    What's The Rap On The Bulldog Shape?

    I usually prefer light billiards but I also have a few muscular bulldogs. An older restored BBB (2nd from left) which I will use mostly for St. Bruno, since it is already ghosted with Lakeland. That BBB bulldog smokes itself and is such a light and well crafted smoking tool and has a stem work...

    Real Codger Stuff.. Viewer Discretion Is Advised.

    I tried to toss two of my pipes into a can and then into my truck but had to give up. Might try with my smaller 1963 Dunhill grp 4 another day, although I have a long commute.

    Advanced Codger Syndrome, ACS

    For a longer period and about once a week, I went on an evening walk after office hours, to my local B&M, to buy a small tin of yellow Capstan flake. The tin was often already lying on the desk, the moment the owner saw me entering the shop. There was nothing like opening a new tin of yellow...

    Pipe Tobacco Reviews

    I sometimes enjoy reading reviews and would wish to thank those who make them? Although they are, as our tastes usually are, often very subjective. Some reviews are made after smoking a few or even a single bowl in a random pipe, whereas I myself may get very different experiences, depending on...

    The First Blend That Got You Into Pipe Smoking

    I enjoyed trying most of the then heavily advertised OTC blends, pure sugarsweet black Cavendish and some ‘weird’ ones with Latakia, when I began smoking pipe some 40 years ago. After some months, I sticked to my favorites, which were less flavored virginia flakes or coins of higher quality...

    What's the Goopiest Aromatic You've Ever Tried?

    Davidoff Brazil Virginia. I do like their cigarillos, so I took the chance at a B&M but was not aware they would put their name on a goopy aromatic like this. But on the other hand, almost all pipe tobaccos on the shelves at B&Ms are goopy aromatics, more or less, so apparently some people must...

    Need Help Getting Off My Ass

    Electric bicycles are another fun, complementary way of exercising. You do get farther than walking, still loose weight and may also get healthy. A local company here encourages their employees to commute by e-bike (or bicycle), with an extra bonus on top of their salary.

    LEGO Appreciation Thread

    We played a lot with Lego, when I was a child and when my son was a child. We have now cellared deep with Lego here. Mostly Star Wars. Nothing rare. Some of my distant family were neighbours to the owner of Lego and therefore owned some of the land, which is now Lego/Legoland in Denmark and...

    How Many Bowls Do You Smoke?

    Smoking is no longer allowed at work or inside our house but I still smoke too many (small) bowls in the garden or seldom in one of our cellar rooms. At least a 1.7 oz/50 g tin a week. This has been my dose for many years but I hope to be able reduce it some day soon, without having to quit...

    Save Boxes?

    I love boxes and cases. I didn’t keep them the first many years, when I bought a new or NOS pipe. But during the last 15 years or so, they are becoming part of my small, cherished collection. Whether new or old. Smoked or not.

    Am I the Only One Here with No Cell Phone?

    In 1992, when I was stationed in Hong Kong, cell phones were already very popular. Although they soon also became popular among Danes (and my colleagues..), I however didn’t buy and carry a portable phone until 2010. Wanted to test the camera of a Nokia N8....We still have our landline, though...

    Who Makes the Real Dunhill Now?

    You are correct. I should know better than referring to a badly edited Wikipedia page and be more precise with regards to ownership of STG. Augustinus (tobaccoproducer since 1750) is the biggest shareholder and the next one is C.W.Obel A/S (from 1787). Both have made quality tobacco products in...
