    Recent TAD Pick-Ups

    I really like cobs with the hard acrylic stems so picking those up was a nobrainer. I’ve never seen chewing tobacco in Switzerland, it is all snus here as you say - I think I will limit the chew / dip to my porch at home ;)

    Which Luxury Lighter?

    I have an IM Corona Old Boy which is great but I normally end up using matches or my Zippo with pipe insert.

    Samuel Gawith Tins and LJ Peretti paint cans?

    I had a break from buying anything new, as I switched back to cigars for the last couple of years, so most of my SG tins in my cellar are all pre 2015 with another load that are pre 2018, none of which I’ve had any issues with them popping. I’ve only just started to buy some more and noticed the...

    Need some help, novice

    Being around the same age and near enough UK (Isle of Man) you were likely smelling the same stuff as me around pubs with parents, grandparents etc. in the late 70s and 80s. Certainly for me that would have been what was generally sold in the local news agent: St Bruno, Condor, Clan, Gold Block...

    Who Taught You to Smoke a Pipe?

    I remember watching my grandfather avidly when I was very young and cleaning and packing his pipes for him every Saturday morning (Mostly falcons and he used to always use a white tablet / stone in the bottom of the bowl), this would have been late 70s early 80s. I didn't actually start smoking...

    Pipe Shops in Zurich

    Wagner is probably your best choice in Zurich, there is a Davidoff shop at the top of Bahnhofstrasse but I’ve not been in there in years so can’t vouch for what they have in stock.

    Buying American tobaccos in Europe?

    For those wondering about Synjeco they are good to order from, at least for me being in Switzerland. With regards to Switzerland and the EU, we are absolutely not part of the EU and my experience of importing tobacco from the EU (mostly cigars in the past) and sending to friends in the EU - EU...
