  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

HOT BACCY!!

Quick question for all you pipers out there. I'm not very versed in the art of pipes, but would really like to leave my pipe and some baccy in my care to smoke too and from work, HOWEVER!, I'm in Dallas and the internal car temps can quickly go over 110 degrees and my car stays in the sun for a good 10-12 hours a day.

Will this have any adverse affects on the tobacco or the pipe?

THANKS!

It'll dry it out.

I pack either an empty tin or sometimes a NUB tubo with my baccy. Stays good for several days.

Ziploc bags last a day or two.

But, never noticed any ill effects other than that, load my pipe up as I leave work almost every day.

If you leave it in the car you're asking for trouble. The baccy will sweat with the heat and humidity and become more moist. Stuff your bowl with this and you will have tongue bite. Flame plus moisture equals steam=tongue bite. Keep you baccy at your desk if indoors.
Good call. What about leaving my pipe in the car?

My pipes have been ok out of the sun of course. Where I live our dew points have been in the 70s while temps in the 90s. I accidentally left a ziploc of OJK in there the other day and there was actual water inside the sealed bag lol

Haha. Dang. Yeah, it's been 95-100 here in Dallas the last few days. I'm surprised my dashboard hasn't melted yet.

I've left cigars in my truck in a herf a dor because I forgot to bring it in or already have too much to carry in with me already. Then again NY weather is never consistent to the seasons...ever. And I keep the cigarillos in my truck. Luckily, no issues with smoking from the herf a dor or the cigarillos.
