Welcome to the Pipe Tobacco Aging, Storage, and Cellaring FAQ!

This FAQ is a compendium of knowledge and advice for the pipe-smoking enthusiast interested in the aging, storage and cellaring of pipe tobacco. The primary source of the excerpts used in this document is the public archive of the USENET newsgroup alt.smokers.pipes. I have attempted to quote each writer's words precisely, and their meaning faithfully. I have taken the editorial liberty of making slight changes for purposes of readability and conciseness. Each author retains ownership over their original words. Another significant source is TobaccoReviews.com.

Many of these questions have a subjective component, and therefore do not have a single correct answer. In cases where there is a difference of opinion, I have tried to present each view evenly. It is up to the reader to make up his or her own mind.

I have provided comment links throughout this FAQ. Please feel free to use them, as feedback is one of the few ways I know how to improve this document.

Note: all the text that occurs in these little boxes is my own commentary. Read on for the table of contents...

Cheers,

Jason Newquist
