    Watch it Over and Over

    Those are the greatest for me: John Lurie‘s „Stranger than paradise“, „2001 A Space Odyssey“, Andrei Tarkowski‘s „Solaris“, Bertrand Tavernier‘s „Coup de torchons“/ „Der Saustall“ with Philippe Noiret and Isabelle Huppert, Fellinis „La Dolce Vita“ and any of Jean Luc Godard, who died too soon.

    What Music Are You Listening to - July, 2023

    UB 40 have had their time. I still like this album. Maybe it’s just the feel of the beginning 1980s, when it was easy to enunciate some protest against the establishment.

    Milan Kundera

    I remember being slightly bored by Kundera most famous novel „The Unbearable Lightness of Being“ in the 1980s and put it away. But I loved the Philip Kaufman movie with Juliette Binoche.

    Hi from South Africa

    The Oom Paul shape is one of the last shapes to buy I am thinking of. Quite a chunk. Happy to see someone from SA! Greetings from Cologne, now, in November will be back in Mother City for some time.

    Hesitation to Pay for Smaller Pipes

    I am shure that if I would go for a giant, I wouldn’t anyways, sooner or later I could find one for 10 bucks. But that’s not what I wanted to say. It’s just a marketing thing to say bigger is better and you have to pay more for it.

    Hesitation to Pay for Smaller Pipes

    I don’t see any compelling necessity to connect the size of the pipe to price. It’s the craftsmanship, the dedication and the vision of the pipemaker, that decides upon the quality of a pipe. The time consuming process of carving is the same. And pieces of briar bought by the pound can’t make a...

    Hesitation to Pay for Smaller Pipes

    Never thought of buying pipes by the pound. Most of the time I smoke smaller pipes. Price doesn’t matter much, i grab mine from the junk shop for a few bucks anyways.

    Opinions on "Barrel-Aged" Tobacco

    Had it once, that’s a good one. Been looking for a similar since. Didn’t know it was ripening in sherry barrels. Smelled an smoked not like sherry at all, just Perique and Virginias.

    Opinions on "Barrel-Aged" Tobacco

    I like Irish Cask a lot. When you open the tin it smells of sherry a little bit. But I couldn’t get a hint off that smell in the smoke, just the Perique. That’s good for me, because I don’t like alcoholics like whiskey or rum aromas in my smoke anyways. But if the producer says that it’s ripened...

    ISO Huber Golden Virginia Flake (07/22/2022)

    Yep Peter Heinrichs „Haus der 10000 Pfeifen“ hasn’t changed, though he sadly died a few years ago. I knew him, very friendly and really kölsch guy. Once in the beginning of the 1990s he had a degustation of a new fat Cuban cigar in his Chateau Henry with a Cuban ambassador and a popular district...

    ISO Huber Golden Virginia Flake (07/22/2022)

    Just the way it should be done, high end, but it’s not a Currywurst.
