Organic tobacco stores differently than processed pipe tobacco (even the natural stuff that has no chemicals or pesticides added after curing). You store it dry and dark and it will continue to age (a good thing). If you store it humidified at 70% (like in a humidor) it will easily mold after

8 miles on the Quickbeam on a route I often do. Down to Holy Rosary and back. Recovering from a number of things that hit last week, I wasn't sure if I would be able to get out today. I did my push-ups and squats, and that helped get things flowing to the point I was on the edge, so I decided

Pipe. This sort? [image: Inline image 1] 15 years after quitting a 25 year cigarette habit I was very tempted to take up a pipe (again) when a friend gave me a very nice briar and a can of top unscented Virginia. I didn't, though. Tell me why I shouldn't take it up again. I have to say that

Pipe tobacco will last a long time. Even years if in an air tight container. They even make these little moisture tabs you can stick to the lid. I agree, smoking a pipe is one of life's simple pleasures. Contemplative. I'll smoke mine maybe once a month. There are bike rides and then there are
