    UK: Labour Smoking Ban

    There is alway some 'do gooder' who wants to enforce their values on the rest of us rubes. They share many common characteristics to traffic wardens or the classroom sneaks you encountered at school but just slightly older. I believe you call them 'Karens' in this country. Since I am blessed...

    Best Brown #2 - How is The Vitamin N?

    @Chasing Embers : Is absolutely correct. As a chewable it is out of this world and beats any of the packet chewing tobaccos by a factor of 100:1. Smoked in a pipe I have always found it a bit on the bland side with a nasty habit of drying out. If you want something that will put hairs on your...

    🎄🌟 The Unofficial Official PM Secret Santa 2024 Thread 🌟 🎄

    Just searching through my cellar for a few of @woodsroad reject projects from Standard Tobacco Company of PA and I think this one could be an absolute winner along with that prototype tin of Owl Pellet Plug!

    Vegemite

    Marmite is one of the greatest things to emerge out of the Burton on Trent brewing sector. I just love the stuff and anywhere I travel in the world I always have a jar of Marmite on hand. About twenty years ago my Filipino girlfriend discovered the product in my kitchen cabinet and thought it...

    Remembering the Choices of Old Sites

    I remember 'Political Pipe' and it was a hot mess but very amusing. It had an amusing 'Guess What This Is?' section which resulted in some pretty funny things happening.

    Gold

    I have actually spent Confederate money - only once back in 1996 when I was visiting Richmond, Virginia. I had a bunch of Confederate $20 notes that came from a UK bank that had acted back in the day as paying agents for the Confederate Government bonds. When the war ended they were stuck with a...

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

    Thank you. I have three of them all from the 1940s. They are very useful for muling different tobacco around, especially plug that I have just cut up. I historically just carried plug loose in my jacket pocket. However with the lack of 'steam pressing' these days you no longer seem get a shiny...

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

    Very good. What is the second tobacco? Is it (a) Bosun's Cut Plug (b) Broken Flake No: 7 (c) Dark Plug unscented?

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

    Guess which two tobaccos these are? Bonus points if you can guess the pipe I will be smoking it in?

    Pipes.org?

    We also had that 'Wild West' forum set up by a couple of boys from here called I think 'Political Pipe' or something along those lines. The nearest analogy I had for that place was it was like a Wild West saloon bar with people getting hurled through windows and shot up in the street. It was a...
