    Pipe Shape Help??

    Afternoon gentlemen and gentleladies. What shape would you say this pipe is? I would say a bent brandy or bulldog? I like what's been done on the bottom. It's not a "sitter" but it's nice and flat. Have a looksee

    My New Tobacco and Storage (With Pictures!)

    We can't buy any tobacco product without these disgusting images on. "Smoking kills" says it all does it not. The one that really does offend me is a hyperaemic syringe, filled with presumably heroin, labeled "smoking is addictive"! I wholeheartedly resent this warning system and have yet to...

    List Your Other Hobbies / Interests

    Oh blimey. At the moment I'm more into my baritone which is a forward facing Degg (a discontinued marching instrument) with a mouthpiece that I've had for 25 years. It has no markings but I "borrowed" it from music class when I was at school and never returned it! It's slightly smaller than...

    My First "Lads Holiday"

    Brdavidson. Taking your boy most certainly will be one of those magic moments. I took my boy last summer, he was four and he absoloutly loved it! I have a photo of him on my cabinet next to me now holding his prize, a little 8oz roach, and I smile every time I look at it. I'd say fishing is one...

    Corncobs are Under Rated

The other 5 i own i use for when a new order of tobacco...

    English Without Spice?

    Thanks gents for all your replays. It sounds like in a nutshell it's the perique. As it was squadron leader and germain 1820 that were the culprits but not a problem. I like it. Just not all the time. I've only been smoking 7 weeks but I'm pretty dedicated lol up to 10 bowls a day. Kris I...

    Four weeks ago I bought a tin of Peterson's 3p's. not knowing what to do with a plug I done ,y usual research on the net and asked questions on here. I just could not get to grips with it!

    Drum Corps or Marching Bands.

    I played most brass instruments when I marched. My favourite being mellophone which is a forward facing French horn. I'm now teaching my four year old trumpet. He loves it and I hope when he's old enough he'll join a band and enjoy the friendships, healthy competition, travel and fun that I did!

    English Without Spice?

    Afternoon chaps. I'm not a lover at all of aromatics. I just don't get on with them. It seems though, all the blends I buy are spicy. Now I don't mind this but I don't particularly want that pepper tang every smoke. Bearing in mind I'm ltd to uk purchases, which non aro blends could you...

    Well so far in my 34 years, circumstance and money have prevented me from having a lads holiday. This corner of the earth (uk) young men travel to places like Ibiza, Magaloof or Amsterdam for mad clubbing and fornication! Well I'm beyond the thwump thwump thwump of a nightclub and the only thing...
