Having My First Kid - It's a Boy!
This one is so simple, but I had totally forgotten how much I liked playing catch as a kid. Thanks for the reminder!- orthodoxpiper

Having My First Kid - It's a Boy!
All good advice, gents! Looking forward to the adventure. Can't wait until he's a bit older and we can go hiking and all that fun stuff.- orthodoxpiper

Nasal Snuff
I for sure get the black snot, especially with coarser snuffs. It's not quite as bad with fine snuffs like an Irish toast. Definitely my least favorite part about it, but if I could just control myself and only take a pinch or two it wouldn't be as bad. I don't snuff around my wife because both...- orthodoxpiper

Nasal Snuff
I've got you covered on the Latakia snuff - Sir Walter Scott's Latakia Blend Snuff 15g, Sir Walter Scott's, Mr.Snuff Online - https://mrsnuff.com/walter-scotts-latakia-blend-snuff-p-3788.html I'd be interested to try a pinch or two, but I don't want to commit to a whole tin since I'm not a big...- orthodoxpiper

Nasal Snuff
Even if you snuff a lot (and I do), it's gotta be the most cost effective vitamin N delivery system there is. Pipe smoking is almost expensive compared to snuff! I spent ~$100 on my last snuff order, and it's hard to calculate, but I suspect it will last well over a year, maybe even pushing...- orthodoxpiper

Nasal Snuff
The ones I find myself returning to the most are F&T High Dry T, WoS Irish 22, Viking Thor's Hammer, Bernard Zwiefacher, SWS Lundy Foot & Havana Toast in no particular order. You should be able to try all those out for under $30-40 depending on what sizes you get. Top three would probably be...- orthodoxpiper

Massachusetts Flavored Tobacco Ban
Wilke does have a storefront in Fall River, but it's not called Wilke, it's Old Firehouse Smoke Shop. They blend in the back, and sell Wilke, Peterson, and a few other random blends from various brands. The new owner of Wilke is a nice guy, and it would be a shame if they had to stop selling a...- orthodoxpiper

How Would You Build Your Cellar: A Timing Question?
I haven't really had the money to cellar deeply since returning to piping (especially with my first child on the way), but with a potential ban around the corner, I'm feeling the heat. Even if this one doesn't go through, I am truly seeing the writing on the wall for the first time. I knew...- orthodoxpiper

How Would You Build Your Cellar: A Timing Question?
I really recommend you check out Swedish snus. Snuscentral.com has a wide variety. The shipping to the US is steep, so you have to order in bulk to make it worth it, but it's much better for your health, and should end up cheaper than cigarettes by a decent margin. If you like straight tobacco...- orthodoxpiper

Blend Similar to Presbyterian Mixture With a Touch More Latakia?
Sub-clergy represent! I'm a subdeacon! I was actually realizing as I was smoking Presbyterian Mixture the connection to the Greek term, and realizing I had no idea what they believed. Still haven't gotten around to looking it up yet, haha.- orthodoxpiper

First Impression: Cornell & Diehl's Haunted Bookshop
I have had them back to back, and definitely find them similar, but I prefer the Billy Budd Blonde. I feel the cigar leaf kind of rounds it out and adds a nice creaminess to the smoke, along with a little extra depth to the flavor. I wasn't overly impressed by HB, but I'm not a hardcore burley...- orthodoxpiper

Cant Stop Smelling My Jars
I can only smoke once a week, and I when I do smoke I usually want to pop a tin on a new blend (I've got quite a backlog...), so everything in the jars is aging. I would love to pop them open for a smell, but I don't want to disrupt this aging process. Drives me crazy! Sometimes I sniff the lid...- orthodoxpiper

What do you call a good pipe tobacco
I like a decent nic kick, no bite - VA/Pers and Orientals mostly. FVF, McC Pebblecut, McC Classic Samsun are all favorites. Trying to find substitutes for the McC now, but haven't found anything quite as satisfying. I'm trying to get into burley blends, mostly because of the nic content and...- orthodoxpiper
