    Shops in Basque Country, Vienna, Frankfurt, Hamburg

    Hi everyone, I'll be heading to Europe soon. I was wondering if anyone has good recommendations for shops in the Basque Country, Vienna, Frankfurt, and Hamburg? I know of the one shop in Donostia, but I'll be moving around on the French side too. Thanks!

    Red Dot on Stem?

    nice. thanks the helpful info and the jokes! I was interested to know because it never seemed right. The pipe I was looking at was an orlik, well stamped, but it had this red dot stem. But I know that orlik has a white 'o' on the stem.

    Red Dot on Stem?

    Edited for capitals. See Rule 9! -jpm Does anyone know what maker used a red dot on their stems? Basically, just like Dunhill's white dot but red. The thing is that I've seen these stems on ebay and other kind of sites on pipes that shouldn't have a red dot as far as I know, like Orlik. Is...

    Whisky/Whiskey and . . . . Soda?

    I am pretty sure the soda that is used for mixing comes from a seltzer bottle that you either order to your home or make with CO2 cartridges. When you make it at home, it has none of the club soda additives and,so, there is no change in flavour. I find the bubbles to be much finer and it has...

    G.L. Pease Windjammer

    This is one of my favourites, though I am new to vapers. I have been smoking esoterica dorchester this week after finding some. It's very good, but I think comparable in quality to Windjammer. For the difficulty in finding it and the price, which can be absurd, I thinkn windjammer and...

    Esoterica

    I just opened a bag of dorchester to jar. This is my first experience with esoterica, and I was bowled over by the smell. It was rich and amazingly sweet. Can't wait to try a bowl tonight!

    How to Prepare Flake Pipe Tobacco

    I have difficulty knowing how much to use with fold and stuff. Today, I tried with PS navy flake. Went out alot, even after drying for an hour, but it seems like it was because it needed to be more tightly packed.

    ***What Are You Smoking, December 2021?***

    smoking county squire's cordial friends for the christmas flavours in a corn cob. I like it alot actually, somking for the first time. I assume it's because i just had some chocolate, but I taste a good amount of chocolate in it.

    4 Year Old Newminster 400 - Exceptional!

    for ten minutes or so. are suggesting drying is the problem or the solution? I am liking other tobaccos more right now anyways. I'll open it again in a year.

    4 Year Old Newminster 400 - Exceptional!

    I tried Davidoff flake medallions for the first time recently. The tin note was great, so I was excited. But all I got was hot air from it--absolutely no flavour. Has anyone else had this experience with DFM? I'll sit on it for a while and try again later. But there are better coins out...

    When is the vacuum seal broken?

    This is a flake. Fribourg and Treyer Vintage in a circular tin. I have a few tins of the same blend and the contents don't shake nearly as much. I think this is what worried me. I take it that the solidity of the tin is a better sign of vacuum seal than anything else.

    When is the vacuum seal broken?

    No, no smell. so that is promising.

    When is the vacuum seal broken?

    Hi everyone, I was checking my tins today for their vacuum seal. I noticed on one of them that the contents shook quite alot, but the seal seemed intact. The tin still feels solid and dimpled. To me, this seems like the seal is good. But I have read on here some people recommending to move...

    What Is The Most Out Of Production Tobacco In Your Collection?

    The brigham stuff is still available in Canada under the name 'Legends'. Maybe they have changed the blends though.
