    Picking on Brits a Bit

    "Touché" :-( Personally, I cannot like anyone who produced that musical crime against humanity...

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

    Lovely view. Reminds me of the southwest Lancashire coastal plain, where I grew up. Huge skies :-)

    Picking on Brits a Bit

    Ah, Yorkshire... the Texas of the UK. Enough said.

    Picking on Brits a Bit

    Well, it would be really stupid to talk about a bunch of millions of people as if they were all the same, and mean it. Wars have started that way. The Church of England - which squares the circle of describing itself as both Catholic and Protestant - has been losing its grip on the nation even...

    TheironMonkey beautiful gift.

    Just enjoy your mice.

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

    All words are made up. I like 'decommentated'. It's useful. Pity about that thread, though - I was really enjoying it, too.

    Thuoc Lao Tien Lang Vietnamese Tobacco

    That's encouraging. I might even be making a New Year resolution to try it out... and, of course, review it here.

    STG Mac Baren/Sutliff Purchase - A Few Words from STG's Leonard Wortzel

    Steady on, chaps! Can't you take this outside and settle it like gentlemen?

    Thuoc Lao Tien Lang Vietnamese Tobacco

    There are vids on YouTube showing what it can do to the unaccustomed foreigner trying it out the traditional way.

    STG Mac Baren/Sutliff Purchase - A Few Words from STG's Leonard Wortzel

    That question is not answered, insofaras we have been told that that everything is reviewable and that there can be no guarantees. And it's no good using this opportunity just to say how rotten the system is, when Leonard is hardly in any position to agree with you publicly. Let's give him stuff...

    STG Mac Baren/Sutliff Purchase - A Few Words from STG's Leonard Wortzel

    It might be a fair question to ask, but it's not a pertinent one in this context. Useful questions to ask are always about things in which one has some agency and can make a difference. I am very fond of HH ODF, for instance, but remain completely incurious about the welfare of the...

    STG Mac Baren/Sutliff Purchase - A Few Words from STG's Leonard Wortzel

    Is it really helpful to critique the ethics of late-stage capitalism or corporate HR techniques on this thread, when most of us just want to know what's happening to some of our beloved blends?

    STG Mac Baren/Sutliff Purchase - A Few Words from STG's Leonard Wortzel

    Well, so far some of my unasked questions have been answered, and I'm grateful for that.

    Lighters vs Matches

    For me, matches every time. I find it easier to direct the flame exactly where I want it. When at home, I will also light a candle, so that the first spent match can be re-lit from the candle flame several times, so less risk of sulphur spoiling the taste of the tobacco. If I'm outside at home...

    Thuoc Lao Tien Lang Vietnamese Tobacco

    No stewed dark fruit, no creamy caramel toffee, no chestnuts roasting on an open fire of seasoned maplewood, no all-butter croissant still warm from the patisserie, no goatsmilk yoghurt sweetened with heather and thyme honey from the southern slopes of Mount Hymettos, no saline kiss of a...

    Thuoc Lao Tien Lang Vietnamese Tobacco

    This is the infamous, almost legendary Vietnamese weed, supposedly a Rusticana variety packing three times the nicotine punch of US and African tobaccos, and of which not very much information that's useful to a pipe smoker is available on the internet. It's sold in the UK by a very small number...
