Nasal Snuff in USA?
John Crouch Tobacconist in Alexandria, VA has a shelf of McChrystal's behind the register. I wish I'd taken a picture when I was there last month. I remember that they had O&G, Smoker's Blend, Violet, something cinnamon, something like spearmint, and probably another half-dozen. I bought the...- JoeW

***What Are You Smoking, October 2025?***
Yesterday I tried some KBV Golden Age, courtesy of @tubbyninja1337 Very lemony, very pleasant! Today, some Ampersand Flake in a Falcon- JoeW

***What Are You Smoking, October 2025?***
Yesterday I tried some Milan Tobacco “Our” Carter Hall in a Falcon. @Phiredog graciously provided a sample—thank you! I think I prefer this to the regular CH, but I’m saving the rest for a side by side comparison between this, original CH, and the Sutliff match.- JoeW

Jorge Cigars - Question
I have only tried one Jorge, an habano, and did not experience this...but instead, the draw became extremely tight just past the halfway point. I used the Perfecdraw, and it pulled out an huge piece of leaf: after that, the draw was wide open and the flavor completely disappeared. It was...- JoeW

***What Are You Smoking, October 2025?***
Pegasus: inaugural smoke of my new 2025 Peterson Dracula I went to the DC area for a company retreat at the end of September, and took along cash from my moonlighting fund, hoping to spend it on some rare or unusual tobacco. First place I visited was Georgetown Tobacco, where I saw this...- JoeW

How Do You Pick Your Next Smoke?
Spur of the moment method: I look at my jars and choose my tobacco about 2 minutes before I light it, based on what sounds good at that moment and the amount of time I have. If I can't decide (or don't want to spend the energy), I go with a current favorite (lately, Tashkent or Ampersand Flake...- JoeW

What tobacco next?
Try Rattray’s Red Rapparee. EMP was too bland for me; RR was much tastier. Another vote for Father Dempsey, and don’t overlook F&K Lancer.- JoeW

Cigar TAD 2025
Some day I'm going to have to make a trip to PA to visit all the important sites: the cigar and tobacco shops. Holt's would be interesting, and I'd have to visit Boswell's, at very minimum. Let us know which COTM(s) you end up joining, and how you like them!- JoeW

What Cigar Are You Smoking? 2025
Yep, on the rare occasions when I have time to sit out and enjoy a cigar, I don't want an unending parade of esoteric flavors, I simply want a nice, satisfying smoke. Whatever that means at the time--more and more often, an ordinary CT will fill that desire. Strange is right! It's due to hit...- JoeW

Cigar TAD 2025
My first COTM was Holt's: I got out of that one after a few months. Too many Rocky Patels and Oliva Vs, and poorly constructed sticks (Argyle, Don Lino). From there I joined Smoke Inn's COTM, and was much happier with that: same price, better quality cigars. Unfortunately, I don't smoke...- JoeW

How Do You Organize Your Tobacco Cellar?
How do I organize my tobacco cellar? N/A. In the basement I have a spare kitchen cabinet with 2 drawers stuffed with jars and tins: both for long-term storage and because what my wife doesn't see, doesn't exist. In my office area I keep a large bin which was originally my rotation: a bunch of...- JoeW

How Do You Organize Your Tobacco Cellar?
In the early 2000s, I worked at Control Data in MN, in the building where Seymour Cray worked and with some people who knew him. It was a memorable experience.- JoeW

What Cigar Are You Smoking? 2025
This afternoon I’m enjoying an Old Virginia Cabinet, which I bought at the Old Virginia Tobacco store in Alexandria, VA, about one week and 3 hours ago. Not the fanciest cigar in the humidor, but it’s exactly what I wanted today.- JoeW

Shag Tobacco
Kendal No.7 is my favorite shag so far. Kendal Kentucky may be second. No.6 is ok, but not nearly as good. Kendal Gold No.9 Coconut is also pleasant. I bought an ounce of Three Sails last month, and tried it the other night, not expecting much because it’s cheap: I was surprised at how much I...- JoeW
