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

    I think that's a good system. Some particular pipes, I find, do seem to suit certain blends, or types, better than others. Whatever the reasons, subjective or objective, it makes sense to me. Thank you.

    I didn't understand that, either. Welcome from the former capital of Wales.

    Of course.

    @Flatfish will back me when I say that the correct way to pronounce 'Tudor' is 'Tud-deer'. The correct spelling, by the way, is Tudur. 99% of English people also get this wrong :)

    We don't use 'eejit' or 'bawbag' in England. Except Scots, when they're in England. Or Scotland, of course. Or, indeed, anywhere else. Our northern neighbours are peculiar, like yours.

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

    Leaves, leaves, and more leaves. A day of clearing away leaves up at the farm. Enlivened by identifying deer poo (Reeves' Muntjack, or a juvenile roe, and it hasn't hung around long because of the other livestock in the fields), and a surprisingly good, contemplative smoke of Charatan Black...

    @Kobold you can console yourself with the thought that DNA profiling only means that a significant percentage of folks with the same DNA on the same company's database, is common to a significant percentage of the population of England who are also customers on that same company's database. At...

    Or 'un wy', in Welsh.

    Tobacco pouches/ leather bags why do they exist?

    The only advantage over a repurposed tin that a pouch has, in my opinion, is that a tin is likelier to spoil the line of your jacket. But since I have no pretensions to sartorial elegance, I prefer an old tin.

    We call it a 'mixer tap'. No wonder you couldn't find any here, since nobody had a clue what you were talking about.

    True, that. In fact I don't think the US has given up or lost any of its colonies, except Cuba of course.

    Good thought, but I often buy from private sellers on eBay :-/

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

    I'd have been back on this thread several hours ago, but some irresponsible fellow started another thread insulting my nation... :LOL: Well, anyway, this arrived today... I suspect it may be my PMSS gift, but here's the difficulty: I do find it hard to keep track of what I order online when my...

    An Ode to Samuel Gawith's '1792'—Apologies to Dr. Suess

    Make that *two* clays. I reckon 1792 will ghost anything. I'm sticking to VA/Per/Bur/Ky blends. Unperfumed.

    Of course the Aussie b*stards got rather good at cricket because in the penal colonies of New South Wales there was not much else to do, apart from abusing sheep.

    Picking on Brits a Bit

    There is a seaport on the south coast of England, divided in two parts by a river called the Itchen. The majority of the city is Southampton proper, and there's an addendum on the eastern side known as Woolston, where in better times there was a shipyard (where I once worked long ago). The good...

    Absolutely. If this were a majority Brit forum, a thread like this would have started with the Scots and the English mocking each other, then the Welsh having a go at the English, then the North and the South of England mocking each other and being dismissive of Wales, then North and South Wales...
