I’m liking the way you think.
True but in a month they don’t look so big again
That tub came at the perfect dryness level! I'd never seen that before. I opened it abs get ready to set some out to dry, but I didn't have to. Still in disbelief, I loaded up my trusty MM Mark Twain and went to town! Well, I went to my front porch. Smoked down to ash on the initial light (the one after the charring light). No wonder those former, current, and future codgers bought it by the tub! So much better than a pouch! And it's already flying out of the tub since it's so fuss free. I can see it playing about 2 months.
That about the cobs, that's not quick thinking on my part, as much as I wish it were. That's after intense negotiations between Procurement and Budgetary Committees. But that's how collective bargaining can work for you.
I don’t jar it; I smoke itIt will take two quart mason jars and a couple of half-pints to jar it all up.
The top layer keeps the underlying moist all the way to the bottom. I really like those big tubs. I have eight open at the moment and never run into “too dry”.
Blue Room Briars is having their annual 15% off sitewide sale. Picked up this Bill Walther blasted egg. Fantastic mechanics.
and a few cleaners, 4,800 to be exact.

This. And that top layer is usually just at the right condition for ready smoking.
Almost 5,000! That's enough cleaners to run one after every puff!

Smoking a corn dog in aviators and a top hat
Added to my collection of tobacquisitions that don't directly relate to smoking. Once I clean it up and find a spot for it, this table will house an ashtray and a pipe rest. Possibly one of my nicer pipes on display.
I spotted Blue Room Briars' 15% off sale, and seized on this: Georg Jensen 09 Sandblast Billiard with Brass Estate Pipe – Blue Room Briars - https://tinyurl.com/zp5wrbz
I've been going back and forth between this Georg Jensen, a Chacom billiard with a nickel band, and a Chacom panel foursquare in a deep black. I liked all 3, but the big panel I thought might be a little overwhelming for me. And I wanted a dark straight sandblast, a traditional "English" kind of pipe, or like the kind pictured in so many of the Codger Cabin ads.

I'd forgotten, but Blue Room remembered my $1.00 credit from my previous transaction, when the pipe I chose plus shipping was $1.00 less than the credit for 2 of my old pipes. This is my 3rd buy from them. Scott's customer service has been great.

Gee, learn something every day. Guess I'll dump the CH back in the tub.
Although I do have an open tub of Granger that's pretty dry. Guess it might be the different cut.
All my pipes pass cleaners so I use them liberally during and after every smoke, especially purchased in bulk at 15% off.
Next time try just popping it open and experiencing the codger scoop. Perfectly dry tobacco, not overly dry. I can't help you with the Granger though, I've never had that. But I'm sure someone will be here in a minute to say.Gee, learn something every day. Guess I'll dump the CH back in the tub.

That’s a handsome pipe, esp with the 4 brass bands.
That was what caught my attention too. I went back and forth between it and the Chacom with 1 wider nickel band for a while.
Ordered a pouch of Sir Walter (my first from Feb. is almost gone) and 2 oz. of Edgeworth Match from P&C. I considered adding some Briggs Match and some Velvet, but I really do have *plenty* of tobacco. These two items will just replenish my stock.
“Pretty dry” isn’t all that bad but you can just put a slice of apple in the tub and it will rehydrate nicely. Granger is a thin cube cut while the CH is mostly ribbon.Gee, learn something every day. Guess I'll dump the CH back in the tub.

Velvet is quite mild - milder than what you are used to but a pouch won’t be a terrible risk.

If you are not smoking through a tub fast enough, one tip to add a couple more open months is to put the entire tub in a one gallon hefty freezer bag. Zip open the bag and then pop open the tub when you want a smoke.
I know not everyone burns through a 12 or 14 ounce tub in a couple or a few weeks. If you're one of those more measured smokers, the bag will give you the extra time and peace of mind to go longer without resorting to the mason jars.
