[QUOTE="Forrest, post: 614695, member: 6521"] [LIST] [*]That leads me to my questions for you, my fellow BrothersofBriar: Bovedas in tupperware for tobacco cellaring. Thoughts and considerations? Which RH Boveda? From scouring the interwebs, I’ve decided to begin with 58%. Any first-hand trial-and-error experience? My untouched-for-many-years pipes, some have somewhat loose stems. Will they resolve themselves from usage? (They’re smoking fine.) For the sake of your recommended tobaccos to try, please, allow me to describe my palate: First, cigars; I prefer medium nicotine strength for the sake of fuller flavor --you know, like how nice it is to find the “session beer” that’s lower alcohol content but still full-flavored. I do smoke strong cigars, after steak dinners, with a good bourbon. And medium-mild in the morning with black dark roast, even though medium strength nicotine cigars tend to have fuller bodied smoke. I prefer fuller smoke with a creamier mouth-feel. (Who doesn’t?) Second, pipe tobacco; More than the various tins I enjoyed trying, I smoked more of a blend I evolved of mostly a Cornell and Diehl no-additives that I can’t remember which of, with perhaps half as much Captain Black Gold, finished with some Acadian Perique. Does that inspire any of you to implore that I try any particular tobaccos? How about especially to go with dark black roast in the morning? And what tobaccos marry best with which cocktails and/or whiskeys? Lastly, my sign-off: Warm regards, [B]Forrest K. Harstad[/B] Real Estate Investor, Developer, Broker, and Business Consultant. Specializing in Whole Neighborhoods of New Homes since 1980. Retired Designer Builder of over 140 new homes per year.
