How Do You Store a Lit Bowl
I do the same all the time. There's no visible smoking going on so what are they going to say, that I smell like tobacco...? I once had a fresh unlit pipe in my mouth in an airport, waiting for my bags to come out, a security guy came to me and said in a very stern voice "It's illegal to smoke...- karam

Press to marry flavors?
How do you mean marrying flavours? I am asking because it's an interesting question. I've experimented in the past with pressing tobaccos myself but didn't notice any success, even after thorough mixing, spraying with water/liquor to bind them better etc. I say there was no success because when...- karam

Down Below Isn't Bad Enough for Some People
Hard agree. It's always the shittiest of the shit people who do that, too, sometimes you can tell from their overall posture and appearance. Once I was sitting in a taverna in Greece with a group of people, including two other guys who're totally sweet but can get rough if needed. A shithead...- karam

We Have a Saint.
That's just so stupid... There's a funny anecdote (paraphrased) that Montgomery - who hated Churchill and the feeling was likely mutual - told Churchill "I exercise every day, don't drink and sleep well, so I perform 100%", to which Churchill apparently replied "I never exercise, drink from...- karam

Urs Portmann Swiss Tobaccos
Reasonably close, in fact 1792 is among my top 5 tobaccos (edit: just noticed your profile pic so I guess you like 1792 too ;)) so I got 115 to see how close they are, but if 1792 is a stick of dynamite then 115 is a firecracker. 1792 is loaded with DFK and perhaps 10X tonka. Edit: the...- karam

Urs Portmann Swiss Tobaccos
Morning! Here's me writing after a long while, this time about some house mixtures from a Swiss tobacconist called Urs Portmann. I've visited the B&M shop in Konstanz - beautiful town shared between Switzerland and Germany, you can literally hop over the border, it's just a line on the street -...- karam

Jim's STG Versions of Mac Baren Blends Reviews.
Thanks, I'll have a look. They currently look sold out in some German shops I am looking at (not just Estervals). Dark Twist is quite commonly found in Swiss B&M shops (aromatics/semi-aromatics are very common here), but not ODF.- karam

Jim's STG Versions of Mac Baren Blends Reviews.
FFS how pathetic. I wasn't paying attention. Old Dark Fired and Dark Twist Roll Cake were/are two blends I could smoke forever. Got about 500g of the first, a few coins left of the second :/ Thanks for the reviews Jim, looks like even what's left is not worth my money. Edit: generally it's been...- karam
