Snus recommendations
I’m a keen piper, but I have taken up a dirty old habit of smoking cigarettes during the day while at work to get my nic hit. I really want to stop that.

Cigarettes Affecting Pipe Taste
Title edited for capitalization. Rule 9! I’ve been having the odd cigarette during the day to fix the nic and have noticed a dramatic drop off in flavor when I sit down to have my pipe end of day. Anyone else experienced this? Or is there something else at play?- Eastmon

Post Covid Taste
Just had my turn at Covid last week. Wasn’t exactly a walk in the park, but nowhere near as bad as I’ve been sick before. Anyway, I’ve found that the taste I’m getting off my favs are quite different and I’m really hoping that’s a short term effect. What your guys experience with this...- Eastmon
