What Did You Smoke Today? (Pipe Edition)

[NeverBend]

...Ending the evening trying something new - dousing some tobacco in W.L. Weller (and sealing it up) and trapping some tobacco in a bag with a small container of W.L. Weller. I want to see what the difference, if any, will be.

I'll probably let the doused (I suppose you could say soused) dry and then hit it again.

If it can walk a straight line you dried it too much .

I'm fairly new to pipes (about a year experience) and FVF is my favorite Virginia blend by far. I just got a shipment in though and I got a tin of Dunhill Flake. I'm looking forward to seeing how it compares.

If you haven't already, jar up some of the FVF and then lose it for a few years. I have a gigantic mason jar tucked away that I filled with a box or two of the stuff back in 2011. You'd be convinced I'm growing diamonds, not storing tobacco.

Day one, and the experiment is going well based on the aroma. The tobacco dried a touch overnight but it smells very strongly of good, real whiskey, unlike some other whiskey aros I've sniffed before that seemed a bit "generic". I'll leave it sealed until tomorrow and hit it again with the stuff, then allow it to sit for a week or so, then do a final drying down to reasonable levels. Then the taste test will begin!

I'm inside from working in the shop. My pipe cabinet is coming along nicely! Had a nice bowl of Balkan Sasieni while I was out there, and I would have stayed for a second but I just can't handle the cold. Mom has Raynaud's Syndrome (or whatever it's called) and although it's less prevalent in males, I think I may have it too. Started noticing it in my early-to-mid 20s. Seems like my fingers and toes are much, much more sensitive to mild temperatures than most everyone I know.
