    Any Port Drinkers?

    Too sweet for me. I prefer Sherri from Xerez. Amontillado and Palo Cortado are my staples with an occasional Manzanilla.

    Smoking Habits

    I roll a couple of black tobacco filterless cigarettes in the morning. A couple of pipes during the day and one cigar at night.

    What Is The Difference

    A cigarette holder is also a pipe (by definition). I use it on ryo black gauloises cigs. with no filter. It was a suggestion from my dental higienist.

    Strong Virginias

    I understand perfectly for what you are passing trough. Try some strong alkalinic blend based on burley . No flake or cake. Light it and smoke it for about the same time that it takes to consume a cigarette. After some time you want another cigarette and then repeat the procedure. Repeat it as...

    Strong Virginias

    Stronger virginias may interfere with the delicate oriental. It depends on the kind of blend that the blender wants. I suggest you to try to improve your blend by adding a stronger varietal to your mix. It is fun to experiment and may be rewarding.

    Strange Pipe with No Name.

    Yes , i agree. Not only the color but the shape and style. But , most Lorenzos smooth have plenty of fills. This one looks rather clear. Why would Lorenzo would not stamp his name on this one? , wich looks more clear that the ones stamped with his name. Maybe from the Tagliabue era?.

    Seems to be a calabash bowl. Seal the outside part with plaster of paris , let it dry and fix it on the gourd.

    Coating for Clay Pipe Bit?

    Wax. Like the one who covers the cheese. Usually red or green. Some old english clay where available with this cover. I bought a couple about 30 years ago i guess that in McCranies already waxed on the tip. Or maybe you can remove the cover of the gouda cheese and after cleaning you may apply...

    Eye Floaters

    I think many of you are confusing a mild case of floaters with serious retinal or systemic conditions.

    Eye Floaters

    The source of the problem is a change of consistency on some points of the vitreous. If it is not something serious, it just comes and go depending if your eyes are tired and the surface you are looking. Not to worry about if that. Just take a rest of your eyes for some time and it may...

    Some Unique Cognacs

    I only drink cognac , brandy or rum in winter. I still have half bottle of kirkland XO for next winter but i really prefer the Lustau brandy de Jerez gran reserva or the Barrilito rum. On this season of the year , i prefer Lustau amontillado or palo cortado.

    Favorite Cigarillos?

    In a slightly larger format , i think Rocky Patel sun grown petit coronas are one of the best...but much more expensive.
