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 the next few weekends 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.

Caldwel Cigars - Long Live the King
+1, dry box or rest in your stash for a week. very gnarly wrapper, reminds me of rough broadleaf like la casita or old henry clay, and it seemed prone to humidity issues to me. in between relights, it was beastly strong and had a nice rich mouth feel. i dug them, and plan on revisiting them.- javajunkie

Aging pipe tobacco...
most people agree tins are solid for long term. if it is opened longer than a week, i jar it. EDIT and meine herr dutchman ninja'd me. o) BUT one thought about the size of jars is how much you want to have open at any time. if you only crack a "8oz advertized" jar, you have 2 oz (or 3 the...- javajunkie

Aging pipe tobacco...
mason jars. clean mason jars, and just seal the shit down well and store away from light and heat. there is some debate over how much room for air (if any) to leave, but that mostly boils down to personal preference. aging pipe tobacco yields similar results to aging cigars: flavors come...- javajunkie

Noob question - pipe cleaners?
BJlong are the best i have found so far, but anything works as long as they don't throw a bunch of fluff into the airway. taper can be nice, but i have a couple pipes with narrow airways that don't like them. and, for me, bristled are only used for resto or deep cleaning; if you are running...- javajunkie
