Among the rubbish (broken furniture, moldy clothes and chipped...- Gecko

What’s Your Favorite Style?
Read your reply a bit to fast and got a bit bothered. Upon realising there is two 'e' and no 'i' the word you wrote I felt temporary at ease, but it didn't make much sense now... How can a cigar look like the top end of a hammer head? Then I googled what a peen is according to urban...- Gecko

What Do You Like Or Dislike About An Oom Paul?
I have a Rossi 8614 Oom Paul that I really like. I like that the shape gives you a big chamber in a pipe that's still comfortable to clench. Perfect shape for long car drives.- Gecko

Got A New Dog Today, Apparently
Totally! When my oldest was 2 he acted like every day was the Great Escape and he's Steve McQueen blazing away for the Swiss border. Me and the wife had to chase him down constantly.... God times though, you get so much joy from them at that age! ?- Gecko

Can You Pack Too Loose?
I would say yes you can. I like my tobacco with a bit of moisture and spring left in it and if I only gravity fill and tap I only get 5 minutes of smoking out of my smaller pipes. I do a variation of the codger mash, very loose at the bottom and a bit firmer at the top. Which seems to work for...- Gecko

Hello From Four Oaks North Carolina
Welcome from Sweden! As others have said you need to smoke slow and cool to get the flavours. Thinking about it as sipping like you do a fine whiskey, not taking drags like you would a cigarette really helped me. If you like ?

Do You Have A Favourite Quick Meal?
In the words of the late great Warren Zevon "enjoy every sandwich". For a quick bite a sandwich can't be beat (IMHO) and are neverendingly versatile and practical. Some of my favourite quick lunch for one sandwiches are: *Mayo, ham, and mustard on rye. *Butter, fried egg and Habanero Tabasco...- Gecko

Your Very Large Purchase or Your Humongous Cellar.
I like seeing pictures of other peoples cellars and purchases as a relative newbie to the pipe & pipe-tobacco world I find them inspirational and helpful. I've never got the impression that the pictures are posted to brag, I believe they are posted to start pipe related discussion which is what...- Gecko

What’s Your Favorite Style?
Don't smoke cigars often anymore but back when I did Lanceros were my favourite they let the wrapper leaf be in focus and be prominent in the flavour. Plus Steve McQueen looked so damn cool smoking them in the Thomas Crown Affair.- Gecko
