I'm just digging your Borkum Riff LE tins.
That's actually an interesting idea, especially since it'd let me see everything without having to move around huge, cumbersome bins. It's already a royal PITA trying to dig tins out of that trunk, so I can't imagine how awful it'd be to stack multiple ones on top of each other.
This closet is in my office/den, so zero need for clothes in the closet. It's fully dedicated to all things pipe.
I feel a Home Depot trip in my future.

They're all yours if you want them.I'm just digging your Borkum Riff LE tins.

Thanks for the offer, Jason! I would hate to deprive another from such a delectable smoke.
My pantry. Floor to ceiling of tobacco!? Would be an awesome sight.
I may have to throw next year's NFL Pick 'Em game. I'd do a PIF, but I feel like that would be too mean to a newer smoker who doesn't know any better.
Yeah... the idea is definitely growing on me.
Maybe we send some Borkum Riff to the guy who gets eliminated first, and he has to smoke a bowl.
Oh man... that's a good idea.
We'll have to make sure everyone provides their address ahead of time, so that the "winner" doesn't duck out on his "prize."
Almost makes me want to try it just to see if its as bad as peeps say lol.... "almost"

This is my LE Borkum Riff, I don't know what version everyone else is hoarding though.

I've never had any borkum riff blends at all. Not sure yet if I want to break that streak yet lol. I don't know that I've ever heard anything good about them lol.
My pops made me buy him some, since it's what he used to smoke back in the 70s.
He was being difficult about trying anything else, until I finally got him to try Ennerdale. Now, whenever we smoke together on the rarest of occasions (he has COPD so he can only do small bowls outside the watchful eyes of my mom), he wants to have a Lakeland blend. I consider it one of my greatest pipe successes, though I still have a mason jar of Borkum Riff at the bottom of my cellar wasting away.

Interesting...reminds me of a conversation I recently had with my physician, who is a pulmonary specialist. We were talking about someone smoking with a lung condition and I mentioned pipes. He was all for that over cigarettes as any problems with a pipe are mouth related. He said think of how many people you hear of with lung cancer that smoke cigarettes as opposed to how many people you hear of with mouth cancer that smoke pipes. He seemed all for pipe smoking...seemed unusual to me coming from a doctor, but hey, he's had over 40 years experience in pulmonary medicine.
I have no idea what your Dad's condition is or what his doctor has advised him, but it may be an idea to discuss with his doctor if he hasn't already. It might give a little ammo to use if your Mom catches him smoking.
I think you may be the first person ever to use "Borkum Riff" and "hoarding" in the same sentence.
Pretty sure just about anyone here that has any got it when P&C was giving them away as freebies.
Here's a peak at my display. My display is usually made up of tins/jars I'm currently working through or my favourites that I go through so fast that they don't dry out.
Most of my tobacco is actually not in jars which brings lots of questions. However, I always have a humidifier running in the room (because I don't like dry skin or chapped lips) and the tobaccos do just fine in the original tin as long as I smoke them within a month or so.
I have more in a cellar. But it's quite honestly a mess... Maybe I will organize that another time and post a picture.

The small bowl thing is his own choosing. If he has larger bowls, he winds up coughing for an entire day even without inhaling the smoke. He also is one of those old school pipe smokers who just railroad through the bowl at lightspeed, so that may have something to do with it.Interesting...reminds me of a conversation I recently had with my physician, who is a pulmonary specialist.

Though my dad has another condition that requires him to up his sodium intake when he starts feeling off. So, two of his doctors basically told him to go order a Big Mac whenever he felt that his symptoms were oncoming. So, not one, but two doctors prescribed him a Big Mac. I believe they referred to it as a sodium bomb.
Yup, I got mine free from P&C. I never wanted the darned things to begin with. I think I may have even left a note to not give them to me, but I got em anyway. I'm pretty sure that P&C didn't want them either.
Does Borkum Riff need it's own thread where we can all lament about our experiences with it? lol
