I recently got into pipe smoking, and I have enjoyed it a lot. There is a certain amount of peace and mindfulness about it that I really enjoy.

So I felt it was time to get another pipe — and some more pipe tobacco 😃

I first got into cigars 9 years ago — in 2012. Since then I’ve tried different ways of storing the cigars, here is what I’ve learned so far.

I’ve been smoking cigars for about 10 years — in the summer months, when the weather is nice, I usually smoke every evening. I really enjoy the peace and quiet of sitting outside, smoking, pondering and minding my own business.

But cigars are expensive in Norway, and I’m not travelling much these days… So I figured I’d give pipe smoking a try. I have several cigar friends what speaks highly of it — so why not? 😃

Seasoning a humidor means getting it ready for cigars by saturating the wood with moisture, so that it no longer is hygroscopic.
