    Corona Old Boy - Are They Worth It?

    Ive never done an l2 Im fond of the l1 br large. They are overall pretty basic in design which is why you can buy one fifty years old and make it work like new again. Ali express also sells the pipe nozzle fittings. Be careful of their repair kits (gaskets and such). They are not listed...

    Corona Old Boy - Are They Worth It?

    Stuck filter adapter in a Savinelli

    Simple Pleasures

    The simple things in life are the ones that count. Complications are little more than noise and often easily forgotten. My wife and I enjoy breakfast on our terrace watching the birds eat and put on a show. Its a good way to start the day.

    Wet Shave

    Too much trouble for me. I have a short beard. I just take a good quality electric to my neck when I get to it. Id put myself in the hospital if I tried to use a straight razor!

    Issue Smoking Flakes

    The big pieces are prone to holding a lot more moisture, even if the outside doesnt feel very damp.

    Filters, any good?

    Imho many blends simply taste better with a filter. If you like the taste of tar dont use one. Its worth trying and its really no hassle
