    There.. I did it.

    The sun can be intense in Sydney, Oz, even in mid-winter. A few minutes in direct sun is sufficient for most non-aros. Aros need a bit more drying, then gravity filled as suggested by @anotherbob If it is a wet and humid weekend, then there will be a problem. But a few meer chips or Nording...

    My Mum used to accuse me of having expensive tastes My reply was “good, but not necessarily expensive” 😁

    Thanks everyone for your kind comments When I go through my pile of pipes, I can only find one other tomato-ish shaped pipe This Refbjerg just calls out to be cradled in hand Idskov pipes are heavily influenced by Jens Tao This brandy is one of the exceptions - a much more “classic” shape...

    Thank you. I was very impressed by both the Refbjerg and Idskov bulldogs I got last month so I decided to get another pipe from each maker.

    To Clay or not to Clay....

    Clay pipes can impart a “clay-ey” taste to the smoke when they are new. Porcelain pipes are neutral. It’s easy to get the walls back to bare porcelain by wiping out with wet paper towels after a smoke Disadvantage: their double wall construction makes them considerably heavier than the standard...

    Cigars to Pipes...No Looking Back

    I smoked a pipe in the '70s until mid-1980s when the kids came along. I quit then as I'd promised my wife a non-smoking household when we have kids. Took up cigars when the boys finished school, and smoked cigars exclusively for 15 years Re-started pipes on a whim in 2018, and here I am puffy...
