    Ordering the new pipe.

    If Haddocks has a pipe you like I would order it in a heartbeat from them. I think it is the largest selected pipeshop in the Netherlands, at least with a online store.

    ***What Are You Smoking, November 2022?***

    Ascanian #2 in my Stanwel Silver S 85, this pipe doesn't get a lot of love but putting it back in the rotation I almost forgot how well it smokes. It was my previous Presbyterian smoking pipe, but I didn't get any ghost in it.

    Family Insults

    I light my pipe and puff away. Being a curmudgeon isn't reserved for old people, people under 40 can be to *ahem*. Excuse my misunderstanding of your questions and my natural born blundness, but seeing those questions do you doubt your own decision to venture into this hobby/way of taking...

    Ode to My First Meer

    Congratulations on this beauty, enjoy! My Meerschaums generally don't get the smoking love they should have, but i'm putting them back into the rotation.

    Who Buys Tins to Age Ten Years or More?

    I have 2 blends I stocked up on (at least for my smoking habits) that could possibly reach those 10 years, but they are not bought with that goal in mind. Point is only by that time I will know it was worth it to stock it that long. I don't think I would buy anything to age it deliberately 10...

    ***What Are You Smoking, November 2022?***

    First spin with HU Janneman Flake in this Svendborg. I normally have to smoke through a tin to determine if a blend is cellar worthy, but this is a instant homerun.

    Too Large to Smoke in Public

    What would be your 2022 Holiday Blend?

    The k&k aromatics that are made for brands that have a holiday blend like Rattrays or Vauen are not really highly regarded. I'm not picky on tobacco, but I had a sample of some Easter tobacco supposedly infused with some eggnog type of liquor, it was disgusting. Bremen Pipesmoker does a review...

    Progressing Through the Smoke

    If my tobacco has the right moisture level for that type of tobacco and my packing is right for that cut of tobacco I enjoy the bowl front to back. A english mixture for me a can be a little more moist, where I like a virginia or burley bone dry. A ribbon cut can be packed a bit tighter (3 pinch...

    Beginner Lighter Recommendations for Cigars?

    I have 2 (single and triple) El cheapo Chinese jetline copy, bought 2 years ago and works fine, so a cheap set from for example Amazon is fine. In general I like smaller ring gauge from 42 to 48, I use the single the most. You have more control on where you toast and touch ups are more precise.

    The (Un)Official PipesMagazine Secret Santa Thread 2022!

    You crack me up man, you really do 🤢🤮 😂. No I didn't find a hair in it, let alone one of mine possibly.

    What Are You Drinking? October 2022

    Latvian brewer Hopalaa Double Dry Hopped Double Indian Pale Ale where some just would call it DDHDIPA. They claim to be one of the best IPA makers, so I was curious about this brewery, while Double Hopped IPA is also my jam. The DIPA part seems gimmick to me, I'm not about the hazy color of it...

    The (Un)Official PipesMagazine Secret Santa Thread 2022!

    Very much! It tasted like it smelled, like summer fresh cut grass. Depends on what you can grow, but a pinch of burley wouldn't do it any harm I think, maybe deepen it a bit.

    The (Un)Official PipesMagazine Secret Santa Thread 2022!

    I filled in "anything" just so I can be the threadclown when posting my cans of dogshit. No I'm asking for that special h&h blend, a tin of mccranies red ribbon, some homebrewed concoction that has bomb sweet taste which I really like and I would like to get a silver tamper with it. Most of...

    Rotation of Pipes

    If the oldtimers did it claiming they never had to buy a new one, why not experiment? My weekly average is your daily average, I like to dedicate a pipe to a blend when possible, but I also have "taster" pipes that are seeing a bit more abuse.
