    ***What Are You Smoking, August 2024?***

    Eh.... wallpaper was a must in the 1960s/70s.

    America's Cup 2024: who likes it?

    Yes, of course I was referring to the final victory, not the individual regatta. Anyway, today we saw that in these conditions (little wind and somewhat rough sea) Team New Zealand doesn't look very fast.

    Show Us Your Radice Pipes

    The translator combined with artificial intelligence sometimes does more damage than hail. So it is more literal: "Asking is lawful, answering is courtesy."

    Show Us Your Radice Pipes

    "asking is fair, answering is courtesy". They could and should have given you an answer, even if negative.

    My Smoking Desk Setup

    Congratulations, everything is beautiful and well organized, only I'm not convinced by the two plates, they clash with the rest of the equipment, in my opinion you can do better there. First of all the filters in sight are not nice to look at, so I would put them closed in a small box...

    Cob Hazing.

    At these prices you can easily find briar basket pipes. If we then go for second-hand, a whole new world opens up: one of my latest purchases on the second-hand market was a Charatan Belvedere extra large, a beautiful pipe that smokes divinely; paid €40, it quickly jumped into the small group of...

    Salivating When Clenching

    I have the same problem as you, but with a little attention, I can keep the pipe in my mouth for about a minute or a little less, without problems; then I take it in my hand - also to rest my teeth - I swallow and put it back in my mouth.

    America's Cup 2024: who likes it?

    The feeling - if the morning is a good indicator of the day - is that it will be tough for anyone to beat Team New Zealand.

    America's Cup 2024: who likes it?

    Today in the first race American Magic clearly beat Alinghi; Team New Zealand massacred Britannia and in the third race Luna Rossa beat American Magic by virtue of a better start, but the two boats seemed close in terms of performance. The last race (New Zealand vs Orient Express, the French...

    America's Cup 2024: who likes it?

    I remember that thrilling final very well (Australia lost the first few lines and seemed on the verge of losing the trophy but then won all the others). I was rooting for you; nothing personal against the Americans, but I wanted to see someone else win, even if only for sensationalism. But I...

    America's Cup 2024: who likes it?

    Yes, of course I was talking about match races. It is true that in recent years there have also been fleet races in the qualifications, I was not considering them. Today however (they were racing in Barcelona) there were only match races.

    America's Cup 2024: who likes it?

    True, but in this type of race the boats are marked closely; if you start better (very important to start in front) and have a boat even just a little faster you have already won the race, the boat behind can no longer overtake you, you block its path, it tacks and you do the same, you control...

    America's Cup 2024: who likes it?

    I am not an expert in sailing or even this new type of boat; let's say that the human component still has its weight, you still have to maneuver, mark the opponent, etc.... Then the boats do not all have the same performance. Today I saw Team New Zealand and Alinghi (Swiss team) and they seemed...

    How do you Hold your Pipe?

    It's a technique (But it also works by holding the pipe in an off-center position) that I've seen used by some old pipe smokers (here I remember Fishbanjo). I tried it out of curiosity, but the pipe felt very unstable, as if it were going to fall at any moment, so I gave up. Of course, this way...

    America's Cup 2024: who likes it?

    My father was a great sailing enthusiast (a passion he tried in vain to pass on to his children); with his nutshell he toured the Mediterranean far and wide. I don't think he would have liked this America's Cup.
