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

    Show Off Your Petersons Here!

    I got my Peterson Deluxe Classic 150 in. I tried to disassemble it and the stem won't come loose. It's even that tight that I'm scared to snap it with to much pressure (happened to me once, although the shank was thinner on that one) and even doubt that it's fit for disassembling. Anyone got...

    Ordering for a Cellar Blindly

    Now I know why I can't order in Spain John! Hurray for free market trading or at least what's left of it.

    Peterson Irish Seconds: ID Strange/Rare Stamping?

    I also looked into Irish seconds pipes, getting a spigot for this price with a flaw is great.

    Ordering for a Cellar Blindly

    Like @MacMarty89 said, nothing is set in stone in politics, certainly in EU politics there can be shifts in the landscape with a snap of a finger (imagine a purple Ursula von der Leyen with a glove like Thanos from the Avengers haha) and Germany might take a while. I didn't want to scare you but...

    Ordering for a Cellar Blindly

    Thank you all for your suggestions, you convinced me to not buy blind for a cellar but stick to a few blends I like. I'm lucky I allready have stocked on a few blends I like and I only have to try some virginia and burley blends to determine what my stock will be for those blends. In my heart...

    Ordering for a Cellar Blindly

    Sorry to inform you but it's no speculation, the Dutch government has announced it will do so because EU regulations permit them to. In 2024 tobacco counters will be banned from grocery stores, so you can only get tobacco at gas stations and specialty shops, after 2030 there might come a ban for...

    Europe. 300 euros a kilo, where HH Virginia or capstan is around 250.

    Help Identify this Danish Pipe.

    The marking on the stem is to vague on the pictures to see, but you can search on markings on the pipephil website.

    Which I really like, sad it's about 20% more expensive than any other quality Virginia.

    Great to see someone rationalize my overthinking. @The Amish Tyrant good suggestions, thank you! I actually quite disliked Capstan dare I say.

    Ordering for a Cellar Blindly

    Good point, im more willing to invest now and take a risk than having to invest time and money in visiting Germany a lot instead of replenish the stock once a year for example. That's the point, I can't point to what I like now. I have a favor for Presbyterian and 965/Red Raparree like...

    What About Pipes Do You

    I'm lucky to not crave very fast to anything. I smoked cigs when I was in my late teens and early twenties like a lot of wannabee cool kids did and quited cold turkey because it didn't feel right anymore. The past 2 years I used my tobacco in cigars and pipe to relax a little, think over things...

    Ordering for a Cellar Blindly

    I'm getting into a logistics crunch for 2023: expected is that EU countries won't allow the online sales of tobacco anymore. In basis this means I have to build my cellar this year, as the Netherlands is a pipe tobacco desert in general and I mailorder from Germany. I'm still testing blends I...

    Favorite Places to Smoke, and Public Piping Etiquette

    Your examples are in the same way discourtious and don't belong in any social environment to my opinion (same as I think smoking in a restaurant should not come back), but are way more accepted somehow and that's the big difference for smokers. Smoking has become way less socialy acceptable in...

    Relatively speaking old then ?. Your comment on the 21st century plague is exactly the point of the anti-sunscreen cult.

    Jensen in Denmark is like Johnson in the USA.

    Favorite Places to Smoke, and Public Piping Etiquette

    I chuckled a bit on that scene, while quite old it's exactly the sentiment of present day. There is also a movement that finds it ridiculous which is getting quite extreme in the same manner, like people thinking sunscreen is more dangerous than getting melanoma (true story), just because...

    Favorite Places to Smoke, and Public Piping Etiquette

    The only place I can smoke while having a walk, in the comfort of my home or garden and at work at the smoking area. I try to be as courteous as possible, my habits are mine and I should not bother anyone with them. I'm fine with those options as I like to be alone when smoking, but I think it's...

    What About Pipes Do You

    You can burn relative cheap but still quality tobacco in a satisfying way in a pipe compared to cigars (expensive for a bit of quality) and cigarettes (not satisfying to me).
