What Did You Smoke Today? (Pipe Edition)

Opened a 2015 tin of Sixpence today. Such an intoxicating aroma! And a tasty tobacco!

I had some of that aging for a couple years. Still tastes like baby powder!

Thanks! I'll order a tin on the next go-round

This batch is better than the last. Aging doesn't help unless you age it in a semi-sealed condition, i.e. in a mason jar with the lid disk upside down. Need to keep an eye on the moisture tho, you don't want it to get too dry.

I've tried the upside down lid trick, but can't get that taste out. The floral note dies down, but it still tastes like baby powder. Same with the Rum Flake, Bob's Chocolate, etc.

Love that baby powder action... in a devoted pipe. You ever want to trade you baby powder flakes, hit me up.

Well yes, it doesn't totally go away but usually it fades to the point where it's at least tolerable. Mine gives a whiff of baby powder at first but seems it's pretty well gone (or you're numb to it) by the time the first 1/4 of the bowl is gone.

Earlier today I put away a couple of bowls of Esoterica Dorchester while winding down after a grueling 5K, LOL :)

It's a charming VaPer but I can't fall too much in love with it as I've only got an inch or so of it left in the jar & my work no longer takes me to Charlottesville, VA on a regular basis, on which trips I would frequent the store that stocks it.

...why would you ruin one of the best parts about Louisanna Flake????!!!!

Lakeland Snot only brings out character in pipe weeds.
