    Jim's Wesley's Blends Reviews.

    Thanks @JimInks, it’s hard to find fine pipe tobacco in Cape Town, other than Davidoff or Peterson. Wesley‘s is located in the east of SA and the last shop, that sold the stuff in CT, I knew, closed down it’s pipe smoking section. Not a lot seem to smoke pipe there. But it maybe easy to get...

    Best City for a Pipe Smoker

    That statistic must have been old. This message published just a minute ago in a german newspaper mirrors what’s happening now: „In Sweden, smokers are no longer allowed to light up cigarettes in the outdoor areas of restaurants. On Monday, a new tobacco law for public places came into force in...

    JJ Fox or Peterson pipe Non filter

    The James Fox pipes from Dunhill workshop look perfect for me, if I wished to buy a very first pipe. If a filter chamber is included the better. You can choose and experiment with filtered smoke or just smoke it without filter as well to find out what you prefer. It’s just a thing of personal...

    Chancellor Helmut Kohl nickname „Birne“ (pear), though I didn’t like the conversative political style, he was a statesman in his own right compared to nowadays.

    ***What Are You Smoking, August 2023?***

    Perique-Cones in the Isle of Man Bulldog. It wasn’t available for a few months, now I bought a new batch. Darasz used different tobaccos this time and almost doubled the price. It is much darker now and it tastes more like SG Cabbie’s Mixture. I preferred the old mixture as a daily smoke.

    Is this Meerschaum, and Can I Wash it?

    The surface of meerschaum pipes is treated traditionally and intentionally with beeswax, it’s water repellent. So don’t mind the water treatment, as long as you don’t soak the piece. There is no chemical reaction after drying out meerschaum, it’s not a stone nor clay, it’s a mineral with needle...

    Vulcanite Composition

    It takes a while after sanding an old vulcanite stem but you can’t stop the process of decaying material. Keep them out of light, light will speed up the process. I tried some acrylic stems, but the feel and thickness is not the same as vulcanite stems and not for me. As long as I won’t taste...

    Helmut Schmidt was characterised as a fast puffer, he tried pipes but was more into cigarettes. He was the only and probably the last one allowed to smoke in a German TV Studio in Interviews and political talks he attended at the age 96 in 2015. At that time no one was allowed to smoke 💨 n TV.

    Porridge Anyone ?

    As a kid I preferred fine rolled oats in cold milk with with a spoonful of instant cacao and sweetened with sugar. It was getting better and batter till the end when the oats sucked up the cacao. Heard of porridge later.
