The Jamaican Rum has lost almost all of its aroma and is pretty dry. 10 years in a ziploc will do that. Going to mix it in with cigarette tobacco and roll it.

Agree, very nice. Are those durable?
Not in my experience. Hot to hold, sure to break soon. I used to smoke them sometimes in Germany, never got more than a few smokes out of them. On the other hand, I'm not as careful or caring as Stubble is with my pipes. You can tell, because my pipes always look as if they'd been smoked before.

Not if you drop them. Stems break easily. All mine are shorter than they used to be. And to prevent them from sucking the moisture out of your lips wax the last inch of the stem. Often they won't pass a pipe cleaner, so throw them in the fire on the coals and let them cool slowly. Despite all this I like them.
Thought I would share. (Hopefully, I can share a genuine moment without a drybeg connotation) After one year in this wonderful piping experience I have cycled through my entire inventory. Today as I start over, I find it interesting or fun coincidence that I randomly pulled the exact same tobacco I began this journey with.

Smoking some Kentucky Dark Fired in the IMP Meerschaum trying to get the grape stink of that Celephais out. Dark fired with fizzy grape aftertaste. Bleah. I'm going to fast forward on Edward's advice, dump that jar in the compost bucket. Maybe my tomatoes will taste like grapes next year.

Oh. Not in the compost. Tobacco is host for several viruses that knock out tomatoes.

Avoid using tobacco products around tomato plants, and wash hands after using tobacco products and before working with the plants. Tobacco in cigarettes and other tobacco products may be infected with either ToMV or TMV, both of which could spread to the tomato plants.
If a virus is confirmed, employ stringent sanitation procedures to reduce spread to other plants, fields, tunnels and greenhouses.
Completely pull up and burn infected plants. Do not compost infected plant material.

I did not know that. Garbage can it is then. The Dark Fired drew some of the ghosting out, but not all. I've cleaned and scraped and smoked, and cleaned, some more. I'd read that meers don't ghost, but, they do. Lesson learned. I suppose that if I wanted to smoke this stuff I'd either have to dedicate a pipe to it, or maybe a cob. I'll never know, because I'm done.
