    Reliable Soft Flame Pipe Lighters

    My Thruppence: Over the years i've used Zippos, Ligne 2 type, and Rollagas lighters. The Imco 6700 Triplex Chinese remake made a fool of all of them and cost around $10. Good in the wind, some have found this lighter takes more naptha than a zippo (EDC Forums), it's shorter than a bic, has an...

    ***What are You Smoking, April 2022?***

    Makes perfect sense to me. puffy Just finished some James Fox Bankers in a F Yavuz Gourd Clabash, reloaded it in the Vauen Zeppelin this time without a filter.

    Vauen Zeppelin

    The Zeppelin is a novelty, a sparkless pipe with it's roots in a now mothballed form of transportation. It is a short smoke, perhaps it's derided and billed as odd or even impractical, but i like it and think it is a practical pipe with its own place. This wont satiate the steroetypical pipe...

    Just finished a bowl of Three Nuns in a Savinelli 207 Tortuga Rusticated, a sweet smoker. And now for something completely different... James Fox - Bankers (Limited 2022 bubbly label reserve edition) in a Vauen Zeppelin.

    Glad you enjoyed my contribution, having listened to the remastered tracks, I really enjoy the texture in the original versions. Here's hoping you enjoy jazz blues. Albert Collins and the Icebreakers - Same Old Thing (Night Time Performance) 1994 Mt. Fuji Jazz Festival 94

    Half a bowl of 2012 Samuel Gawith's Commonwealth Mixture left overnight to dry. A heavy latakia blend, but it's playing a mellow and fragrat tune in the Markus Fohr Clay Bishop and Knight pipe.

    Just finished a bowl of Three Nuns in a F Yavuz Gourd Calabash. I did find the Calabash mutes the flavor, much moreso than the falcon. Thats not to say it wasnt good, it was incredibly mild and cool in the calabash, reminiscent of Broken Scotch Cake. I think this coin shines in a clay. So i've...

    Mischief, happiness, revelry. In the very center: some champion penning an entertaining tounge in cheek reply for the rest of us to enjoy while we watch on having a smoke. How can the situation get better? puffy

    Rubbed out coins of the nouveaux Three Nuns in the Falcon Straight, in retrospect the Clay pipe produced much more flavor and detail from these coins. The headspace in the Falcon does its job very well, i can taste something is missing from Three Nuns in the Falcon after a smoke in the clay...
