Smothered cube steak, mashed potatoes, and broccoli and brussel sprouts medley.
Thanks @CalvinAndHobo, I've had steak and gravy like a bee in the bonnet.

Re: Breaking Cigar News
I figure there's a time and a place for everything God gives. Freedom means free people. It also means those people exercising responsibility and having respect for the freedoms of others, which means compromise.
By now everyone knows that weed was made illegal in order to preserve the profits that had been lost when alcohol prohibition was repealed. It was bizarre to me that people would legitimize one natural product over another. Each has its own inherent risks and rewards, which responsible people should recognize and respect. Don't blow your smoke in the restaurant, don't get baked and go to work, drive, etc.
It seems like common sense, to me. But, I'm weird, so, there's that.
Re: Pipe tips for Cigar People, what we've learned...
I tend to jar everything, sooner or later. As long as those silver ziplocks remain airtight, you're good. As far as tins go, there's 3 major types that I'm aware of.
- The old fashioned screw on tin. You know, the ones that you insert a coin or screwdriver or some such to release the vacuum and then unscrew it. Those will be ok for some time, as long as they remain sealed and airtight. The tobacco will dry out rapidly after that.
- First type of plastic top tin also has a metal container, everything's good as long as the top isn't ajar. I find that I sometimes accidentally lift one side of it when moving it around in the cabinet, something to watch for.
- Then there's the similar ones that will last long, but not permanent in my experience because the container is some form of waxed cardboard.
I say always smoke some of the tobacco before trying to rehydrate, you may not find any intervention necessary. Sometimes you'll want to, though. Case in point: I have some Star of the East Flake that the cap seems to keep going ajar, got too dry. I've tossed in a boveda and things got better.
