    America's Cup 2024: who likes it?

    I mean the formula of the last few years with the flying boats. The beginning of the end, in my opinion, was the arrival of the planing boats, the catamarans, which took away all the poetry of this beautiful competition. I would really like to go back to the 100-foot monohulls...

    This Seller Wished Upon The Right Star (Disney Pipe Auction)

    These are the only pipes that are worth counterfeiting, not Dunhills.

    How do you Hold your Pipe?

    Caribbean cigars, especially the larger calibers, are necessarily smoked in the center, but the Toscano, having a thin head, is held to the side; but not like Clint who pushed it to the far corner of his mouth, as far away from the tongue as possible :ROFLMAO:

    How do you Hold your Pipe?

    I have a friend who smokes holding it in the center. But in reality he always holds it in his hand and puts it in his mouth only when puffing. I tried it too and in fact it seems to me that this way you perceive the flavors better. It's a gourmet way of smoking, not very practical in reality...

    How do you Hold your Pipe?

    @cosmicfolklore I agree. I also alternate left and right to rest my teeth and tongue. In the center only during lighting, it is an otherwise unnatural position. Cigar, however, always and only on the right, I don't know why but I can't smoke it on the left.

    Learned a Valuable Lesson Today

    It's not necessarily saliva, it could also just be the moisture from the tobacco condensing. It depends on whether you keep the pipe in your mouth constantly or not.

    VaPer Lovers, Please List your Top Five

    I'll stop at one because I've only tried the Samuel Gawith Saint James Flake, excellent (obviously), but I'm sensitive to perique and found it too peppery; so I diluted it with 50% pure Virginia (I don't remember which one) and found it much more manageable for me. I'll continue the list with...

    Show Off Your Foursquare / Panel Billiard Pipes!

    I'll tell you my opinion: the panel was born (like other shapes, especially free hand) in an attempt to avoid the imperfections of the briar. Just as you cut off a slice of a rotten apple (and you don't throw away the whole apple), so someone, one day, after having made a Billiard, noticed an...

    Show Off Your Foursquare / Panel Billiard Pipes!

    I always thought they were for a better tenon/mortise fit. I must have read something about it somewhere, but I don't remember.

    SSJONES Life Update

    There are poisons in granules that ants accumulate inside the anthill and quickly exterminate the entire colony. With European ants they work great (tried several times); I don't know if the American ones are more resistant.

    Mac Baren HH blends

    I'll try it, I also found that bitter note in Pure Virginia (smoked young) a bit annoying.

    Strong Virginias

    Peterson Nightcap G. L. Pease Gaslight. I don't know if it's the Virginias' fault, but these two are pretty tough.

    Show Us Your Most Comfortable Pipe!

    I smoke with the pipe mostly in my mouth; the most comfortable to hold is obviously not the most comfortable in the mouth. However this one.

    Why Did I Start Smoking a Pipe?

    Women... if you smoke they tell you to stop, if you don't smoke they tell you to start...

    Opening A Tin? Show Us!

    Best EM I've ever smoked (I haven't smoked many though). Obviously they don't make it anymore.

    First Tooth Ache

    But dentists are so expensive in the United States? Here we are at these prices: - filling € 150 - extraction € 150 - root canal € 500 Better to spend them on tobacco, agreed, but they don't seem like figures to compromise a family budget.
