    How To Home Stove Tobacco - Informational Only

    Visited a friend a week ago. He showed me an amazing original Dunhill 965 mixture. As he opened the tin we saw a good amount of mould and we had to to throw the tin in the garbage. He tried to rehydrate the tobacco with apple slices. Potatoe peels may have the same effect. Just try a few drops...

    I know it’s not popular at least on a pipe smokers forum to say, that there is a always a precious live without smoking.

    Show off your Rattray's Pipes Here!

    Not the maker the seller of course is responsible for a replacement or compensation. By the way I like the classic line of Rattray pipes, doesn’t matter where they are produced.

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

    Salty dog 🐶 in a noname “old briar” pipe maybe sold in the 1950s former GDR, with a cheap nylon stem. Good smoker though.

    Best with Coffee...

    HH burley flake with its chocolate aromas pairs wonderful with creamed coffee. This is only topped by the Burley Cup blended by Tom Darasz in Kiel. This has in addition a decent coffee aroma on its own.

    Show off your Rattray's Pipes Here!

    It looks a lot like a mortar pipe, one of the most difficult woods for pipe making, because of its structural incoherence. Why didn’t you give It back to the seller?

    Lamb's Stones Anyone?

    In former times we used the whole animal to our goodness. In our affluent societies we eat the filets. Even on kidney, liver and hearts we wrinkle our nose not to mention the hooves, ears, nose or tongues.

    Show off your Rattray's Pipes Here!

    Kohlhaas and Kopp obviously bought the label. They say that the pipes are now produced in France and Italy, look pipedia: “Oliver Kopp has been the driving force behind the Rattrays pipes, using a number of traditional makers in Saint-Claude (Chacom & Butz-Choquin) and also by factories in Italy...

    So Maybe Pizza Originated in Pompeii?

    And the roman wifes used it to get those dark, deep eyes 👀, some others to get high on it. It was regarded as aphrodisiac too. Not so toxic as a one might think.

    Falcon Negatives?

    Love it or leave it. I love it, great little pipe for a short smoke. Yes the design is questionable, but reasonable to the built of the pipe, in those times, when aluminium was hipp in aircraft engineering. It looks like a Junkers Ju 52, and it smokes like that. Slow, reliable, easy to maintain...

    So Maybe Pizza Originated in Pompeii?

    The pizza we know today is originated from Napoli. With tomatoes that were unknown before the west explored South America, also buffalo mozzarella, olive oil are some of the ingredients etc. baked especially for a very short period in very hot oven beneath a wood fire. But similar flatbread...

    Best Pipe for Your Buck

    Maybe you transferred the tone of the car forum to that one. Most of my pipes I drew out of junk shops and flea markets for about ten bucks. It’s so easy to get them shiny and going. Recently I got there a Stanwell pipe of the year shape of the 1990s for 5. Another one was a handcrafted 70s...
