Very helpful, guys. My HOPE is that it's just a funky cross-contamination thing going on...and it sounds like maybe that's not overly optimistic! Thanks!

It's not glamorous, but: If you're really having a little bit of trouble, try wetting the tip of your finger and then moistening the insides of your nostrils. It'll help get the snuff to catch in the front of the nose...if nothing else, it buys you some time to work on the technique without...

Merry Christmas to all of you fine folks!

Yes! Blackpoint never gets enough buzz as I think it should - I'm glad to see you mention it. To me, it does all of things that Nightcap does, but better.

GLP Quiet Nights in a Todd Harris bent bulldog. I'll miss this blend if it ends up going the way of the dodo.

Telegraph Hill is number one with a bullet. I can't say enough about the stuff - my favorite GLP, very probably my favorite blend regardless of brand, and as close as I can get to a "desert island tobacco." Truthfully, I like pretty much every GLP I've ever had...but if I were to put...

DrT is dead on, as always. Basically, picture hot apple cider with all of the traditional holiday spices and (to make it even remotely enjoyable) a bit of booze.

If you're smelling plenty of dark, tarmac-y goodness that is the prominent part of the scent with a few botanicals in there just for kicks, but no minty sweetness to speak of, you either got an earlier batch (if they changed) or my batch was just funky and and a one-off thing. Pretty helpful!

Dholakia Medicated #10 I've a bit of a head cold coming on. I rarely snuff when I'm under the weather, and I virtually never use menthol regardless of how I feel...but I'm giving this a shot on the recommendation of a friend, and it is awfully soothing.

So, I'm pretty loaded up on Viking Dark, but a friend of mine in Denmark said he just received an order and it's not the same snuff. He sent a few of us in the states some samples, and sure enough it's different. It's still dark, but a bit sweet and minty. Not a full-on mint snuff like Viking...

Ayup. Already loaded up on one of the at-risk blends. If I had the funds, I'd load up about 8 more...but I'll just start at the top of the priority list and work my way down as far as I can. I guess if I can stock myself up with 4 of the ones on this I won't feel completely cheated (which...

God help the postman that runs afoul of Blackhorse's elves!

Perhaps the cat is the new Christmas Gator?

FWIW, I pretty much never post in knife threads as I've not (yet) ever considered myself much of a "knife guy." But as a thread lurker, I love seeing your work and, even if the product isn't in my wheelhouse, completely appreciate and enjoy the craftsmanship!

What a perfect Santa! And I'd add that your company's tree is very well done, too!

Trying out some of Ozark Wizard's Pebble Castle for the first time. First impression: HOLY SMOKES THIS IS GOOD STUFF!

Northeast Ohio, smack in the Lake Erie snow belt. 4" at home, 10" at work (the two are only 12 miles apart and the terrain is flat between the two, if that tells you anything about the insane weather patterns we get until the lake freezes over). High of 27 here. Edit: Since I have a part of...

RE: The above post - If anyone thinks the images are too large, I'd appreciate it if a moderator would resize them - I've resized images here enough times that (I think) I know what I'm doing, but any time I try to change the dimensions it keeps coming out the same.

The reindeer droppings in the driveway gave me a pretty good idea that something was afoot, but when I saw the box my wife had hefted into the house while I was at work, I knew Santa had arrived.   I'd have been pleased as punch to open a box to find a small tin of tobacco and a nice Christmas...

Lot's of elf activity to report around my place lately...now they're resting, so I assume the work is done. One of them, in an eggnog-induced stupor mentioned something about their job being complete as soon as Prancer gets off his lazy behind so they can get their wares airborne.
