A July Night with the Pipe Club of Hong Kong
Thanks for the report. That room looks familiar ? I was a Danish expat in HKG for some time, many years ago. When the British ruled. Got some local friends and enjoyed being invited home to their family, the fantastic local food, friendly culture, etc. I should have kept in contact... Wish I...- danish

Changing Tastes...Shifting Toward Aros (Long Post)
I have always preferred black coffee, dark chocolate and traditional old English style va, va/per, va/bur or va/lat tobaccos, with limited amount of toppings. 95 pct of the aros/otcs on the market that I tried, say not much to me. But some aromatics are better than others? Some months ago I...- danish

Car Magazines
I subscribed to car magazines in Denmark some decades ago and I was at that time also fortunate to visit USA, for a 3 week business trip, where I also bought some of the local car magazines. To get to and from the office and about, they lent me a new V8 Mercury Grand Marquis and I much...- danish

Lost Pipes
Nice to hear most of you have few pipe losses :) I have lost many fine pipes. A nice daily rotation lot, when my suitcase was stolen, on a tour with the brass band. Didn’t care so much about the pipes though, as my late grandpa’s fine shoes were also in that suitcase! Several pipes lost in a...- danish

How Many TV's Do You Have?
One flat 32” smart TV in living room, connected to the wifi, hifi and to an antenna in the attic, for the few remaining non-commercial free public national tv stations. We have never watched much TV.- danish

When Did The Trend Go From Small To Large Pipes?
I recall the days when pipe smoking was a lot more common (and cheap) here in Denmark and a lot more common here than e.g. in Germany. We Danish pipe smokers almost laughed, when visiting tobacconists in Germany. The pipes looked somehow weird and huge to us. And some even had filters, ha ha... -

Are There Any Members Here That Do Not Worry or Bother With Building A Cellar?
Ha ha! I guess I am a grasshopper! To add pain to my earlier mentioned ignorance, I was some years ago, through friends, gifted a fine, decades old tobacco cellar from a late ant. It consisted of dozens of unopened tins from late factories. I found them just as good (or better) than the fresh...- danish

Are There Any Members Here That Do Not Worry or Bother With Building A Cellar?
I have a cellar but only two open tins. I should have cellared, while I could afford it, during my almost 40 years pipe smoking career but not until recently have I considered doing it, after being influenced by joining forums:) I don’t remember it being a subject in the heydays of pipe smoking...- danish

Bradley from the STUFFandTHINGS on Radio Show of Dec 17, 2019
Contrary to many other you tubers, Bradley's tobacco reviews get to the point quickly and he seems honest and uses a standard procedure, which make his reviews easier to reference to other tobaccos that he reviewed. Actually he is so good at it, that you could almost forgive him for using softie...- danish

Tobacco Grinder?
Only very few dedicated pipe shops survived here in Denmark too. I do however believe in my above idea about developing a ‘flake cutter purse’! But seeing the market for such niche products dwindling and with the latest tobacco legislation and taxes here in Denmark and elsewhere, you could...- danish

Tobacco Grinder?
I prefer ribbon cut but I mostly smoke flakes, ha ha. I have for some time wondered if a very small parsley chopper, built into a tobacco purse, would be a nice accessory...Patent pending:ROFLMAO:- danish

Old Catalogs - Lots Of Pipes
This topic made me take a look in an old German shoe catalogue of mine. Considering the smoking policy of the 3rd Reich, I did not expect to find any pipe smoking gentlemen pictured. But lo and behold:- danish

Dunhill
The prices for new White Spots/Dunhills are high in US retail, compared to Europe, that is a fact. In any case, if you prefer old style classic lightweight pipes with good comfortable vulcanite stem work and not the usual too thick and maybe acrylic bite, then the cheaper alternatives to these... -
Handing The Pipe Down
Like my non-smoking father told me, I have told my (fortunately still non-smoking) 18 year old son how stupid it is to start smoking. But I also told him that my beloved Dunhill may be of higher resale value than my corncob, the day I am gone...- danish

Palate Fatigue?
Apart from the usual palate enhancers, such as smoking less, alcoholic drinks, exercising, garden work etc., I just took up trying to play trombone again, some months ago, just for my own fun and noticed that after maybe only 20 minutes of blowing the horn, the pipe tastes much better! Not...- danish
