    Does The World Really Need Another Twitter?

    Was tempted to agree, but... Musk, besides Twitter, does also something real and useful: spaceflights, electric cars etc. Zuck does nothing else except trying to control human minds, he's an absolute parasite. I vote for Musk to be spared :)

    Hi

    Sorry / afederiniz for straying a bit off topic but I feel so sad hearing Americans underappreciating their historical heritage. Having worked in the past in the sphere of culture, history, monuments preservation and museums, I travelled USA extensively, visiting much of its historical monuments...

    Pesse Canoe?

    And here is the recipe for the original Yayladag (the Latakia flake) blend, which the tobaccorewievers raved about: https://fairtradetobacco.com/threads/yayladag-pipe-tobacco-blend-and-recipe.1632/post-22876 Seems to be consistent with the Pesse Canoe descriptions, except that PC has two...

    Pesse Canoe?

    I would have posted the link in my first posting, if it was a sort of online store. Unfortunately, it's not: my order is sent to someone who's packing a shipment of other goods for me, he'll buy the tobacco in person from the producer. In Turkey, those blends aren't sold under the Pesse Canoe...

    Pesse Canoe?

    When searching for the blends, I've seen them being offered from some web outlets in Russia. To me, it's easier to procure them from Turkey, but if I hadn't contacts at where the mixtures are produced, I'd give the Russian option a thought. (Although, there can be troubles with processing credit...

    Pesse Canoe?

    Forgot to add, that Yayladağ is actually a locality on the same Antiochian shore where the Syrian city of Latakia lays, and that for centuries that area had been a part of Ottoman Syria, not of Turkey proper. So the "unsmoked Syrian Latakia" rumour seems to exist not without a reason. Very...

    Pesse Canoe?

    From what I understand, those blends (coded in Turkey as TPT and YD) are rebranded reiterations of the two discontinued mixtures famous in Turkey since the 1930s: Tūrk Pipo Tütünü (the Oriental flake, TPT) and Yayladağ (the Latakia flake, YD). Both those original blends got raving reviews on...

    Pipe Packing per Per Georg Jensen

    Per: "Why so few women take up pipe smoking? Because when you're lighting your pipe you must concentrate so you can not talk". Wow. I'm glad he still walks free. Feminazis have ruined careers for much less serious crimes against political correctness.

    The Robotic Future

    40 or 30 years ago we phantacized of the future robotized world as of the place where robots serve the people and expand immensely the abilities of the man. The real life experience of the last 10 or 5 years convinces that the robots are employed rather for controlling the people and expand...

    Things That Suck.

    This too. What beers you didn't manage to consume in time, you may distill them into a stronger booze.

    Things That Suck.

    Simple. Take up homebrewing. You'll forget what running out of beer is all about. Forever. You'll learn however what it's like to have a surplus of perfect beer much of which will probably go past its best before date before you even come to drink it up. Here, about 350 bottles of some 25...

    Eye of Newt, Tongue of Cat: Medicinal Cures Elizabethan Style.

    I think the abundance of those funny penile ailments had much to do with the cold weapon proliferance at the time. F. ex., "holes in the pecker" is a rare condition now, but it was much easier to get when many men regularly engaged in sword fights. No idea on dearsuit, unfortunately...

    The AeroPress - is it a gimmick?

    Crushed a glass cup when squeezing this thingy, just by the pure luck avoided arterial bleeding and severing hands at wrist joints. Tossed it and returned to my tried-and-true Cafetière aka French Press. Go home aeropress, you're drunk. Be careful with this gizmo ⚠️ It may be sturdy enough but...

    Eye of Newt, Tongue of Cat: Medicinal Cures Elizabethan Style.

    All of Africa and half of Asia are still "curing" themselves with the "medicines" exactly like that. In China, there are even respectable official TCM institutions issuing very similar "scientific treatises". Superstition and ignorance is the natural state of the mankind, and scientific...

    Best with Coffee...

    Previously I used to drink my coffee mostly with Burleys but then I discovered it goes even better with good Black Cavendish. So now it's predominantly Gawith Hoggarth Kentucky Nougat that accompanies my Jawa.

    Stem Length

    With my churchwardens, I don't feel that longer stems cool the smoke in any way. What I feel however is that the smoke I draw from a churchwarden comes noticeably diluted with air. The longer stem makes room for 2 or 3 times more air inside than a regular-length stem does, so it's not unlike...

    Missouri Meerschaum Shank Crack

    That could be. I also think it might be because of a slightly different (cheaper?) wood the non-standard shanks are made of.

    Missouri Meerschaum Shank Crack

    This has never happened to my "standard design" corncobs like Diplomat, General, Washington etc. but shank cracking did weirdly occur on all my fancy Cobbit Collection pipes. I think it's because the Cobbit line was crafted with its primary purpose in mind: to be sold mostly as hipster toys or...

    Bleeding A Peterson Lighter

    I bleed my Peterson lighter with a tip of a thick wooden match. I feel uncomfortable to mess with the fragile nipple with any metal tool. The match works perfectly for this purpose.
