Corona Old Boy - Are They Worth It?
Corona Old Boy, the best pipe lighter I’ve ever owned in more than half a century of pipe smoking. BUT As others have already said completely useless when the winds blowing ALTHOUGH I‘m fortunate in being able mostly to avoid lighting up a pipe in windy weather conditions. A WARNING Don‘t buy...- rotate

Matches?
Loved them in the UK, turned lighting up a bowl each time into a little ceremony. Didn't like the way they surrendered to the anti smoking pressure groups by removing 'The Smokers Match' banner from the boxes before Woke was even a thing other than waking up after sleeping. I always wondered...- rotate

Gold Block pipe tobacco
Gold Block, a go to pipe tobacco for me in the 1970's but no longer available along with many other pipe tobaccos where I now live. (Use your B&M tobacconists if you have any as relying upon internet purchases is a definate 'no no' when government and parcel carriers can decide what can be...- rotate

Chacom Booth at Trade Fair in Germany
I'd like to see those Chacom tobacco blends along with plenty of other European manufactured pipe tobaccos reach the parts of the European Union they now no longer ever reach.

Do pipes need to be “Broken In”?
Break them in regardless of if new and unsmoked or an estate/under used pipe that may or may not have been smoked in the last half century or so. It's briar possibly or an alternative and a natural product deserving of the smokers respect.- rotate

Pipe Sighting at the Movies
Porterhouse Blue. British TV Comedy. I missed this made for TV Mini series starring David Jason completely when it was first aired in the 1980’s while I was working overseas but finally managed to watch it in its entirety on YouTube the other night. A little pipe smoking although obviously not...- rotate

What Was Peterson’s Bowl Coating Circa 2020
I don’t know but what I can tell you is that they were not using the bowl coating you describe on System pipes in the year 2000 or earlier in 1991as I’ve recently bought four new old stock Peterson System pipes. Silver Hallmarked for 2000 the smooth natural finish 303 and 314 Premier pipes had... -

More about Latakia...
I seriously doubt anyone has smoked real Cypriot/Cyprian Latakia in a very long time. The rich tobacco growing areas of the island of Cyprus have not been under government control since 1974 and the last few things I’ve heard on the subject were that Cypriot farmers who are citizens of the...- rotate
