    Lunting and Hunting

    Always wondered which is more likely: a hunter also to be a pipe smoker or a pipe smoker also to be a hunter? I always hunt with a pipe in mouth - even learned to shoot my 12" Beretta with the pipe burning even during driven pheasant and rabbit hunts and shot deer with my .308 smoking :-) As...

    Recommend a blend with Cigar Leaf

    Redpanda He said to be coming over to Budapest early January so most probably my very long awaited natural bulldog will travel with him... But let's not hijack the thread: I have tried my cubans in pipe and my 2 cents is that they are better smoked as cigars... this is how they meant to be, no...

    Recommend a blend with Cigar Leaf

    Redpanda, give a visit to Yiolla at the Habanos shop next to Starbucks on Griva Digheni, give her a hug and my warmest regards, ask for a light, short Cuban (3-4€), disassemble it, give it some drying time (their humidor really keeps 75-80%) and light up... you will be able whether you really...

    Al Pascià Curvy

    when do you think you will again have all models available...? and a rookie question: what is the actual difference between the 569 and 577 model (apart from the 0.2gr) because it is very difficult to visually differentiate between the two?

    The pipe - a thing of the past ?

    redpanda, yes the gomboli shop... next door (literally) there is an empty (seemingly) one with empty cigar boxes in the shopwindow... latakia: Yiannos knows the whole story (grown on contract from DH and MB, paid in advance every year, every two weeks the reps come over and count every plant...

    Really Cool Unique Pipes on PipesArt.com

    redpanda, no I do not see myself ever buying anything in that pricerange as it also fully contradicts with my idea of pipesmoking. Yioannis makes his pipes in the 100€ range, but being an artist also he makes 1 or 2 in this league. a birth-year Dunhill once in a lifetime? maybe, most probably...

I am frequently there...
