    Pre Budget Haul

    I prefer ready rubbed to flakes full stop as I'm lazy. The nearest to not ready rubbed I smoke is Cabbies

    Cafe Dreams...

    Let's be frank, I'm a pipe man. I have up cigarettes years ago and I don't smoke cigars. Well not really. When I was a kid I had a Saturday job helping the milkman on his rounds. He'd sit in the milk float while I dashed about delivering the milk. He smoked Henri Winterman's Cafe Creme...

    Pre Budget Haul

    I decided to stock up a little before the UK government slaps more tax on smoking at the autumn budget.....

    Your Favorite Underrated Blend

    Hard hat on.... I'm currently really enjoying a bowlful of Clan. Great aroma, easy smoking, zero relighting so far, great flavour. Not sure why it gets such a bad rap?

    The Break-Ins Continue - New Falcon Bowl

    Not to hijack but here's my own meer Falcon, solid carved from Turkey. It's my dedicated English type blends pipe and I'm smoking it now with some Cabbie's Mixture

    The Break-Ins Continue - New Falcon Bowl

    Can't beat a Falcon. Glad you're enjoying yourself and the meerschaum lined bowl looks a cracker.

    What are You Listening To? September '24

    Given the new album from David Gilmore a spin. It's ok but nothing special. Pink Floyd are one of favourite bands and whilst I like their solo stuff Roger is still better IMO. Also listening to Ian Drury whilst decorating.....

    Well my little experiment seems to be working for me. I've paired my pipes and cleaned them out so they are now going to be for my fixed tobaccos. St Bruno tasted a bit better on the second and third bowls so might have had some ghosting or flavour bleed over before. Basically I've organised it...

    Smoke King Website Issues

    Sure is and I've kinda been thinking the same thing regards both tobacco tax and the way brands and blends are either changing or being discontinued as sales fall. Higher taxes and stricter 'policies' on purchasing will further damage sales I think and then the higher the likelihood of more...

    Well, needing those bits I relented and tried 'trusting the method' and promptly got charged £4.95 for postage despite my premier membership. Email sent. Not impressed.....😐

    Smoke King Website Issues

    Exactly. I got sent a code for the postage but it didn't work and after about six goes today I've given up. I'll keep my money in my pocket and go elsewhere for a bit. Daft buggers really cannot see what's wrong. 🤷🏼‍♂️

    Smoke King Website Issues

    Sure, but not being able to access previous orders and /or wishlist before shopping seems a little self defeating... I also find it a bit unreal that an update or fix should take this long in this day and age. Personally given the tight margins folks are operating on in what is, lets face it, a...

    Smoke King Website Issues

    Just a heads up to UK users of Smoke King online shop. They did an update to their website in July that seems to have broken their shop somewhat as you cannot log into your account until you try and buy something, which is pretty useless. I have been advised that you can access your account...

    Exactly, sorry, should've explained better

    That's a comprehensive response, thank you! I like simplicity and avoid clutter. Having tried a lot of blends, and this is not a cheap hobby, I've quickly realised that I do not have a delicate palate and little refinement for it. It's interesting reading the different views though and I...
