Went into Straus for some Sleepy Hollow and found some tag alongs
The best way I've found to rehydrate dry pipe tobacco is to place the tobacco in a large bowl. Something with a wide bottom and wider mouth. Then, get a towel and soak it with hot water. You don't need to worry about using tap water because the water will never touch your tobacco. Hot water seemed to work well for me as well. Also, your towel should be larger than the opening of your bowl. So now that your towel is hot and wet, drap it over the mouth of the bowl making sure to cover it all and also making sure the towel doesn't slip in and touch the tobacco.
Let it sit like this for a couple hours to overnight. Check it as often as you like. When your tobacco is moist enough, jar it up and enjoy. If it's too moist, just let it sit out a bit and dry back out some.
Very easy to do, and no damage to the tobacco and little risk of over hydrating I think. Give it a shot and let me know how it works for you.

I broke down today and put a bid in on a GG poker pipe from the Ukraine after reading several favorable reviews and comments on them. Can't wait to get it in.
Yup, love my G.G. poker, it's a damn good smoker for the money. I think I gave like $55 on Amazon with free shipping and was worth every penny.I broke down today and put a bid in on a GG poker pipe from the Ukraine after reading several favorable reviews and comments on them.

I've got one that looks very similar that I picked up in a tobacco shop back in Alabama. I really enjoy mine but I have no clue if it is a GG or basket pipe
Moretti reverse calabash.
So they still make Patriot Flake?? I wonder if they have a date code on that you can figure how old it is. I have some that is pretty old and really really good...Just for fun.

They do still make it. There is also a date sticker on the back. You need some?

We may need to work something out here soon! It may not be as good fresh as what I have, but a few tins in the cellar won't hurt at all!
