***What Are You Smoking, Nov. 2024?***
My sympathies, @Hillcrest - bad neighbours can be a misery, especially with powerful dogs they haven't the ability or sense to control. I do hope the worst case scenario doesn't develop, because it's the dogs that pay the supreme penalty, not the owner - and that strikes me as terribly unjust...- MisterBadger

***What Are You Smoking, Nov. 2024?***
Charatan Black Flake (why is it called that?) in a Kiplay, whilst checking on the bare-root strawberries that came in the post and I potted up in the greenhouse last week. The Charatan is taking some time to get to know - like some old friend, very conversational, who will happily discuss the...- MisterBadger

Update on the STG Closure Of Sutliff and Mac Baren
For a further, historical insight into the Danish national attitude, I recommend the Danish TV series '1864' (available on DVD). I caught it on UK TV a few years ago, and at first assumed from the uniforms it was about the American Civil War (something that has fascinated me since childhood, for...- MisterBadger

Weird Thought?
By a strange coincidence, I was thinking about this only a few hours ago, and before I saw this thread. I wrote my will a few months ago, and at the time merely added the direction that I wish to be buried. I am now considering a specific direction to have my pipes and tobaccos buried with me in...- MisterBadger

What are You Drinking? November 2024
Bedtime cocoa. It deserves a better name than that. Heat half a litre of whole milk, take off the heat just before simmering, add a heaped teaspoonsful of 98% cocoa, a heaped teaspoonful of Muscovado sugar, two heaped teaspoonsful of finely grated raw cacao and a generous slosh of overproof Navy...- MisterBadger

Do You Have Any Pipes You DON'T Smoke?
- That's a really fine thing to have done, IMHO: framing them with photos and the note on the back of the frame. To give your posterity some interesting information about your father, their ancestor, and to put it in a wider historical context at the same time. Truly excellent.- MisterBadger

***What Are You Smoking, Nov. 2024?***
On the farm today, shifting tons of dried leaves. One of the dullest jobs ever. The more interesting dried leaves here are Peterson's Irish Cask, in a Sovereign (GBD second) Zulu. Divine smoke. And a rainbow.- MisterBadger

***What Are You Smoking, Nov. 2024?***
Still raining... Cabbie's Mixture in the Butz-Choquin 'Balzac', using the non-churchwarden stem option supplied. The curvature, I find, is perfect to let the pipe hang for a gentle hands-free smoke. Drier now, the Cabbie's is reminding me of heavily salted chips doused in malt vinegar. This is...- MisterBadger

Update on the STG Closure Of Sutliff and Mac Baren
I remember the TV ad jingles that launched No. 6... "Big, Gold Six - Player's Number Six! Quality cigarettes - just three and six." That's 18p. In 1966, if memory serves. I was a kid at the time and didn't smoke, but did later in the 70s. They were cheap, but they were shite. Factory floor...- MisterBadger

Worst eBay Pipe Sale Description Ever
There were unfilled pits in the bowl and two very obvious incipient cracks in the shank. But very reassuring to know that it's made of wood. Bidding starts at £9.99. :ROFLMAO: Here's another AI gem from the same seller (for a Hungarian/Alpine style, this time): "This vintage Bruyere Garantie...- MisterBadger
