Your latest pipe/pipe tobacco purchase thread....

[K Williams]

Two tins of 2007 GL Pease Westminster from PipeStud. They are both bulging at the top and bottom.

Oak golf tee tampers.

@cgraunke is to blame for this Pipe & Leaf purchase! Do these Sutliff tins hold moisture? Looks like they are made from cardboard.

Not like the other tins. They work ok for temp storage but don't use to age.

 

[cgraunke]

@K Williams IIRC they're lined inside... I can't believe I don't know off hand, but are the McClelland cans metal or lined cardboard? (McC Junkie FAIL)
How about Hearth & Home?

 

[Grrrrr609]

McLellan is metal as well as Pease and c&d. I think h&h is cardboard but they have been starting to put the marquee stuff in metal.

Yea they are kinda lined but still no good for long term storage.

Thanks for the info guys.

Ugh, looks like I need to start opening and jarring some of these tins.

Yeah, me too. Now I have to go through my cellar to find the old Hearth & Home tins...probably all dried out.

@K Williams let us know how they look when you open one. This could either be a sigh of relief or a wake up call for others of us who never gave it a second thought!

I never gave it a thought but have some of the old 8oz cardboard tins lined with foil

I read somewhere (I think on SmokingPipes.com) that the cardboard "tins" are lined and are actually decent for aging tobaccos. I'll see if I can find the article. Still, maybe I'll open one, jar it, and then take a pic of the inside of the tin

 

[cgraunke]

Yeah, I've got a number of the cardboard cans factory sealed...

Wow, that was an interesting read

 

[Whtwtrman79]

I've got some tins to open apparently.....duh duh duh

It really is. Fortunately, almost all of my "tins" like this I received during the winter when the humidity was much lower. Now I know what I'm doing this evening…

And as I sit outside having a cigar and a glass of bourbon, I'm thinking more about this. There is absolutely no harm if I jar Any of the tobaccos that come in those cardboard cans. But there's potentially problems if I don't.

So, from now on, I am just going to automatically put anything from those cardboard tins into jars.

My Middle Earth order finally arrived. As soon as I finish this Eastern Standard cigar...or the wind gusts finish it for me,

I'll take a picture.

Bingo.
