    Show Us Your Knife (And Pipe)

    Your Savinelli Bing’s Favourite looks quite different from mine. Nice stem and band features. Interesting!

    🎄🌟 The Unofficial Official PM Secret Santa 2024 Thread 🌟 🎄

    Bahahahaha. Bread, cider, a duck.

    NASPC 30th Anniversary Blend

    Thanks! I just didn’t think it was that esoteric of a query! Apparently, I am the only one on these threads that has one. Imagine that!

    NASPC 30th Anniversary Blend

    Let me post a reply to my own thread, maybe it will get noticed. Is there not anyone at all on these forums that might know something about Sutliff special one-off blends like this one? Or any members of the NASPC that could take a guess? If not, that’s okay. It will just be a surprise when I...

    What Are You Listening To? - October, 2024

    Since it is apparently World Opera Day, according to above posters, does this count from Brecht’s The Threepenny Opera?

    What Are You Listening To? - October, 2024

    Speaking of Beat and the King Crimson line-up of the early 80s, there’s this from 1988 and the Adrian Belew group, The Bears.

    What luck! The Blues Brothers is on telly tonight. I just switched it over and here is a scene with legendary bassist and devoted pipe smoker Donald “Duck” Dunn, with smouldering pipe in hand!

    Vivid memory, no doubt. Nice story!

    Please ID this Pipe!

    Twenty years ago next month, I was in town and stopped into Pipes and Pleasures. Rose was so sweet. Stephen repaired my first and oldest pipe, which was then 23 years old, as I had bitten and cracked through the bit. He replaced the stem, good as new, still going today. A wonderful shop then. I...

    Ach! Rubbish! NZ big bunch of girl’s blouses! Go do your silly cheerleader song and dance routine back in the shed. Go Bokke! Die Manne!

    Trying Out an English Blend.

    For English, it’s the latakia and orientals that provide the characteristics that appeal to me in this style. My first introduction down this road and away from aromatics began with Peterson’s Old Dublin and Dunhill My Mixture 965. Since those two blends contain cavendish, some categorise them...

    Opening A Tin? Show Us!

    Local! That’s great! I knew clock was maybe not the right word, but one never knows! Orlik Golden Sliced would be an excellent choice, it is a favourite of many!

    Opening A Tin? Show Us!

    Your plan to focus on one blend at a time is admirable! Good luck! I haven’t been able to do that in 42 years! Just one question, what is a “clock tobaconist [sic]”?

    Show Off Your Danes

    By coincidence, I discovered some pdf copies of old back issues of Pipes & Tobaccos magazine on Tobacco Reviews. The Summer 2008 issue had a story and interview with Bjarne Nielsen during his last trunk show at McCranie’s in Charlotte, just before he passed away in February 2008. That was the...

    Uh. Was Chez Paul featured in a scene in the first The Blues Brothers film? Yes? No? Maybe it was something else. If so, shows what I don’t know. I thought it was fictitious. Off topic, but since you mentioned a bygone restaurant, do any Chicagoans remember that fantastic Chicago Hungarian...

    Local, insider advice. Cannot beat that!
