Maigret, The Series and The Books.
I have mostly the new Penguin English language translations. For the most part, they’re wonderfully done. Maigret is such a rich character and his technique so remarkable.

Your Most Versatile Blend
Best Brown Flake. Other tobacco is frankly superfluous. I dally with perky young vapers from time to time, and consider leaving for good, but I always come home. I don't know why I roam.- hugodrax

Public Service Announcement Regarding Savinelli's Doblone d'Oro
Why do you people do this? I like a tobacco underneath the radar, one of you boogers goes and does this and the next thing you know, some lonely old feeblefester buys forty pounds of the stuff because he thinks he’s immortal and I can’t get it any more. Then, when he kicks off two months...- hugodrax

Maigret, The Series and The Books.
Je m’appele Paul aussi, monsieur. Vous êtes corretes. Milles merci pour votre explication de cela que j'ai dit. Maigret, il etait le fils d’un registeur et ses goûts étaient ceux d’un paysan.- hugodrax

State Of The Cellar Report
A wondrous phrase. Contentment. Me, too. Just a few tins as I purchase and smoke through a tin a week. Admire your collections, gentlemen, but I'm happy, too.- hugodrax

Maigret smoked caporal gris, sir. While it was never mentioned, the grey paper packet is and that gives it away.- hugodrax

Samuel Gawith Brown No. 4
That's so odd, to me I get the Black Ropes and can taste them, while the brown boogers are just an acrid sensation. Oh well, we don't compete for resources!- hugodrax

Samuel Gawith Brown No. 4
Yeah, yeah. The real guys that smoked this were 4 feet tall hunchbacked Welshmen (but I repeat myself) that died ot' stagnation oft' loong when they were thirty-five. Ever wonder why he ended up governor of California? Store bought muscles and a preference for the eingemachefrau.- hugodrax

Samuel Gawith Brown No. 4
We romanticize the British working classes of the 19th century. The backbone of Empire they might have been, but their existence was bleak and even their pleasures questionable by modern standards. This stuff epitomizes the brutality of the age. Damned near singed my nut hairs off, it did.- hugodrax

You know, both buyer and seller in this instance acted with a lot of class. We could probably do that, too.- hugodrax
