    Pondering How The Same Pipe/Blend Tastes Different On Different Days, etc.

    On finer restaurants you sometimes get a palate cleanser between courses and I suggest to study the subject. An alternative for me, is to buzz the mouthpiece on my altotrombone or simply play a few tunes. It works as a good palate cleanser every time. However, lighting up your pipe after...

    The One Smoke Gentlemen

    Usually I drink black coffee all day but sometimes I have another coffee variant such as cappuccino. The latter mostly when on holiday. I may even seldom use sugar and/or cream/milk. Black coffee for me, please. I am addicted. Can't remember a single day without coffee or tobacco, since about...

    Pipe Smoking seems Cheaper than Cigars (?)

    Normally I find it somewhat unmanly, when people mentioning problems with wives, because of eg PAD/TAD. But when correcting your above figures with inflation and new heavy taxes here, if I took up your old cigar habit, I presume I could run into some problems with my wife😱haha

    The Obligatory Newbie Thread: Dunhill

    White Spot is among the very few factories left, which still produce pipes of interest to me. They are probably too expensive because there is hardly any competition any longer, if eg good ebonite stemwork and authentic classic shapes means anything to you. Unless you are willing to pay for...

    Trend to Smaller Pipe Sizes?

    When pipe smoking was more common, several decades ago, I had the impression that English, French and Danish pipe smokers preferred smaller to medium sized pipes, whereas eg Germans and Americans usually bought the bigger ones, as eg reported then by our Danish pipe factories and carvers...

    Indeed! Bit thickness measurements are very important for some of us.

    Elon Musk: Genius or Madman?

    When somebody challenges the established and has great success, every move and word will be scrutinized by those with various agendas. Especially by those whose industry or lifestyle is getting disrupted.

    When Does your New Pipe Begin to Sing?

    Like with brass musical instruments, the mouthpiece (stem) has to fit you. The first bite on the pipe stem, will usually tell me, if the pipe will sing for me. Then come the other abilities, such as drilling, initial influence on tobacco taste and ability of passing a pipe cleaner, while...

    ***What Are You Smoking, May 2022?***

    Trying some ghosting Erinmore Flake in an old and already ghosted BBB Silver Grain 400, with a very nicely done original ebonite stem. The pipe was, apart from ghosting, in very good condition, when I bought it some years ago 'for a penny' and easily restored to former glory.

    Gas Prices: What Are You Paying? Does it Change Your Driving Habits?

    3/4 of the price for gasoline here in Denmark are taxes and yesterday we had free electricity (apart from taxes), due to windy weather. No wonder EVs, new and used, are selling like hotcakes.

    Are You a Pipe Smoker or a Pipe Collector?

    If finances allowed, I would probably own a huge and expensive pipe and tobacco collection. Now I am just a picky daily pipe smoker, who happens to own more than enough pipes.

    This Has to be a Joke.

    No need for such an expensive charging 'station' at a town hall. A charger can be installed anywhere at a much lower cost. My son just ordered one to be installed in his own driveway. Total cost for the fully owned charger box with long cable, incl. installation, was usd 1.400,- and then all...

    Debate : Fine White Ash

    Thanks but I have 'only' smoked a few kilos of the Scottish, wet or dry and Capstan has been my daily for many years. It is the tobacco itself or whatever 'chemicals' they cased or topped it with, which makes the difference. For me. Besides, smoking to the bottom seldom fits with my cravings and...

    Debate : Fine White Ash

    With eg RM's Scottish Cake, usually a fine white ash at the bottom. With eg yellow (Gold) Capstan, usually an unsmokable wet dottle. That's it, for me.

    Consider Writing A Letter, I Mean Snail Mail

    This evening we saw the Italian film 'Il Postino', which reminded me, that I ought to have replied to a letter, that I received from a good old friend. 30 years ago.

    What Is Your Standard?

    The stem has to be comfortable, with not too thick a bite, 5 mm or less, preferably of high quality ebonite. A pipe cleaner has to pass easily during smoking. Small and light weight. Traditional, well proportioned design. Nicely sandblasted or with good looking briar, well stained and nice...

    The Paranormal?

    Just started reading a book about Carl Jung, who also tried to explain the many examples of paranormality. Sofar I am still not convinced but would appreciate to learn being able to predict the stock market some day, since I have now given up on alchemy.

    Whose Pipes do You Have the Most of?

    Stanwell pipes were on display in most tobacconists in any small and big town, when I started smoking pipes 40 years ago. So were Georg Jensen pipes, almost. Imported pipes not so much. That is reflected in my collection.
