    Reminder: Check Your Winter Boots for Critters

    My grandpa was in the army in North Africa during the second world war. He had one story that he deemed suitable for telling us kids which was that they were ordered to check their boots each morning for scorpions. He nearly gave himself and his pals a heart attack one morning when he tipped his...

    Hello from the UK

    Hello from London! There are more of us in the UK than I thought!

    English Trip

    Well, I’m a Londoner and I agree with a lot of the above. You probably won’t find a bargain unless it’s the same way that you find bargains anywhere - shops that sell pipes here tend to sell them at a higher rate than you’d get online (which is the same anywhere, I guess). As in other countries...

    Thanks Jay. Can’t wait to see it in the flesh (so to speak)... apparently it’s winging it’s way to me.

    Tea Tasting

    Lawdawg - as per your question, I was thinking about what the English ‘drink at tea time’... as an Englishman I feel I ought to point out that ‘tea time’ extends from whatever time you wake to whatever time you fall asleep.

    Tea Tasting

    I’m so with you on this. Tea is my drink of choice with a pipe. My favourite pairing so far (and done on an almost daily basis for my last pipe of the day) is a mug full of good quality Assam with a bowl of Cabbies Mixture or St James Flake. Booootiful!

    Your Pipe Smoking Playlist

    I saw Iron Maiden a couple of weeks ago. Amazing. Now my daughter’s a fan too.

    You have my word... no cutting of stingers.

    Your Pipe Smoking Playlist

    The downside (although I don’t reckon it’s much of a downside, if I’m honest) of LPs, is that you can’t make a playlist. They suit pipe smoking though as they encourage real ‘sit down, relax and listen’ listening. Having said that, if I play something that compels me to sing along I may love it...

    I have a couple of pipes with stingers (although I didn’t realise that’s what they were called). I like the way they smoke but not being able to stick a pipe cleaner through until they’ve cooled down is a little bit inconvenient, so I tend to leave them out. I would never ditch them though...

    Thanks for looking at it, by the way! Much appreciated. Most importantly, I'm looking forward to finding out how it smokes! I'll let you know.

    Well... you learn something new every day. I never realised it was called that! Here's a pic:

    Oh... the price? Well, I thought I'd probably paid a little too much (got carried away late into the night!). I paid £20. What do you reckon? Was I fleeced?!

    The stinger?

    Here goes... it's nothing special but I thought it looked like a nice, simple billiard... so have taken a punt. (Responsibility for the quality of the pictures is entirely someone else's!)
