    Chacom No4 and No5

    I just took a trip to Argentina and bought a can of Chacom No4 and another of Chacom No5. The No4 is a nice VaPer. As good as any the few others I’ve had but not life changing. The No5 however is an extraordinary English, at least for me with my relative inexperience. I’ve tried 965 and GL...

    Recommendations sought

I had to light...

    Hello - total noob here

    Thanks for all the replies! Like all of us, I’ve smelled some delicious pipe smoke and that’s what I’m looking for. My unfortunate experience today tasted like I had my nose in a dirty ash tray. Not what I was hoping for. But sounds like I just need to be patient, learn a bit and try some...

    Hello - total noob here

    Literally tried a pipe for a first time today. Not sure it’s for me to be honest. Would be great to hear if this experience is normal. Regards
