TAD Acquisitions 2025
Having spent the last 8 weeks in hospital and now awaiting major surgery, it was a pleasure to receive an email telling me that 100g of Germain's Rich Dark Flake was available to me - I pounced immediately from my hospital bed and look forward to enjoying that when I get home.

Updating the History of Sasieni Pipes and Their Subsidiary Brands
Vogue, 1922 - "Or, if one is a woman - and so many people are -..." that got me! What a stupendous piece of puzzle solving, excellent thank you. Fascinating, even though I don't own a Saseini.

What Were Your Go-To Tobacco’s in 2025?
The constant was Cabbie's Roll Cut Mixture. Many other blends in supporting roles, with Hal O The Wynd becoming the main reserve. One that knocked my socks off, Germain's Rich Dark Flake. Scarcity limited my consumption, else it would have been a regular.- BingBong

Anyone Tried Smoke-King UK?
Yes, I'm a regular online customer. They're lovely people, stars of Otley. Occasionally, if they're out of a desirable, I point my browser at My Smoking Shop who are in Preston - they also carry a very broad selection, if one hasn't got it, the other does kind of thing. Less frequently, GC get...- BingBong

Understanding Moisture
A public poll in the UK a couple of years ago revealed that the word which makes the majority of people uncomfortable is "moist". I used to talk dirty to a woman and after a while I'd say "are you.... moist?". And she would say "You. Are. Dis. Gusting!!", so there might be some truth to it...- BingBong

Black Friday Shopping
Couldn't get a stroke of work out of the nurse yesterday, too busy on the Apple store looking for deals on charging cables. There were no deals on chargers or cables, they're not stupid.- BingBong
