The Explorer...Going All In for Adventure's Sake
I agree..and doing that at the same time as I explore the range. Yesterday I had my second pass of Officer's Club in a 3mil pipe with a smaller apple bowl. It was my first cool smoke throughout and I was able to taste notes of cherry for the first time even though it is not listed on the...- Marie

General Help With a Specific Pipe
This might go a bit beyond the pale for purists. As a new pipe smoker (and cigars as well), I am more partial to mild blends so far. With cigar smoking, I enjoy pairing with beverages for an overall experience. Such as alternating between a nice cup of coffee (with cream & sugar) and puffing on...- Marie

General Help With a Specific Pipe
I'm about a couple weeks in with pipe smoking (after crashing and burning a year ago). Tried a couple aromatics in a chimney pipe. Just could not keep it lit. I switched to a different bowl type (upon recommendation of the nice folks here in the forum) and now I'm off to the races! It was a big...- Marie

Cool Replica Box
Wow! That is so cool! What an incredible collection! :sher: I like to keep the busy-ness hidden for aesthetics, however the main thing is the collection itself. I do believe we will be entering a time where costs of things will really slow down retail purchasing even further than it is now. You...- Marie

Cool Replica Box
That's a great find! I enjoy collecting 2nd-hand and antiques. I don't have room for a study, so I have been ruminating on a nook in my space for a tobacco cabinet. I get the functionality of the mason jars, but the visual aesthetic is not so pleasing for me. Looking for something nicely...- Marie

The Explorer...Going All In for Adventure's Sake
I have gotten to this place with black tea and flavored black tea. I know enough of the range that I blend myself according to what I have (which is what I like to have on hand for basic variety). I keep a good basic couple of black teas (strong robust english breakfast, scottish breakfast)...- Marie

The Explorer...Going All In for Adventure's Sake
I do share your sentiment about the getting to know a blend instead of darting around constantly. That is still part of my road. I also want to stretch in to new territory a bit as well at the same time. Toggle back and forth. A different kind of approach to palette cleansing.- Marie

Family Recipes
I am SO on a korean BBQ kick still! I tried my hand at making winter kimchi a few times (the red spicy kind). It turned out great...however not without a never-to-be-forgotten incident where I accidentally dropped the jar of fermented salted shrimp. Between that and the smell of fermenting...- Marie

Scandinavian Tobacco Group A/S to acquire Mac Baren Tobacco Company A/S
This is what I was thinking towards as well. The entire food industry has been altered in the same way. BlackRock and Vanguard are the majority shareholders for the handful of global corporations that have bought up virtually all of the food-branded companies in the US market...even most of the...- Marie

Scandinavian Tobacco Group A/S to acquire Mac Baren Tobacco Company A/S
I'm a curious cat. 🔎 Has anyone dug into the online file cabinet of STG? I thought the Chairman's Report on April 4th of 2024 contained a good directional nod in how they might play their hand shaping things. Pages 3, 4, 7 & 8 were most interesting...- Marie

Increasing Number of Possible AI Bots?
I was exploring around the forum several days back and clicked on the 'Members Online' link on the main forum page a ways down on the left-hand column.

Hello from Los Angeles, CA
Same! Pools like sushi houses...one on every corner and most of the way through. Just when I get into pipe smoking, the So Cal beast of Summer comes crashing in and relegates me to pre-sunrise/post-sunset smoking hours on my little balcony overlooking a sea of palm trees. At least international...- Marie
