Enjoy brother! Let me know what you think and if they're not out I will send another batch, maybe to keep for aging???? I try and keep a little bit back every year, just gets better and better! Happy smoking!

Dumb thought, but I didnt even consider pipe tabacco as something you age. Interesting......

From the little that I understand (and the little I smoke) most pipe tobacco comes from only a few major distributors. If you have a local shop that blends, they are mostly just blending what almost all other shops carry, or variances thereof. Again, just from the little that I understand, when you age pipe tobacco, it allows what is blended together to blend and meld even more over time, and I think we all know how we feel about aged tobacco in cigars. I could be totally off because I've only heard it from a few guys at a few B&M's, makes sense to me though.

Oh yeah people age pipe tobacco and you can buy older tins and really high prices. I have seen McClelland Christmas Cheer from the 90's go for over $100 on ebay. Unlike cigars you do not need a humidor or humidifier. Most people use mason jars or some kind of jar that seals. Most people keep everything in a cellar type (basement) environment. I am not a pipe expert but I decided this year to get more serious about pipe smoking and I am learning tons.

I'm definitely not a pipe expert at all, but the aging of anything is so interesting to me to see how stuff changes. I really only pull the pipe out a few times a month when I'm short on time or just in the mood for some "holiday" cheer!
