    Peter Heinrichs Dark Strong Flake Available at Smokingpipes.com

    Yes - it bears mentioning that this flake has a noticeable anise flavor. I don't think it's overpowering, but then again, I love black licorice, Pernod, and absinthe!

    Attempt To Review This Odd Flake - GH Ennerdale Flake

    I order it in bulk and am careful not to order anything else in bulk at the same time. (I think it's a delightful blend a couple of times per week, but it took my wife a long time to get used to it -- she complained about "that perfume-y tobacco" for months. This is the same woman who doesn't...

    Glad you enjoyed it, macbean. My wife and I are long-time Bob and Ray fans - we're still listening...

    P.G. Wodehouse (And His Pipes)

    Here are excerpts from several interviews given over several years by the estimable author. It is to be wished we could see them in their entirety, but this compilation is interesting nonetheless. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AF2vvdvYlm0

    Harold Wilson Smokes a Pipe

    More from the British Pathe': this is unedited footage from a pipe show in London in the 1970s, complete with an amusing exchange between the Prime Minister and a young reporter about pipes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0Ssw_WQ-y4#t=102

    Please To Be Explaining UPS

    I am awaiting an order from www.smokingpipes.com, sent via UPS. My shipment left Myrtle Beach yesterday, went to Raleigh, thence to Springfield, VA (24 miles from my house). The on-line tracker says it's now in Horsham, PA (180 miles from my house). It is scheduled for delivery in the afternoon...

    Anybody Here Ever Use An Electromatch To Light Their Pipe?

    I've wanted a Ronson Touch-Tip like this one ever since I saw The Maltese Falcon:

    She's still around. Her column appears at least two days each week in the Washington Post. (I know this because my dear wife reads it to me...)

    Another piper down

    The Washington Post also ran this photo of Sens. Thompson and Baker -- you can clearly see Thompson's pipe in hand. [Edited for size.]

    In Praise of Pipe Nails

    Me, too. He's the reason SOTE is now a near-daily smoke for me, and his posts were all worth reading. Speaking of SOTE, I love it and will happily put up with whatever C&D wish to do with their blends as long as they keep making that one.

    Brushing Your Teeth After Smoking..

    I agree. I quit using toothpaste a few years ago after learning that most brands contain glycerin, which may (or may not -- I make no claims) retard the tooth's ability to re-mineralize. That, added to my already well-established objection to fluoride in toothpaste (not to mention municipal...
