What are You Reading Now?
May I ask where you found it and how you're liking it so far? It doesn't seem to be an easy book to find these days.- Gecko

What are You Reading Now?
Have finished and thoroughly enjoyed the Flashman Papers. I plan to eventually revisit sir Harry in Tom Browns School Days and the American. But for the moment I feel that a short break from the lovable scoundrel is in order. I have now picked up Titan: The Life of John D. Rockefeller, Sr. by...- Gecko

Pitted Peterson, Return Or Not?
Tell you what... If you bring them over here so I can give them a once over and then I'll consider it ? Our mountains are shaped like upside down wash basins, so when you are ascending them you spend a couple of hours thinking the top is just ahead of you (because of the line of sight). -

Pitted Peterson, Return Or Not?
It's the Fulufjället mountain with Njupeskärsfallet waterfall. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fulufj%C3%A4llet_National_Park -
Pitted Peterson, Return Or Not?
I paid about 80 USD + shipping for it which I think is a rather low price, the only Peterson carying b&m around here wants 150 USD for a system standard smooth. As I said earlier I decided to enjoy the pipe and not return it. Brought it with me into the mountains today and christened it with... -

Pitted Peterson, Return Or Not?
I thought this pit was out of the ordinary, guess I still have a lot to learn about pipes and briar. I'll fill it with a little wax and enjoy the heck out of my new pipe. Thanks guys! -
Pitted Peterson, Return Or Not?
Bought a Peterson 301 from (former?) site sponsor GQtobaccos.com their prices on Peterson pipes are very low but the pipes are only presented with generic pictures, not individually photographed. Upon unboxing and inspecting the pipe I found a pit. Love the pipe, the shape and size of it, large... -

Nording Compass Metal Pipes
Lol ? You might actually be right about that as Nörding according to what I've heard has moved most production from Denmark to Poland. -
Nording Compass Metal Pipes
I have two (full briar). They are great lightweight clenchers. One of them whistles but you only notice with empty chamber. Good smokers, no complaints there. Mine are not balanced and cannot remain standing on their own. The big problem with them in my experience is that the metal stems... -
Cigar Leaf Based Blends... C&D Billy Budd vs HU Nyala
I've added both Habana Daydream and the Synjeco ropes to my list of tobaccos to try. To bad the Swiss (Synjeco) are outside the EU and therefore, for us Swedes, subject to the same draconian taxes and fees as purchases from the US.- Gecko

Cigar Leaf Based Blends... C&D Billy Budd vs HU Nyala
Thank you! This would be interesting to try, acquire some cigar wrapper leaf and some strong burley and mix in with a Latakia heavy English or Balkan blend. ?- Gecko

Cigar Leaf Based Blends... C&D Billy Budd vs HU Nyala
Yes, it is gone from Synjecos web site. Looking Mogano up I stumbled across Compton's of Galashiels Cuban Style Cigar Blend which seemed very interesting, but unfortunately mr. Engel who manufactured it have been regulated out of the tobacco blending business.- Gecko
