Re: Tobacco Storage
Here is an idea...I purchased this on EBay because I thought it should work? I have not tried it, but it seems to me that pouring some plaster-of-paris into any lid should work? I have not actually used it yet, so I am not sure. I added the silicone seal to this jar myself. Soaking a bit of water into the plaster should work like the little buttons?

Re: What are you guys smoking right Now?
Another dark & rainy afternoon in SE Louisiana. At least I got out long enough to get a new cap and a couple of shirts. Smoking some Acadian English in my Dunhill. Drinking some Knob Creek and water.

Re: What are you guys smoking right Now?
Tried an new (to me) blend from C&D this evening while at Arlington Pipe & Cigar called Sunset Harbor flake, it is purported to be a Balkan, most likely due to the inclusion of Izmir as the oriental component.
I bought the tin while I was there tonight and I liked it enough to by a second tin.
As English type blends go this one is a simple 3 part blend Latakia, Oriental & Perique. I was nervous about the perique but decided to take the chance as I can only tolerate a condimental amount.
The one word I will use here is creamy, the latakia was not a super strong variety, the perique was almost unnoticeable, the flavor of the Izmir was there but not overwhelming.
Did I say it was creamy, and it was almost to the very bottom of the bowl, oh and the flake easily fell apart between your fingers. this blend really surprised the hell out of me as it was not what I was expecting..
I'd give it a 3.6 or 3.7 out of 4.
