    Greetings from Europe

    A warm welcome! I am also new. That doesn’t matter. Plenty of native English speakers haven’t yet mastered their own language, never mind a second :) Just keep on typing :)

    What Are You Watching On The Box?

    We hadn’t watched a film for a couple of months and tried this last night. Gave up after 30 mins. It seemed well made but didn’t capture us enough to devote the remaining 3 hours. That‘s the great thing about ageing, you take greater control over how you spend your valuable free time.

    ***What Are You Smoking? December 2019.***

    Killarney. Seems to have some caramel flavour. It’s only my 3rd tobacco, but it’s added another interesting dimension. I think the discovery side of this hobby is a big part of the attraction And I don’t plan to rush it.

    Forums Membership Boom

    I bought a pipe, found great information on this site and people seemed friendly. So I joined. Didn’t know that the forum had been updated. Once life gets slightly less busy, I will be more active :)

    Conversational Rules of the Road

    A good conversation for me is suddenly realising that a relatively long time has passed, as an enjoyable time. But the deal clincher is being able to say, with a smile, “we started on subject X, how did we get to subject Z, and did we even visit Y?”

    What Is Your GoTo Lighter?

    I came close to ordering either a Peterson or Kiribi Kubuto (sp?) but ended up with a cheap bic mega lighter twin pack. I seldom smoke outside of home and the bic seems to work just fine. I can still see how a smart lighter would be an attractive addition to the hobby.

    Hello from Finland

    Jaytex969, I also have an M39 “Ukko-Pekka”. Probably my favourite piece, mainly because of the history. I think we need to take this one in PM, so as not to bore the others with talk of serial numbers, arsenals and stamped markings :)

    Hello from Finland

    Went out to smoke a bowl of mac baren classic and returned to such a warm welcome. Thank You! Elric, I am smoking Mac baren classic and Amphora full. Probably not the best but am enjoying them. My wife has bought two surprise tins from a specialist tobacco shop. One will be opened on...
