Greetings,

I have a question that I have not yet seen addressed anywhere.  I am
fond of camping and backpacking.  In some of the places I go, it is
necessary to hang food and other "smellables" from a tree to prevent
bears from getting them.  I am wondering if pipe tobacco falls in this
category.  I think that it is probably wiser to be safe than sorry,
but the idea of hanging my tobacco in a tree disturbs me greatly, as I
enjoy smoking before bed.  Also, in these bear infested areas, campers
are advised not to brush their teeth, or apply any smellable substance
to themselves so as not to attract any curious bears.  I hope that
tobacco does not fall in this category and would like to know if
anyone has information related to bears being attracted to pipe smoke.
Thanks for all of the great work you do with this publication and any
help you can provide.

Sincerely, 
Peter Travis

At least, it's probably a good idea to leave the aromatics at home and
stick with English blends.
