it. I bought it because I hadn't heard of many virginia/orienatal blends and I...

    Virginia forward english recommendations

    No problem brother! Squadron leader is especially delicious after a couple years of age, a nice balance of sweet and smokey, with what, to me anyways, I can only describe as a kind of cinnamon like spice. Please let me know what you think of it if you try it.

    Virginia forward english recommendations

    Thank you all! I didn't expect that many responses already, I am grateful! I am blessed to have been able to build up a pretty big cellar, so I already have ashbury and kensington on hand, I just haven't tried them yet, but I will do so soon! I also have Chelsea morning. Also, I actually like...

    Virginia forward english recommendations

    Hi there! I'm a new member here, I've been smoking pipes for around 15 years now. I am looking for an English blend that is virginia forward, a blend that contains oriental and latakia but they don't dominate the whole smoking experience. The closest I have found is squadron leader, I like that...
