    Is it Really Block Meerschaum?

    I wasn't asking the OP, I was asking you what difference there was.

    My First Pipe Dream

    Even in a comotose state with my noggin done in, couldn't imagine cobs making an appearance. The only dream I remember with a pipe was the one with Sophia Loren on the end of it. Comoy I think it was, absolute beauty! 👍

    Chewable Plugs?

    I've met several..... They're not all that tbh. English ones that swallow are much more endearing.

    Chewable Plugs?

    Fribourg and Treyer are also a definite 'must sniff' if you're partial to a snuff.

    Briar Pipes - Ireland - Late 1860s

    Of interest or maybe of no interest at all to today's ladies, but up until the first World war, pipes & specifically clay pipes were quite the norm among the women folk. Ladies seen smoking cigarettes were regarded as 'a bit racy' or 'sluttish'. That all changed with the huge growth & expansion...

    Chewable Plugs?

    For some reason, conversations/threads regarding snuff on this forum never seemed to have gained much interest. Dip yes, snuff no. I confess to never have chewed tobacco in my life! Like most English gentlemen I suppose, we’re just too ‘dapper for the dip’. I mean, can you imagine walking down...

    Is it Really Block Meerschaum?

    They’ll react differently to CA glue & JoJoba oil?

    Some Folk Really Shouldn’t be Allowed to Write Product Reviews.

    Even more worrying is the people they're voting for & why. Bullshit baffles brains is the old saying. I don't think we've had a generation like this one before. Corrupt and indecent media, more Bullshit than you can shake a stick at & the masses are following it like lambs to the slaughter...

    Fury vs Usyk 🥊

    I think they’ve already agreed to a rematch so like werewolf says, a draw could be on the cards. Who knows, like you I’m just hoping for an entertaining bout.

    Folding And Stuffing Flakes

    Good show!👍 Stick with it & you’ll find it’ll get better when you find what flakes work best for you & in which pipes. After this thread I remembered one of Pearce’s old videos. Might be of interest to you & others who are getting to grips with flake.

    Show Us Your Falcons!

    Soap Bar in the old man’s falcon? Cad & a bounder sir! You sure you’re not Welsh?? (song will offend the easily offended, clan smokers etc.)

    Only Yanik Would Carve Something Like This

    I’m not seeing much skill in the carvers work there, look at the hands!! Saw this one recently, look at the skill that went into this old pipe. The folds & creases in the straw hat alone!

    Premier, Championship, League One, etc.+ Euros and Olympics

    I caught a glimpse of Wayne Rooney the weekend, doing some ‘punditry’……..he’s aging well. Lol Looks as if he should be out tarmacking drives instead of being in a tv studio!

    Interesting Completed Ebay Auctions - British Pipes

    I have but never on a Comoy. It’s a built in, spring loaded tamper.

    Premier, Championship, League One, etc.+ Euros and Olympics

    Aspall - Upshall, One - Nil to the Arsenal.🙂 Sort of rhymes if you say it with a brummie accent. Gunners were hoping for some divine intervention yesterday. Alas, God wasn't shining his light over Fulham. City's title, yet again. 😕 Poor old Fulham, always felt sorry for the supporters...

    There's Nothing Like a Good Hard Shag

    Quite right! 👍 To be honest with you, I'm not entirely sure what a ribbon is. Something silky that Texans wear around their necks, if memory serves. Frivolity aside, interesting about the Esoterica blends. As far as I know, the only other firm who dedicated town names to their products were...

    There's Nothing Like a Good Hard Shag

    Too easy he says! Lol Chance would be a fine thing! I'm no oil painting and at 52, my best day's are behind me. If you're who I think you are, you look like Walter Matthau with a melted face! We'd have no chance mate! Even if we did, we'd probably only embarrass ourselves, make an excuse and...
