    My Wife Just Retuned From Rome And Visited Novelli Pipe

    Novelli is the temptation shop. Pipes and fountain pens. Don´t get near it if you appreciate your cash :-)

    Does Everyone Use Pipe Filters?

    I started pipe smoking in 1996. I never used filters and, to my shame, despised (only in my mind) people who did. In February 2019 I was diagnosed an illness whir required medication which caused a very dry mouth. I had to quit until a friend (who is a physician) suggested 9mm filter pipes...

    Olive Oil: Which Has The Best Flavour?

    I should have added cold: cold first press, what we call extra virgin.

    Olive Oil: Which Has The Best Flavour?

    I think nowadays certified first press olive oil guarantees it is just that. Unless it is a falsification.

    Olive Oil: Which Has The Best Flavour?

    That´s my daily breakfast, toasted bread with olive oil. If I feel adventurous I may add garlic, crushed tomato and cured ham. Very typical in my neck of the woods.

    Olive Oil: Which Has The Best Flavour?

    It costs almost four times more than in Spain... And it is not a cheap oil here... :-(

    Olive Oil: Which Has The Best Flavour?

    If you like fruity oils, try arbequina extra virgin. I prefer fuller tasting ones and love Picual. It is the oil made in my home province (Jaén, Spain) which, by itself is one of the bigger producers of olive oil in the world. I don´t know how easy they are to find abroad but Oro de Bailén...

    Pipes - Artisans and Trademarks João Manuel Lopes

    A great book. I knew the author and have the English version. If you like pipe books you can´t go wrong buying it.

    I have a few as well, keeping them for special occasions, with the firm intention that they will not outlive me.

    Best VaPer Straight From the Tin

    MacBaren Acadian Perique was also very good "fresh". A pity it is now discontinued.

    Pesse Canoe?

    They have just became available in Spain. I am curious about the Latakia ones. I'll try to find some and will let you know about my impressions.

    Contemporary Barling Meerschaum pies

    Most of my meers are Altinay, and this is the best bit I´ve had from them; they have improved them very much in this Barling series, or maybe lately, as I think I have not bought a new Altinay made pipe since 2020.

    Contemporary Barling Meerschaum pies

    I received the pipe today (as today is the day (Epiphany) when Christmas presents are exchanged in my country). I am very impressed with the bit, wide and thin, much better than any bit of any of my meerschaums. I´d buy a few spare ones to fit my small collection of army mount meerschaums if it...
