    New Additions to my Smoking Nook

    Hey Snookie…..you are a man after my own heart mate. Looks like you have a nice little smoking room there. My Dad bought this rocking chair (built in Yugoslavia and spent its life in Canada…..don't know how it came to NZ…..someone must have moved here). A rocking chair is the best...

    Do different pipe shapes work well, or not so well, with different tobaccos?

    Hey Burleybreath……I notice that your Castello has a small chip missing off the stem…..lucky for you I specialise in repairing Castellos…..if you ship it to me I can repair it, free of charge because you are such a nice fellow. It will only take me say……45 years to get it fixed and shipped back...

    Pipe Tobacco is no Good Anymore/Better Than Before

    Sorry guys……a little bit off topic…..man your pic always cracks me up. I know its probably not you, but I’m going to think it is, even if you say its not, as thinking of that fellow walking down the street with a pipe just cracks me up and brings a bit of joy to my day! OK……back to the thread...

    Trial of Newbie Mantra.

    I learnt a good lesson a while ago while building a glasshouse. I bought around 400 glass panes from someone who didn't want their one, and I had to cut one edge off most of the panes for them to fit my one. I learned the basics about cutting glass (scribing and snapping it). After those...

    I wonder why tamping helps.

    Hey, I have definitely not mastered tamping....when I do, it nearly all ways goes out. And, yes, I'm tamping really lightly! I probably just need to give it more thought.

    Gurgling v Blowing

    Ok I have had a beer and a pipe and so I now have one statement and two questions….. Your Dad sounds like a top fellow. Im guessing he gave you all sorts of helpful tidbits as you matured. I remember asking my Dad for advice on girls one day, and what I got from him gave me good information and...

    In Support of B&M's

    I supported our local B&M this Christmas....well my wife did (she surprised me saying she wold buy me a tin for Christmas)......it only cost US$109 for a tin of Peterson! Granted, the B&M is not a rip off....it's the tax that's the issue. I'm happy enough to buy the odd bit off them, in...

    Tea and a Pipe

    Hey mate that's fixable......get yourself a teapot and a tea cosy. Those tea costs do a darn good job. And get yourself possibly a smaller mug. My tea usually lasts for an hour or so with a bowl.

    Tea and a Pipe

    I too, drink a lot of tea. Several pots a day usually. Dilmah is my choice and I find tea goes well with any blend……tea goes well with just about anything really….even drinking more tea!
