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

    Hermes is delivering a pipe to me right now. The second I saw it's them I remembered @ Birddog66 's earlier post. Delivery is pretty messed up right now in general, I hope Hermes still has some competence over here.

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

    Just came back in from the garden where I had a few smokes with my clay and cob. That gray/brown thing is a pipe case I threw together from cardboad and duct tape, for my feathered clay. Now that it lost it's feathers I can fit in the cob as well. Of course there's always room for a bunch of...

    Holiday Cocktails

    Over here we traditionally have Glühwein, a mulled/spiced wine. Served piping hot. All the usual Christmas spices go in there, I like it served with a good shot of dark rum. There are many different variations available, the mead based ones are especially delicious. But I prefer plain wine or...

    Ode to My First Meer

    I agree with the bent wire of the pipe cleaners. Everybody can go check it right now themselves, some cleaners have a sharp little hook at either end. I'm sure the most expensive pipe cleaners are no different.

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

    Virginia Gold Lemon that was dabbed with sweet red wine and rolled into a tight cigar, then cut up into slices, heated and processed until ready to pack and smoke. Still a little moist so it went into the cob. There definitely is additional flavor from the red wine and more sweetness but...

    Screens

    You basically use them instead of a screen, placing some pieces in the bowl before you pack the tobacco.

    Screens

    I don't use it myself, it's usually used by those that like to smoke moist aromatics, to prevent excessive moisture that leads to a gurgling pipe.

    Apple Butter

    Ah, like a marmelade or confiture, a "jam". I had many before but my first taste of an apple based one was only about three years ago, an apple/caramel, Christmas-y kinda jam. If I remember correctly it was from an US brand, McKennedy. It was pleny good but I gotta say that I prefer berries or...

    Apple Butter

    I never heard about that before. I could look it up but for conversations sake I'll ask you: What exactly is it? My grandmother introduced me to grated carrots and apple, sprinkled with lemon juice. It gets better as you keep it jarred up in the fridge but you want to eat up soon if you like...

    Traditional Countryman from Ireland ...

    Happy smokes from Northern Germany and welcome to this fine forum. puffy Technology can be a wonderful and marvelous thing but it's also a blade with two edges, and one of those edges is very sharp. If you don't know what side or site you face you can easily cut yourself. However, in this...

    Cobs or Briars?

    It was an old saying I picked up some time, plants change a lot with the years. I remember the brussel sprouts back then were kind of bitter, now they're incredibly sweet. I'm not gonna get into it but poppies have also been bred to advance a whole lot in many ways. As have all the natural...

    Cobs or Briars?

    So far I have briar, cob and clay. There's a difference in taste between each material, the clay of course bringing no own taste to the field. It'll be the same for Meerschaum pipes I figure, no own taste. The taste of a briar or cob however can elevate a blend that lacks a certain personality...

    Cobs or Briars?

    I'm a fan of clay or ceramic, not that I dislike cob or briar. It's the dandelion of pipes while briar is a rose. A dandelion will grow comfortably between some crack in the stone while a rose will piss itself over a pine needle in the soil. You can smoke a clay every which way you want, no...

    Screens

    That's perfectly fine. Some people here would probably try to take a swing at me if they saw how barbarically I puff up my tobac sometimes. Do you use one of those fine screens or one of those with about a dozen wider holes in them? One time I was thinking about cutting off pieces of a steel...

    Screens

    I never used a screen for my tobacco pipes but had the idea before, I won't do it because a screen is just more yucked up stuff to deal with, especially when used with a big bowl of tobacco. I prefer to take a nice little wad out of the fluffy shag corner of the tobacco jar and pack that first...

    Ode to My First Meer

    That's true, with the current situation that your country has to face it doesn't seem quite right to bitch about a chipped pipe. But still, there's a lot of effort behind you getting it and having your good hopes crushed is worse than having no hope at all in the first place. Now I understand...
