Show Off Your Petersons Here!
I think some of the 'pete geeks' sometimes forget how crap some of their pipes were.... (Although that's true of any marque).- jaingorenard

Show Off Your Petersons Here!
Mine was a 301 standard back in 2017. Bought it from a flea market in Madrid for €3. Cleaned it up but no matter what I did the crappy stem would reoxidise as soon as look at it. Most pipes like that I sell on, but I decided to try and acrylic stem from the Danish Pipe Shop which didn't quite...- jaingorenard

Dunhill Pipes?
They still make some very nice pipes - some of the modern ones are really great pipes; I just think they cost far more than I would want to pay. I personally prefer the older sandblasts too.- jaingorenard

Dunhill Pipes?
I suspect you're about to get lots of replies about how overrated Dunhills are, how bad their construction is, and how they're too expensive! I do think people often overpay for fairly 'run-of-the-mill' Dunhills, and if you're patient you can pick them up for £20-£50 or in joblots. I think...- jaingorenard

Sacre Bleu: French Baker Makes Croissants Sans Butter.
Up in Yorkshire they have cheese on a sort of fruitcake (called Brack, made with tea). It's a very good combination!- jaingorenard

Orangutan heals its wound
I found this absolutely fascinating. I love orangutans, I really wonder if they've ever exhibited this behaviour before (other great apes have in the past). https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-68942123- jaingorenard

Anybody Like Gawith Shag Cut?
I appreciate what you're saying, but I really don't think 'shag' refers to ribbon cut pipe tobacco. That may be what it's used to describe now, but 'shag' never used to mean that.- jaingorenard

Premier League, Championship League, League One, etc.
Anyone watching Spurs Chelsea? Great defending from Van de Ven, but Spurs just seem to have completely lost it. Looked so good early in the season.- jaingorenard

Anybody Like Gawith Shag Cut?
My impression is shag was the finest cut, and included cigarette tobacco, some pipe tobacco, and tobacco intended for either. But it looked like what we now call RYO. Since the taxes in the UK, some pipe tobacco is still called 'shag' but is more like a fine ribbon cut. True shag cut is more...- jaingorenard

Ogden's Nut Gone Flake.... Psychedelic?
The Small Faces make much more sense in the context of the 60s mod movement in the UK. I think of them more as a white soul band in some ways.- jaingorenard
