    Why Have I Never Lost My Taste For Latakia?

    If that's what you like, smoke it. Me being a noob (>1 year) I'm actually surprised I like Va(Per) and Oriental forward blends. I like a splash of latakia, but it doenst have to taste like a campfire.

    Perplexed with Time

    These are things that shift overall in society, but let's keep it to smoking. I dont need to smoke inside and I don't have the urge to force someone else to enjoy my bad habit like my kids. I'm inside a lot, I have a desk job and enjoy being outside so it's no punishment for me to smoke outside...

    Tobaccos that Shine the Brightest in a Meerschaum?

    Nice pipe! Whatever you enjoy smoke it in this pipe.

    Perplexed with Time

    Some can smoke allday while doing other stuff. I can't, I'm not smoking in the house and can't smoke during work. But it also gives me a reason to get away from everything and just enjoy tobacco. Also I dont have to smoke all day, I generally have enough on 2 or 3 bowls a day

    Post Covid Taste

    My taste and smell was off for about a week, jumped right back and somehow improved on all fronts. Food, drinks and tobacco all changed for the better. Maybe abstaining for a week helped.

    Altinok Thoughts

    Never really looked into them, but I like his classic shapes!

    Turkish Meerschaum

    I think there are ample topics in where the Order of Meerschaumlovers have been motivating why to buy one, there is a special meerschaum section on the forum. I really like mine.

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

    Love the boxer ? my gramps had one when my mom was a little girl, wouldn't part from her, became a little overprotective even my grandparents were not tolerated near her. Ascanian #2 in this for the evening and nightshift

    B&M Etiquette

    Everything is arranged on a federal level here, our country is so tiny it's not doable to arrange that on a province level. Untill a few years ago it was allowed to smoke in bars and restaurants, then it was only allowed when the put a fishtank within the establishment with proper ventilation...

    B&M Etiquette

    It's more they were not allowed to stay open, smoking rooms in any workspace are prohibited from 1.1.2022. Yes, really, you work in a cigar shop because you don't like smoking.

    B&M Etiquette

    A good cigar lounge here asked 5 euros an hour with drinks (coffee, tea, soda) included which is a steal. If he wants to charge me more he should, I think it's a matter of fair giving and taking: he provides me a service, I pay him a fair amount in for example a fee and extra tobacco. I've never...

    Another Bridge Bites The Dust ?

    Damn, looks like a bomb went off! Owning and after that using here is preposterous expensive overhere, roadtax is for my cars about a 1000 euros a year and fuel is about 2 euros a litre with about 75 to 80% being taxes. But I must say, they use those tax euros on maintaining the roads very...

    Petersons!

    In that case that is something I would buy in a heartbeat!

    Petersons!

    Might be the angle and lighting, but I think this is a bit to dark for a smooth. I forgot the B61 shape we corresponded about, great shape!

    Cost vs. Quality….

    If you make the plain comparison between cost vs quality the MM Carolina Gent would win for me, stem is a lot better than any of the "standard" MM's. Throwing a Forever stem on a standard MM sets me back as much as ordering a "special" edition MM. But like @hoosierpipeguy says, its not that...

    Petersons!

    My Peterson, I really don't know about the P lip yet and the way it delivers flavor, but I like this shape. And I really like their spigots, especially their Newgrange, think the blast is a lot better on this one than on my relative cheap System Standard. Like remarked by @craig61a their...
