Right? They know everything about me yet never send me pipe videos

Brilliant episode - a topic that we all need to understand as pipe smokers 😊 thank you Jeremy

Great episode! I store all of my tobacco in mason jars inside of a wine cooler. It’s been about 3 years so far and no issues.

For bulk tobacco, I’ve come to appreciate thick Mylar pouches (7mil or better) that I then heat seal. No gas exchange, no light issues, sturdy, and easy to store. Pint and half-pint gusseted pouches are ideal for portioning it into 2-4oz amounts for aging.

I bought some large glass storage jars from a restaurant wholesale website. (They have those metal ring locking mechanisms with the rubber seal) They do an excellent job of storing the tobacco. ( I have been aging this blend I made for about 7 years now)

Enjoyable and informative video, as are all of your others. Please keep sharing your expertise with us!

Wonderful video, Mr. Reeves! Thank you so much!

Thanks for sharing this information with us. I appreciate your viewpoint on this topic.

Thank you !!!

i started s callar recently and found this helpful

Informative video. Thank you

Great video content…well done.👍 Thanks Jeremy

Great help...good information I have not heard some of the things before

Cellar wide and deep!

Most of my C&D tobaccos remain un-opened, some of them 20+ years. (Yes, I have quite the stockpile.) Hope I live long enough to taste some of them. That may not happen, but it's a goal, y'know.

Our pleasure!

Just got myself a tin of your Dreams of Kadath Plug tobacco, and can not wait to open it up later on and give it a go. My first plug ever, so definitely looking forward to that.

Would really like to hear more about stoving techniques and science.

Good morning and thank you for all the information and suggestions as well as for the quality of your precious tobaccos. Can I allow myself to ask a question? Recently I was able to taste the Pirate Kake, Orient Express and also the Meridian (which, even though it is from Pease, you produce), I wanted to ask what causes that "pine needle, resinous" flavor that these blends partly share. Thanks for the reply.

Great Video! I have been smoking a pipe a little over 20 years and during that time I have cellared tons of tobacco. Only way to go. Oh and I have smoked Blue Note and 1Q for all of these years. I bought 2 tins of the steamworks on release day a few weeks ago and I just ordered 5 more tins, needless to say it's my new favorite. Please keep this one in production.

what's the recommended temperature of a cellar? Mine stays in between 66 and 67° F. Is that excessively cold could I have it at around 70-71°F?

Hello sir Great video and info.what's the recommended temperature of a cellar? Mine stays in between 66 and 67° F. Is that excessively cold could I have it at around 70-71°F?

So the age-old question: Should you cellar aromatic pipe tobacco (ex. Cavendish, Virginia blends, etc)?

Jeremy - Thank you for being such an amazing resource to the pipe smoking community. I compulsively put my tobacco into mason jars once I've opened the tin. While C&D does have excellent packaging, I feel that the included plastic cap doesn't seal well enough for cellaring. As a minor note- I live at high altitude and have yet to have a C&D tin fail on me even if they are clearly a bit bulged due to atmospheric pressure differential; I assume that they are sealed much closer to sea level. I have 11 tins of 2021 House Reserve (the virginia blend) that are a bit... rotund. I'm looking forward to opening one in a few weeks when I've got a free mason jar to put it into. It is the blend that came along at the right time in my pipe smoking odyssey where I had gained the ability and observation to smoke a virginia without burning it too hot, which opened a new world to me. Still love english and balkan blends, but I have really come to appreciate virginia leaf, both red and bright (C&D small batch red leaf is wonderful btw... well worth the way it tends to sting my eyes). I have to thank you for this, I love your blends and really appreciate what you do.

Terrific video!! Now, when are you throwing a tobacco pipe smoking party? 😂

I dunno how C&D does it but your blends are just all so good. My regulars include Haunted Bookshop RedBurn Night Train Briar Fox All unique and distinct but all smooth and flavorful. I’m a C&D fanboy

The brights in Night Train are soo good! Very citrus/lemon/floral notes… I could wax poetic for paragraphs about each.

Thank you for your sharing. I have been storing my tobacco in my basement office. It stays around 55 degrees. Is this safe.

@Burley_Bert

Ай бұрын

Just like a whiskey barrel. Heat makes the effect of aging more rapid. Fluctuations are our enemy as is humidity. If it’s sealed well you will have no issues.

Which of C&D blends do you believe ages the best?

@Burley_Bert

Sugar is the catalyst for fermentation. Anything with Virginias will be noticeable.

So it seems for tubs, like the one featured and centered in this video that he taps on, are always just cellar'ed as is even if semi permeable by design? Would that apply to say a tub of Sir Walter Raleigh ?

@Orochi_001

These tins are metal and not permeable. He’s saying they aren’t vacuum sealed, so there is more air than in something like Mac Baren or Peterson tins.

@@chocolatemonk I’m curious myself to discover the difference between aerobic and anaerobic aging.

Why is aging cigars and aging pipe tobacco so different - when you age pipe tobacco you want to seal it up and keep it closed, but with cigars you want the air to circulate. I’ve never been about to understand what the difference is. Anyone know?

I have a four-year-old tin of Awakened Elder and I'm scared to open it as if some entity has grown within it that I must keep contained.

I was in a rental for more than 10 years. My solution was using and old broken refrigerator ( not plugged in obv) in my garage as my cellar. I did the same for welding rods and other moisture sensitive things. Helps avoid temp fluctuations greatly. I imagine a cooler/ ice chest might be just as good. Happy smokes!

Fermenting of tobacco which is subsequently smoked in a pipe has been around for millennia. It is not an invention of the past several decades.

He didn’t say that aging tobacco was a new phenomenon, he said that pipe smoking transitioned in recent history, key word being recent, from a commodity that was meant to be used as it was made to where it seems to be heading currently which is a treasured hobby. In this context, he said that he didn’t think that pipe smokers of the 1940’s and 50’s were aging their tobacco, there’s nothing about that statement that says modern pipers invented aging tobacco.

I don’t get the whole cigar thing. I’ve smoked quite a few what’s considered high quality cigars and every single one tastes acrid very fast. But when I smoke non aromatic pipe tobaccos I don’t experience that. For me I just don’t see the point of paying 30 dollars for a cigar that ends up tasting acrid but I also don’t think I like the taste of cigar leaves as much as say a good English blend as long as it’s not a lat bomb or a good Kentucky dark fire or a good straight burley or Virginia etc. I even tried a dark fire Kentucky cigar and it was not the same or as tasty as smoking that leaf out of a pipe to me. I only use meerschaum pipes and I find everything tastes better in a meerschaum followed by a corn cob. I don’t care for briars as I get muted flavors but again that’s just me. I agree with your comment of aromatics I started off smoking then but after I dabbed into good non aromatics there was no going back it just isn’t the same for sure
