    Best Rope/Twist For Chewing?

    I read in these forums and elsewhere that rope or twist tobacco (are those terms interchangeable?) was chewed by sailors/miners back in the day, and that some people still do it. Wanting to give my lungs a break, I recently decided to try this, and bought some Gawith ropes: Brown Irish X and...

    Mainly to assert some independence during the lockdowns. And to deal with a nicotine habit based on cigarettes and vapes. Rather than an easy way to get a quick fix, this requires patience and care, so it can't easily be turned into just a physically addictive behavior. When done right it...

    Hello from NY

    Yes, I have a relative who lives on Waverly. NYC can be an interesting, fun city. Although I think one day I will move somewhere quieter/with more nature and less crowded.

    Hello from NY

    Thanks. I'm in Queens. Seems there aren't many good B&M shops around. Nat Sherman's closed down. I went to the old "De La Concha" which is now a Davidoff, but not a large pipe section.
