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

    Thanks a lot. I really like it, it’s my first one. It’s far from perfect, but I had good luck that the grain on that side turned out as an almost straight grain. Black tea for staining, made it a redhead. Later on I swapped the stem a premolded black one, longer than that one with an awful tight...

    Process Of Selecting Next Smoke.

    Yes there is a process, especially when there is more wonderful tobacco there than I can smoke at one time. Which one I crave the most and in what pipe is sometimes a Complicated Game:

    What makes a blend Danish?

    Maybe dark shag cuts for rolling your own cigarettes come to my mind. But they had remarkable pipe tobaccos from their colonies like Java or Sumatra. Theodorus Niemeyer was one of the well known Dutch tobacco kings. What’s left today? I don’t know.

    What makes a blend Danish?

    I looked him up just a moment ago, yes of course grown up with his fairytales. And there are some other Hans as well, kings, princes, princesses. But still for me as german native speaker the name Hans is more connected to that well known sphere. But what contributes is that the Danes and...

    What makes a blend Danish?

    That Chat GPT doesn’t have a clue and has read to much advertising. You won’t hardly find dark fired Kentucky in a danish blend, instead it’s quite similar to American aromatics main ingredients are Virginias and Black Cavendish with few burley, if any at all. And of course fruity and spicy...

    What makes a blend Danish?

    No Knud, Malthe or Viggo are danish. Hans is german, often short for Johannes. I know, i know, i know, it was a joke, sorry.

    Just opened a tin Three Nuns for a smoke in the Jensen Chimney. Had it long time ago. Don’t remember it being so tasty. I enjoy the Dark fired Kentucky very much.

    The Pipe : Baudelaire

    Ah yes Baudelaire he was one of the great masters of French poetry of the 18th century, a master of disillusion, pessimism and melancholy. Also a well known translator of the writings of Edgar Allan Poe. And obviously a pipe smoker.

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

    Had a smoke in one of those airport smoking cabins at Cape Town. Irish cask in my Kiko. No chairs no drinks, the once quite comfortable smoking lounge where we used to get a gin tonic in those days before Covid is gone. At least you can puff a few clouds ☁️ Into the aircon. Heading to the...
