    Peterson Christmas Pipes

    Is this a complete list of the shapes released? I thought I saw some Tankard shape smooths. It's a shame they're only releasing such a limited range and number of the smooths, they're the only ones I'm keen on. But at that price I haven't made up my mind - some look great, some look like they...

    Vinyl Set Up

    I believe that's an extreme close-up of the needle in the groove!

    What are You Reading Now?

    I loved Stoner, might have to give this one a try.

    Cutter Top Tin Pipe Pornography

    That's what I thought to... I really hope they are getting smoked!

    David Knowles, Telegraph journalist, has died at 32

    David Knowles, creator of the Telegraph's Ukraine: The Latest podcast, has died in Gibraltar at the age of 32. He died of a suspected cardiac arrest, and counter-terrorism police are involved in some capacity. Mr. Knowles was a phenomenal journalist, and for about the first year of the...

    RB plug

    Good to know! And sorry if I'm just completely confused, but wasn't RB plug only sold in the UK?

    RB plug

    I think Cheviot is just a varietal of helianthemum, but I have noticed you can order helianthemum essence as one of the 'Bach flower remedies' for anxiety. Maybe I will order some and see what it tastes like!

    RB plug

    Thanks for the response, and as I said I appreciate why it is difficult if not impossible for end customers to be notified when a blend is discontinued. I was simply trying to explain why there is a perceived lag between a blend being discontinued and customers noticing. For example, I last...

    What is the Most Muscular Straight Burley Sold Today?

    Stirling Flake is supposed to be similar to what Irish Flake used to be like. I bought five tins a year or so ago and liked it, but it definitely wasn't as strong or robust as I remember the old Irish Flake being. I happily smoked through the tin I opened, but I haven't opened a second one yet...

    Nording Compass Pipes

    Same as @shanez , I haven't used them for ages (although it wouldn't surprise me if they do fall off). As mentioned in my previous comment, you can't go wrong with a Falcon!

    RB plug

    I appreciate all this, and guessed RB might not be a great seller. However, I have bought RB plug regularly and recently, so the implication that I'm just getting annoyed because I've only just realised something that occured a while ago isn't true (though admittedly I may have been buying...

    RB plug

    It's a line of hills in Scotland (presumably where the sheep come from?) but I've never been able to find a good explanation of what the flavouring actually is. As others have mentioned, it tastes almost exactly like ginger bread.

    RB plug

    I wonder if this will happen to more of their blends that are only available in the UK. I suppose it's a much smaller market than the US, and it isn't worth the money to pay the FDA to create a new blend in the US.
  14. jaingorenard

    RB plug

    Sadly I think that may be true, and I think it may be down to trying to produce a larger supply for the US (and maybe Asian?) markets. I appreciate that all companies need to make money, and particularly in the world of tobacco that's only going to get harder. But it is certainly depressing to...

    RB plug

    I have received an email response this afternoon saying RB plug has officially been discontinued. I have responded asking why. It seemed to be one of the blends least affected by changes, so maybe there was an issue with leaf supply.

    RB plug

    It is supposed to be a replacement for Redbreast, just as Bosun's is supposed to be inspired by Bulwark. I have no idea how closely they resemble the originals though.

    RB plug

    Can anyone confirm if Sam Gawith's RB plug has been discontinued? I tried emailing G&H but got no response. I'll be saddened if this is true, it was a truly unique blend that had become a favourite.

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

    Caporal in a 'Mis' French billiard with my morning coffee. I've become a big fan of Caporal since bringing some back from France, and I wish it was easier to get.

    UK: Labour Smoking Ban

    Worth noting that if your shillelagh is a traditional one with lead, you could well be stopped for carrying an offensive weapon these days in the UK. I looked into this when I looked at buying a shillelagh. There a no way near as many 'secret' guns than you'd think, apart from in the hands of...

    UK: Labour Smoking Ban

    Very difficult to get away with defending yourself with a firearm in the UK. The precedents in law are a bit complicated but people are usually charged for shooting intruders. As @woodsroad says, it does seem to be much harder to use self-defense as a defense in the UK.
