    The Third Swan Neck of the "Drifted Shank" Set of Three (an Apple this time)

    Coffee or Tea?

    I love coffee - always very strong, with milk and one sugar. Just one cup a day, with lunch I grew up in Malaysia, so coffee with condensed milk is a guilty weekend treat. I start the day with a mug of black English tea. I brew a pot as soon as I get into the office - usually green (Chinese...

    I Wrote a New Guide for Dating Stanwell Pipes

    Thank you very much for your research and effort in writing this guide. Stanwell is my favourite non-Brit pipe maker. Their collaboration with, and championing of now famous makers is very much a Danish thing. W.O.Larsen and Pibe Dan are other makers that spring to mind. While Dunhill had...

    And Your Favourite Cheese Is?

    I’d imagine the health department had a say in that. Perhaps if I was really, really starving

    Bags for shipping?

    I'd say that depends on the efficiency of your postal service and how far you're sending them A generous mate often sends me samples of tins he has just opened in ziplock bags. They usually arrive within 2-3 days. I keep them in those same ziplock bags for several months without any problems

    Differences in Interior Stem Design

    Calling @georged and @sasquatch I’ve often wondered. But this is a tad too technical for me. I have pipes of all ages. With orific, slotted and semi-orific buttons. And I use softy bits on all my stems. So beyond the curiosity, I accept each pipe just as they are. Variety is fine.

    Story behind the name of the pipe shapes

    A lot of pipe shape names are self-explanatory But often different makers will use different names for the one shape. The etymology for names can be quite obscure eg the earlier French name for a Bulldog was "Haiti" and a billiard was "neogene" I'm happy if people refer to a fully bent pipe as...

    My Long-Winded Nording Keystone Pipe Filters Review

    I’m pleased there are a few of us in favour of Keystones, and their alternative, meer chips They are cheap and reusable. And for me, their cost is more than offset because dottle is minimised. I had a few smokes on the weekend. I couldn’t dry the tobacco in the sun as it has been rainy and...
