A friend of mine just got the Pagulayan one, for that very reason. (He loves it)
Somehow this conversation brings the tuck tuck fold to mind. 
I prefer the touch touch gently swipe swipe any spot that my inspection has determined to be less than perfectly painted that lovely green color that I prefer over the pedestrian blue. Building a coat is amateur. How a player chalks is a tell. Of course a hustler knows how to put out false tells when laying the trap.
Yes locally.....$20 (custom letters) .....+$6 If I have to ship it....(US only)
Correct. Rotate how you hold the chalk and brush. Don't grind or drill. A piece of chalk goes a long time that way.
Did you rotate the cue, or stand it up and walk around it?
lol. Gave you a like for this post.
Pagulayan sells cube shaped Taom..

you're right, the guy I bought my break cue from is a DJH chalk brand ambassador, sales guy or whatever. He gave me a piece. IT seems a little stout/short, but is just square Taom. (and now there is some branded as pagulayan chalk for the US market).They do offer a cube option. The Ding Junhui edition is made in Finland by Taom:

When you brush the Taom chalk on your cue tip but make sure to also rotate the chalk so that the outer chalk circumference, i.e., perimeter, is what you lightly brush on your tip results in a more even removal of chalk thus preserving the original contour and overall shape of the chalk. If you mainly use the center of the chalk to brush with when applying chalk rather than the surface of the oval circumference of the chalk, you are slowly creating a hole or what’s commonly called coring the chalk.
I'm at about six months with my first piece of green toam chalk. Never been a chalk hole driller, regardless of chalk brand.
I have buddies who are drilling holes into their toam chalk, but they never did that with other chalks. Not sure why they do it now, seeing how you can still brush/swipe the chalk over the tip, no center drilling needed.
All I know is I try my best to keep them away from my chalk!

Taom round chalk, also doesn't roll away too far/isn't really an issue as big as some people want to make out lol
I had one roll from Denver to North Platte Nebraska not long ago. I-76 and headed East on I-80, it was crazy.

hahahaha damn, 30$ right down the I-80. Kind of thing that makes A lowly block of triangle make sense
I've watched guys who normally have good chalking habits grind the crap out of a piece when they're down or getting left hooked all the time. Unconscious reaction to stress of match I guess.
