Trying my 1st "twist" tonight. Any advice?
Agree with Cigarmaster - lots of drying time and gravity-fill. Don't pack tightly. I would add that you should eat dinner first, especially if you have any sensitivity to nicotine.- jbbaldwin

Pros and Cons to Buying Locally vs Buying Online
Concerning my local shop: Cons: They're in the very middle of a shopping mall (that's the biggest negative aspect - egads), the prices are a little higher and the selection is not as deep as I can find with some on-line retailers, and they seem to do mostly cigar business (small store, big...- jbbaldwin

Looking for Virginia Flakes
I've been making my way through a tin of Peter Heinrich's Dark Strong Flake that was recommended to me at the local B&M as a cheaper almost-as-good substitute for Solani. It's VA and burley, smells of molasses in the tin and smokes sweet with no bite (for me). It's going to be a regular for...- jbbaldwin

Nasal snuff...opinions?
Little old ladies in the Appalachians would take the bark off of a small birch twig until it was about the size and diameter of half of a toothpick, wet that, dip it into a can of scotch snuff, and put it between the cheek and gum. It was invariably American Snuff's "Dental" line - I guess the...- jbbaldwin

Jackknife Plug?
+1. I recommend a cube cut for this blend. Nic is not overpowering, to my taste, but slow smoking lessens the effect as well as heightens the muted sweetness.- jbbaldwin

The Cube Cut Method
Another convert - cube cutting makes my flakes taste much sweeter than the fold'n'stuff method. I've been making my way through some GLP Jackknife and a tin of Heinrich's Dark Strong Flake and have had nothing but near-transcendent bowls. Thanks for the tutorial!- jbbaldwin

GH&C Black Irish X
I ordered a tinned XX rope some time ago and was overwhelmed with everything about it. I put it away for a few weeks and then cut some coins, let them dry for about 4 hours and found that it was a little more palatable. The last time I opened the tin and tried the cut-and-dry for several hours...- jbbaldwin

What's a shape you just don't like?
I can't abide the volcanos, especially the straight-grained high-relief stained ones; for some reason, they remind me of leisure suits and avocado-colored shag carpets. -
