    Need Help Dating Charatan Pipe.

    Modern production. I’ll guess yours is from the 90’s-00’s. The finish on your pipe is identical to a BC I used to have. Current Trafalgar pipes retail around the £70-£80 mark.

    Woke Boxing

    At the age of 52 I now realise that life is less stressful if you accept the things you cannot change. I’ve therefore decided to embrace the Woke mentality. If organisations such as the BBC & the IOC say something is fair & just, then so be it. Woke boxing………..I think it’s great.

    St. Bruno No More At Sainsburys?

    No, Brexit hasn't affected the importation of St. Bruno & other otc's. It's still widely available at a number of shops and online of course. Sainsbury is like your Wallmart or 7-11 I imagine, one in every town and handy when you're out of baccy (or it was). Like Bob and smudger have said...

    St. Bruno No More At Sainsburys?

    Question for the UK brethren. Popped into my local branch of sainsbury the other day, after grabbing a few of life's necessities, corned beef, carrots and a bottle of scotch etc I headed towards the baccy counter for my usual pouch of Bruno.......... No Bruno!! According to the lady behind the...

    Story Behind the Names of Pipe Shapes?

    No, you've got that wrong mush. Surprising, as you're from South London. Lovat is pronounced Love It! Innit though. Here in the shire of course, the correct pronunciation is 'Colonel Fraser'. What's in a name? Forever changing with the times and pipe makers themselves. FWIW Zulu - oval...

    European Championships 2024 ⚽🏆

    Because the coach has got them all confused and clueless in what they are supposed to be doing as a team in the first place! Woeful performance yet again.

    Scandinavian Tobacco Group A/S to acquire Mac Baren Tobacco Company A/S

    Meet the new boss, same as the old boss! From one danish bean counter to another, with the blends that survive I doubt there’ll be much change. If St. Bruno survives there might even be an improvement!

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

    Grasmere in a Tilshead. Parrot is a Norwegian Blue. Blasted thing must be pining for the fjords as it hasn't moved since I bought it!

    Your Own "Best" Tobacco

    As the world implodes, ten years on a deserted island sounds quite appealing & with a ten year supply of St. Bruno, totally doable! Where do I sign up??
