    What Music Are You Listening To - May, 2023

    Now: MAGMA and their Udu Wudu. De Futura is a monster of a song.

    Favourite Tin Illustration

    Ok, some have new tins and some have old tins. I'd say vintage tins are superior overall in the design even if we leave out the hideous warning of today. But I'm also a fan of sign paintings of old and the galant use of fonts. Hand made. Not computer made.

    Cohibas

    Thank you for that thorough answer. One learns new stuff every day.

    Cohibas

    Here in Europe those are not allowed to be called Cohibas even. They’re called ”Silencio” because (as I read it) ”Europe recognises Cubas right to protection of the brand” which US does not. It seems they are not connected with Cohiba whatsoever… can anyone who knows more than me clarify?

    Buying American tobaccos in Europe?

    Yes, I saw that and tried a direct mess instead. Thank you.

    Buying American tobaccos in Europe?

    Just hijacking thread quickly to see if Anchovies is still around. And if so? What company was the BIG succesful one? The BF one? Don’t remember seeing any pipe smokers there…😀

    Jim's Revised Escudo Review.

    Is it just me and my somewhat crappy memory, but didn't Pease stop making some of his first popular blends, like Bohemian Scandal or such, just because he couldn't get hold of the same exact tobaccos anymore? If that is the case, I'm liking it. Shows some pride in the product.

    Who Taught You to Smoke a Pipe?

    Tobacco Knife (My Grandpa’s Old Case XX)

    I use an old folding pocket knife my father left in an old box of tobacco stuff after he went to the otherworld a bunch of years ago. I saw, and smelled, on the blade that he had used it for some more ”Jazzy” stuff than normal pipe tobacco. My mom tells me of the time in the end of the sixties...

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

    Just finished a smoke of Old Gowrie in my Peterson Ashford 86 Army Mount. Yum.

    Pipe and Stereo Types

    A nice Calabash. Horn Loaded Pipe with a slightly different flavour altogether. Otherwise, my setup is a Thorens Turntable ==> Harman Kardon 730 Twin Engine Receiver ==> Sonab Carlsson OA5 Omnidirectional Speakers. Swedish Classics. All stuff 60-70s.

    Where is the Flavor?

    I always try to find a spot with no wind and then I hang the pipe in my mouth and relax. It's some sort of breathing method where the smoke slowly fills my mouth (and here come some detailed shit) in the end of that filling I let some air in between the lips, wine tasting style, then I let some...

    Favorite Virginia Tobaccos?

    I like Orlik and Peterson Flake but have Capstan Blue as my top Virginia smoke. Always satisfactory and the only tobacco I smoke and enjoy the (very) few times I do garden work with a pipe in my mouth. And speaking about garden work, FVF is a strange one for me. I have tried it in different...

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

    Turned out I need to round off the working day with some Ascanian No 2 in a Stanwell Vario Army Mount.

    A Typical Reaction to Pipesmoking?

    Last week, I decided to smoke a pipe, walking the dog. Which is not I normally do since I like to sit down and stare into the abyss of reality thinking of other realities I create myself. I had just popped a fresh tin of Squadron Leader and just had to have that pipe even though it was a pretty...

    Recent TAD Pick-Ups

    What a fantastic story. Yeah, he is a legend. Me being Swedish, where the Comic industry is dead since decades, gave up on those dreams and went games as an illustrator. Really wished I could've met Jack as well. I have a bunch of his stuff in omnibuses.

    Pipe Chain Smokers?

    Nah. One bowl a Day, tops. Lunchbreak, quick meal then 50 minutes of smoke. Weekends, one on the porch. I'm also quite lucky to be immune to a nicotine habit (yeah, was a cig "smoker" for years when younger, but gave it up when I always forgot to smoke anyways), so it feels right to keep...

    What EU Blend Would You Like to Try?

    4 Noggins worked fine a couple of times, semi-small orders. Last order got lost, not a word from the post office and I don't think it ever got back to 4 Nog. A test order from Smokingpipes got stuck and slapped with a tax far beyond what the Tobacco did cost so I let it go. Silence Method :)...
