What are You Reading Now?
Listening to the audiobook version of this one. Fantastic narration by Taron Egerton (who played Elton in the Rocketman film) really brings it to life.- Snook

How Do You Store a Lit Bowl
I usually set it somewhere for a few minutes so it can cool before putting it in a pouch. I would also recommend buying a couple of the small metal wind-screens that cover the bowl. I've found these to be great for keeping tobacco contained if I'm loading a pipe to take with me on the go. They...- Snook

What is your Favorite Christmas Blend?
I just had some Boswell's Christmas Cookie for the first time the other day and was pretty impressed. Prior to that, the only other holiday-themed blend I had tried was Sutliff Christmas Spice which is also quite good.- Snook

Taking My Leave
We didn't interact much, but I always appreciated your terse no-nonsense responses here on the forum and your knowledge of the hobby. I'll never forget the photoshopped image of the guy shrugging with his face superimposed on his palms. Take care, Embers.- Snook

Forum Numbers
I've felt this exact same sentiment and it's why I hardly post on here. I'm always "too late to the game" with new threads and feel my thoughts/input have probably already been covered. As an aside: why are people constantly resurrecting years-old threads on here? Don't replies get disabled at...- Snook

I like it! What's your setup like? I just got back into record collecting and bought a Fluance RT85. I'm really liking it so far.- Snook

Cellar Noob PSA: Bulk vs. Tins vs. Jars
Amen to that! Most of my cellar is bulk blends... I feel like I specifically avoided exploring a lot of tin-only blends for the sole purpose of saving money in this hobby. Haha. Once I get my cellar to the stockpile I want, I'll branch out a little and try some tin blends more often. Now, let's...- Snook

Low Nicotine pipe tobacco
Look for cavendish (black or gold) in the ingredients. That will be a good indicator that a blend is low nicotine. Also avoid Latakia and Perique as those can increase the nicotine content of a blend quite a bit.- Snook

How Do You Organize Your Tobacco Cellar?
Mine is broken up into two different sections. I have my tobacco and pipe cabinet, which has about 100 or so pint jars of different blends that I smoke regularly. The bulk of my cellar is stored in the little closet under our stair landing. Right now, I have mostly everything in 64oz jars, which...- Snook

Simple Pleasures
Beautiful sentiment, I couldn't agree more. It's the simple things and the moments of peace and quiet that bring the most happiness. There are few things I enjoy more than sitting out on the patio, enjoying the breeze, and watching our animals hang out in the yard.- Snook

Wet Shave
I've had a short beard since I could grow one, but there was a time about ten years or so ago that I got into shaving my neck and cheeks above the beard with a safety razor. I enjoyed the process of lathering with a boar brush and slowly scraping with the razor. I kind of gave up on it...- Snook

Thank you for the suggestions. I'll try drying it out beforehand and packing a little more loosely. Will report back with my findings.- Snook

Issue Smoking Flakes
I was smoking some Quiet Nights for the first time in a long while last night, and had the realization that I tend to avoid smoking flakes because I have a hard time keeping them lit. This seems to happen especially when the bowl hits the halfway mark. When preparing, I'll usually rub the flake...- Snook
