Tobacco and oil may, most probably, not be among the most 'easy profitable' businesses these days and especially in the future..

Small is Beautiful ?
That's a new one to me, regarding small Danish and German pipes 😊 Are those of yours from WW2? When pipe smoking was still popular here and pipe tobacco was still relatively cheap, most Danes usually smoked normal sized pipes (like normal in England). The total pipe tobacco market in Germany...- danish

Favorite Coffee Place
These are now good times for coffee lovers here in most of Denmark (and elsewhere). And for beer lovers! Better than ever. A lot of good coffee shops. A lot of good competition.

A Hans Hartmann Lovat
Nice pipe, although maybe a little short for such a big bowl? IMO. Or maybe just the usual somewhat fisheyed camera? I also love sitters. Such as Stanwell 17 and several older English billard/lovat designs. I frequented Pibe Dan in the beg/mid 80s, when I was a student in Copenhagen. Bought... -
Pipe Chain Smokers?
I am a more like a broken chain pipe smoker. I am suffering from severe pipus interruptus. From having to take the bus to work and work several hours under a smoking ban, to having to go inside the now smoke free house, when my wife is yelling "dinner is ready"!:sher:- danish

Three Nuns
The present Three Nuns smells like the old, I used to smoke regularly in the 80/90ies. I guess most of the unique smell/taste is mostly from the original recipe used for casing/flavouring, which today is licensed to or bought by Harald Halberg (who also make the more heavily cased and sweetened...- danish

Any Advice on Electric Lawnmowers
We have been very satisfied with our electric battery driven Bosch for about 15 years. The batteries still work and we have lots of grass on a hilly ground. Expensive to purchase but with less noise, pollution and maintenance.- danish

Pocket Cameras
I haven't had so many cameras since I bought my first SLR with several lenses in 1978, when still a schoolboy and learning about photography, processing etc. in primary school. But I quickly realized that I too often didn't want to bring my big camera gear with me, so I downsized to a Rollei 35...- danish

Birth Year Pipe
Agree. It just drives up prices on old Dunhills, so that we who appreciate such old britwood, but care more about the pipes themselves, than about the exact years they were made, suffer😄 -

Why are French Pipes Cheap?
I love my few London made pipes from the sixties. They were like NOS, when I bought them. Which French pipes (older or new) can compete with the adequately thin bits, the buttons and the therefore very comfortable ebonite stem work of these? I am thinking of pipes such as Barling and Dunhill. I... -
