Folding And Stuffing Flakes
I try to do the same. Plus it gives me some leeway if I pack a little too tight: if so, after about 2/3 of the bowl has been smoked, I’ll stir up the ash and dump it, then scrape the remaining unburned flake off the sides of the bowl and tamp lightly. Usually I will have no problem burning...- krizzose

Crumble Cut?
That looks more like a blend that has a fair bit of cube cut tobacco in it rather than a crumble cake. It reminds me of Watch City’s Stubb’s Pipe. Gravity fill it as is, light tamp with your thumb, and you should be fine.- krizzose

VaPer recommendation?
What he said. This is my baseline VaPer. I’m not even sure it’s my favorite VaPer, but it is what I judge every other one by. It simple, and each component is always obvious but always complimentary to the other. To my palate, the perique has more dark fruit than spice. Sometimes I...- krizzose

Drying out a Fresh Tin: Your Method?
I oftentimes dry an entire tin when I open it. I just leave it spread out on a plate. If it’s flake I’ll lean the individual flakes on some silverware to get airflow on all sides. 40 minutes to an hour will get most blends to where I like it. If it’s Samuel Gawith, more like a week.- krizzose

Could that be some sort of meerschaum insert? I’ve never seen such a thing, but it could be permanently attached- krizzose

What "The Wife" Thinks
My wife doesn’t mind. She’s one of those weird people who can smoke a few cigarettes if she’s had enough rose, and then won’t have another for months. If I smoke in the house, I do it in my office where’s there a whole house fan, so lingering odor is never an issue. If I close the door...- krizzose

Smokingpipes.com Mystery Tobacco Review
Based on a subtle tagging shift, it looks SP.com is going to only one review per month and will alternate between cigars and pipe blends, instead of a monthly review for each. I hope I’m wrong, but I don’t think so. I’m glad they’re continuing to do it at all, but I have to admit I’ll miss...- krizzose
