    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...

    What Are You Listening To? - October, 2024

    UK residents may recognise this tune from the television advertisement appearing in recent months. Featuring the brokenhearted chap on a sunny holiday somewhere beautiful, but sobbing uncontrollably because the airline has lost his luggage crammed full of his two-week supply of Heinz baked beans.

    What Are You Listening To? - October, 2024

    Ah yes. The Doobies Brothers with Tom Johnston, before Michael McDonald. Not that there is anything unlistenable with McDonald, but they were a different band and sound, and my personal preference, in the earlier albums, like this one.

    Top 3 Favorite Aromatics

    Okay, now I am really sold. And distracted enough from the F1 US Grand Prix, with Ferrari leading 😁, to read the review by Michael Kindt. Based on the hilarity of his review 🤣, I am definitely making a purchase. Thanks Mr. Bong!

    Top 3 Favorite Aromatics

    Good question. They didn’t come to mind when I read this post. I’ve had both Erinmore and University Flake and though both have some fruity top flavouring and pleasing aroma, for some reason they don’t seem to thought of as aromatics. I haven’t had Ennerdale. Is that not a soap on ITV like...

    Remembering the Choices of Old Sites

    That sounds interesting. Reason and evidence. How quaint. It seems not many people are interested in that anymore. Unfortunate for us that Mr. Rusty is no longer with us.

    Remembering the Choices of Old Sites

    Thanks I remember a few of those. It was new, and it was fun, and I learned.

    Very interesting. Thank you.

    ***What Are You Smoking, October 2024?***

    For a few moments I thought bergs may have been your slang for “Underberg”, which is not uncommon after a meal, but maybe not so after a light snack.

    Top 3 Favorite Aromatics

    What?! Sixty pounds? That’s like 27K grams. Or equivalent of 544 tins (at 50g/tin). Like, £6,000 or more in inventory value? You might have a problem. 🤪 Have you sought professional help? Is this common amongst the rest of you?
