    Zippo Fluid

    Disclaimer: ive only been buying zippo fluids for 2 years, so I can not asses your statement of fluid being less potent. But I dont think you can compare the amount of fuel you use for lighting X pipes and the amounts of relights you do against lighting X cigarettes. I refill mine each 3 days...

    ***What Are You Smoking, March 2024?***

    Another afternoon with SG Perfection in a Altinay paired with a IPA. While SG blends are generally twice as expensive in the EU in comparison to other brands and blends I quite enjoy this one, so might sneak a SG tin here and there when ordering. The cut of this one is a really fine ribbon, is...

    What are You Reading Now?

    Finished cat and mouse by mj ardlidge yesterday. Quite decent, I think the first and last 150 pages better than the middle 200 ish pages. The grand finale was a bit predictable, but exiting to read. If this would be the end of the novel series it would be a bummer, a bit to open for a good...

    Watch Out or Watch on? Pt 2.

    My daily d(r)iver for almost 17 years now. Let me down once but was quickly fixed under service warranty. Love the look, love the comfort of the bracelet, love the movement, love the lumen for at night. It has a few scratches, a ding on the bezel, but I wouldnt trade it for a present day Omega...

    Show us Your Best Smoker

    I like all my pipes, but in general this is the pipe that burns everything like it should. Some pipes seem to be made for this or that (which is a myth for sure, but we like to think to let PAD kick in) and I wholeheartly admit I say that to, but for this pipe it doesnt matter. Put in a english...

    ***What Are You Smoking, March 2024?***

    Bit windy but spring is coming! First spin with SG Perfection gifted by SS 2023 @vates in a Altinay. Pairing with a belgian blonde ale.

    What Tobacco did your Ancestors Smoke?

    My dads father smoked the dutch style RYO, or shag as we call it, I think it was Samson. He quit in the late 80's after a minor heart stroke and surgery. My mothers parents smoked after WW2 whatever was available, but quit in the 60's. My parents dont smoke. So im the black sheep in the family...

    Pesse Canoe?

    That Oriental Flake sounds great, according to Estervals with a fig and raisin topping, just might call it a OrPer. On the list for next order!

    ***What Are You Smoking, March 2024?***

    Either Patriot Flake or Hamburger Veermaster (I lost my spreadsheet with what is in which jar, luckily I haven't much jars open) in a Altinay. While I'm not a fan of straight VA, this was a quite decent smoke, maybe I steer more to bright VA's than dark VA's.

    ***What Are You Smoking, March 2024?***

    First spin with St Bruno in a Peterson 150. This pipe smokes Burley like a dream, dunno if that's a thing or that any pipe could smoke Burley like this. No idea what the "flavoring" should be, tastes quite straightforward to me with a lighter touch than my last experiences with ABF and HHBF.

    Core Four

    If I had to chose 4 tobaccos right now: MB Navy Flake Presby HU Janneman A vanilla aromatic like MB Classic Roll Cake But this list could change tomorrow. What would not reach the list fast is a straight VA.

    Who Has a Job He Actually Loves?

    Do I love my job? Love it no, but I don't hate it either; money is great, secondary's are great, team I work in is great, the people above me are working with and not against me to get the job done. But the field of IT isn't as fullfilling as hoped, there are lines of code that do something...

    ***What Are You Smoking, February 2024?***

    HU Janneman Flake in a Altinay. Incredible after 2 years and wonder how it will be with a few more years.

    Red Virginias

    I felt the same. Been carefull with smoking my only tin down, took me 2 years. Marvelous smoke, could be because of the age, but suspect a fresh tin would be great also. Makes me wonder how good any other red VA is with the same age.
