    What are You Reading Now?

    They are very good indeed. Highly entertaining so far and also a little educational thanks to their well researched historical settings. I'm on "Flash for freedom" now. The third book if you go by publishing order. I will check out "Tom Brown's School Days" as well, can't miss Flashy's origin...

    Refilling Butane Lighters

    I never knew that purging the lighter was a thing. Have had the same IM Corona lighter for 10 years now, never purged, just hold it upside down and top off when needed. No problems so far.

    Full Virginia Flake - Straight Virgina, "The Essence of Pure Flavor" ? Dunhill/Peterson Standard Mixture - Latakia blend. American Delight - Aromatic. Cabbies Mixture - Virgina with perique, peppery. I'm fairly new to pipesmoking myself but I believe the four above would be a decent basis to...

    A Job...

    Done some reading for the kids... so now I find myself being a cabin boy on the ship Hispaniola. I'm on a treasure hunt but I have a bad feeling about some of the ships crew and our peg-legged cook.

    A Job...

    I'm an illustrious Victorian soldier experiencing many 19th-century wars and adventures, rising to high rank in the British Army, acclaimed as a great soldier, while remaining a scoundrel, a liar, a cheat, a thief, a coward—and, oh yes, a toady.

    What are You Reading Now?

    Thanks to Jay (@mawnansmiff) I discovered a glaring hole in my erudition that I'm now rectifying by reading the cream of British literature... The Flashman Papers by George MacDonald Fraser.

    What Sort of Blends Did the Typicall British Gentleman Smoke?

    From what little I've read about spies it's seldom about money as main driving force. It seems to be more about narcissistic, psychopathic and/or mentally unstable personality combined with some political thoughts, mainly driven by a need to feel smarter than their surroundings. Philby seemed to...

    What Sort of Blends Did the Typicall British Gentleman Smoke?

    Thank you all for great information! I now have a more complete and less eronious picture. @condor: I completely agree, I used gentleman as a person of noble birth belonging to high society, Oxbridge educated etc... Plenty of asses among the gentlemen and Philby was a utter dispicable rat.
