Beautiful Pipe!

Thank you! I found that it's a good smoker also. The draft hole is ever so slightly off center, but the spigot mount makes that a non issue.

For long term storage - i’ve got a large heated/cooled unit that has a Cigar Oasis electronic humidification system for primary humidity and two pounds of 65% Heartfelt Beads as an emergency backup, and to help ensure over humidification doesn’t become a problem. I generally only keep Cubans, Opus X’s and a few others I find tend to like lower humidity.

For sticks I intend to smoke within the next ~2 years or so, I have three other humidors (Savoy Executive, Daniel Marshall, Diamond Crown) with Boveda packs as a primary, but one has a cigar oasis as well. My favorite of the four is surprisingly the Savoy Exec - as it’s pre-configured to fit two 320gr Boveda Packs, and it’s unique seal system works extremely well - so there’s basically zero maintenance required for ~2 years - and then only 1 minute of swapping the 320gr packs out with new ones.

100 years later . . . I thank you for this.

Value is massively important. Nobody needs more complications in their lives. Being able to leave something alone for months without checking is massively good.

I very quickly changed to the Heartfelt beads after purchasing my two humidors and where I'm storing boxes I put Boveda packs in. Seems to be working well. Replacing some now for boxes I put away 6 and 9 months back. I'm not thrilled with the Stainless steel holders I bought from Heartfelt as they seem to be developing rust. They will work for another decade . . . but just a dumb choice on my part.

They taste better than they look.

The Mrs. Moe and I just spent a couple days in KC. I like to walk through Diebel's in Country Club Plaza. I usually pick up a cigar or two and check out the pipe tobacco. I'm not sure how many times I pinched myself.........

It's been quite a while since I've seen an Esoterica score on here. Congrats!

Nice! Be sure to keep those foil bags in a air tight container. Mine developed pinholes .

I trust no bag nor tin. Everything always goes in mason jars.
