    Opening A Tin? Show Us!

    Oh my dear old thing. Sweet of you to say so! lol (blowers reference there, which you’ll get if you follow English cricket). Like @jaingorenard i too, thoroughly enjoyed the day! Snuff was sniffed, bowls were smoked, pipes both old & new were fondled & admired. Foaming pints of English bitter...

    Show us your Ugliest Pipes!

    I can't post a photo of an ugly pipe, as I don't own any. I have in the past though. Cobs! Ghastly things..... They really are.

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

    St. Bruno, Peterson, Cider and Sunshine, what's not to like! Got offered this pipe only yesterday, from @jaingorenard . Despite a recent 'downsize' his gracious offer of a new pipe was hastily and gratefully received. Cheers Joe! 👍

    What Are You Drinking? April 2024

    8.4%? Probably down to the fact that I've been brought up on lower 'abv' beers, but I always find the higher percentage ruins the taste of the beer for me. Belgian beers are the same, despite being some of the world's most respected beers, one or two is enough for me. Too rich.

    What Are You Drinking? April 2024

    Never come across that one. Better than the Famous Grouse would you say? £27 to me for a blended whisky, needs to be better than the Grouse, otherwise I don't bother.

    What Are You Drinking? April 2024

    Sunny day today, which led to a couple of cheeky ciders. Henry Westons vintage cider (6.5%).

    I'm Bloody Livid: Amazon Refuse to Sell Me a Set of Kitchen Knives.

    That’s where you’re going wrong then! You want the bureaucratical paperwork, you’ll have to come to the UK & embrace the bureaucracy! lol

    Slow Server Response

    Intermittent here in 🇬🇧. Could be a Pennsylvanian thing I suppose, could be Chinese or Russian interference. Either way, we’re not missing much. Forum chat is boring & predictable enough, no need to rush it.

    I Just Got a Court Summons......For Jury Duty.

    In some cases you'll find a life sentence can mean as little as 12-15 years! Bring back hanging... & the birch!

    J.R.R Tolkien ...

    Tolkien was in Oxford. For the depravity you seek, you'd find it at the other place (Cambridge) or (God forbid) France!!

    J.R.R Tolkien ...

    Probably down the 'baby & bird' having a pint, scrolling down his iPhone, checking out the forums and shaking his head at all the grown men's unhealthy and incessant adulation of midgets with big feet!

    Show Off Your Petersons Here!

    Nice of you to say so, cheers! 👍

    Lester Young Repeats as USA Slow Smoking Champion!

    Geezer on the left looks like Jimmy Cagney? Doubtful though that there was any intimidation during the contest so congratulations to les! Is there a 'record holder' so to speak, within worldwide competitions?

    J.R.R Tolkien ...

    Yes, I've noticed that. Cob afficionados & aromatic smokers likewise. Lacking a sense of humour is also a trait.

    J.R.R Tolkien ...

    Bit up yourself aren't you? If you were referring to me, how do you know I can't make tea? Whilst not an academic (have to work for a living unfortunately) I happen to make the best tea in my family! You should bear in mind that this is only a pipe forum, if a certain subject gets on someone's...

    Audiobook for a change.

    Premier, Championship, League One, etc.+ Euros and Olympics

    Highlight of the weekend was that goal by Palace! Apart from that all quite uninspiring, boring & predictable.🤦‍♂️
