I’ve been smoking pipe since the mid -80’s….have several pipes and that is what you need you need to change pipes often and it takes time to get them done to smoke, it have to be brought into the zone of good taste…tobacco taste? I got several tin cans of ‘my own blend’, wich i got from a friend wich father was real pipesmoker, and his blend his own cause he bought enough of it…the cool thing about tin cans is that the mature process is still going but very slow, so slow that the tobaco gets more tastefull but with a mellow intencity so there are no resistance in your taste experience….that do not count for tobacco that contains smoked material…that smoked taste will win….that kind of tobacco need to be consumed at once, many disagree with that…so there you go…
yes i see what you mean, needs time to dry out from the moisture or it will start to break?
i was thinking if i begin to smoke then id like to blend my own select taste, maybe even try growing tobacco

I don’t (yet) have the cap and pipe but I did indeed buy a 4 pack of Adnams at the co-op and took it back in my panniers (Ortlieb classic black), although I split the plastic bit and take 2 cans in each pannier to balance the weight (there is all sorts of other tat in there such as my netbook, toolkit/pump and sometimes paperwork from the office.
that said I am considering just getting a case sent down from Southwold every 2 weeks as the co-op is charging a silly price for the cans these days..
yep – I used to quite like them. There was an old Asian dude what ran a shop near my mates in Reading in the late 90s. you had to ask him specially for them and he’d only sell them to you if he trusted you as apparently they were against EU rules. they aren’t good for you and not made in very right on ways at all (child labour etc)
During my early teens the 80s I always had to be careful in the Asian shops nearer my home, it was alright if the sons of the owners were there or the menfolk but if you got the old granny lady she’d refuse to serve me and there would be a good chance my mum would find out I’d been smoking!
:laugh_at: adnams :laugh_at:
i bloody hate that stuff.
yeh i see what you mean on the weight, i tried loading up the panniers before that camping trip and forgot id put all the water on one side… tried to pull off *doof*.
yeah single cans are getting more expensive, but is it just me or are crates getting cheaper??
yeah – they are interesting, but i found it very harsh (didnt have much). might have been cheap ones or something. but yeah – i read that they are made very cheaply, children / woman used as the majority labour force. so not very ethical.
