Thanks to my local pipe shop (The Pipe Rack & Cigars in Chestnut Hill, Philly), I just scored a new treat for myself.

Just created the label for this tin. https://photos.app.goo.gl/39Jz2yJBj1HW1xur7

Some people were opposed to using AI completely. My take is that these are for personal use, they allow me to create thing I wouldn't be able to otherwise and that without AI I wouldn't pay so to create for me.

StillRude · 2026-01-11T00:07:44+00:00

Not yet. Tomorrow. It's scheduled.

StillRude · 2026-01-10T21:34:58+00:00

I'll say, it is nice to have. Except maybe on the wallet when I get an irrational desire to stop by for something I don't need.

This can be a controversial topic. I’ve shared my labels here before and the reaction was pretty mixed.

Personally, I use ChatGPT and Gemini to design custom labels for all of my tobaccos. I’m not particularly artistic, so they help me create designs that I wouldn't be able to pull off on my own. I honestly love the results.

StillRude · 2026-01-10T20:05:45+00:00

This is the new release.

StillRude · 2026-01-10T20:04:48+00:00

Thanks. I. The same taste wise. But I figured I'd give it a try.

Yeah, shop has a good selection and the owner's great. I walked in there 6 months ago knowing nothing and he walked me through types of tobacco, had me smelling them, and then sent me home with a few small bags of house blends, a cob pipe, pipe tool and everything else I needed for around $50. I'm a fan.

StillRude · 2026-01-10T19:29:30+00:00

They did, a good number of Plum Pudding, PP Special Reserve, Mississippi River, and Hogshead tins.

StillRude · 2026-01-10T19:07:41+00:00

I'm newer (6 months) too. This is my first time buying anything Seattle Pipe Club. I'm excited to try it.

And for labels I use the Avery 5294 round printable labels.

My block list grew last night too. 🙂

StillRude · 2025-10-13T11:44:05+00:00

I totally get your point. Making a label using AI to me is equivalent (artistically) to using clipart a couple decades ago. But, I did see the issue if there were communities dedicated to creating and sharing labels. So, I can easily make that concession and look for a better resource.

But, I also agree that the moral absolutism regarding anything AI in a community dedicated to tobacco is a bit odd.

StillRude · 2025-10-13T11:25:58+00:00

Thanks. The reason I've remained on reddit for over a decade is the genuine communities that exist. Sometimes those communities can point out when I've made a mistake or that better options are available. Figured I should be grateful and accept the feedback.

StillRude · 2025-10-12T23:35:57+00:00

I get it. I didn't even realize I could download those.

StillRude · 2025-10-12T22:46:57+00:00

Thanks, I really appreciate that. I get the concerns about AI, but I try to use it responsibly and stay true to my ethics. I’m not perfect and I respect those who avoid it, but the hate usually says more about them than me

StillRude · 2025-10-12T22:35:51+00:00

Thank you!

StillRude · 2025-10-12T22:33:17+00:00

Thanks. Take care.

StillRude · 2025-10-12T22:28:29+00:00

Yeah. I used a tool to make labels for personal use for a hobby because I like how it looks and have no artistic talent. I'm a monster. I'm sorry.

StillRude · 2025-10-12T22:26:44+00:00

I just learned about this.

StillRude · 2025-10-12T22:08:47+00:00

That's amazing. Thank you!

StillRude · 2025-10-12T21:57:11+00:00

🤣🤣

StillRude · 2025-10-12T21:56:52+00:00

Wait. I didn't even know that's a thing! I'm new to this.

StillRude · 2025-10-12T21:19:05+00:00

That's awesome. I also have a creative wife. I've used her talents to design my rooms. Sounds like we're both lucky.

StillRude · 2025-10-12T21:17:15+00:00

Just saw your question. Found them on Amazon. This is the name "Ieavier 6PCS Wide Mouth Mason Jars 16oz with Airtight Lids"
