    Opening A Tin? Show Us!

    Some speak highly of this. Others, it's "Visions Of Syphilis". Sounds like a Marmite blend.

    I'm now convinced that the "-" means "if you".

    Favorite Rum Blends?

    Not forgetting Gawith & Hoggarth Jamaican/Rum Flake, depending which side of the Atlantic. A majestic smoke.

    A Manx comet.

    TAD Acquisitions 2025

    Reinforcements I'm still not dead after 55 years of smoking. Is it the quitting that kills? Is that what it really means?

    3I/ATLAS Generating Own Light?

    We have to take Avi Loeb with a grain of salt, but he is the one asking interesting questions. The mainstream scientists are handwaving like mad, the data keep being "awkward", let's say. Popcorn time.

    What are You Reading Now?

    Whenever I read the thread title, it's always in the voice of an Oxford United F.C. supporter berating an unfaithful former fellow, "What? Are you Reading now?". Be that as it may, this afternoon I have sat in the sunshine smoking successive bowls of Cabbies and reading Marcus Aurelius'...

    Smoking one Pipe Until it’s Plum Worn out.

    Used to. Unbranded "Made in London" briars, the last of those was quite small and handy, but one day I was poking the draught hole clear and hit the other side of the chamber and punctured the bowl. Then I got really classy and elevated to a Dr Plumb, eventually damaged the stem so badly it was...

    Opening A Tin? Show Us!

    Yes. It's done from bulk either by Kopp or Wilson's, as far as I can work out.

    Has Anybody Seen My Pack of Brigham Filters?

    I dropped a pipe knife outside, while on brick paving. Nothing new, I look down, I see it, I pick it up. Except, not this time. It's not there. I move a yard backward, nope. Go three yards forward, look back. Nope. Search through all of the meagre growth of campanula at the sides, nope. It's...

    Pipes for putting around

    If you're in the UK, get a Sarome for work breaks. Not too big, modest chambers, good smokers and under £40 last I looked.

    Opening A Tin? Show Us!

    Currently puffing a pensioners' mix of raggedy ends; Germain's RDF, C&D Sunday Picnic, SG Balkan Flake and a pinch of Celtic Talisman snuff thrown in for good measure. Surprisingly tasty. Next up, another transatlantic new-to-me blend.

    Have I Damaged My Pipe In My Early Attempts At Pipe Smoking?

    Ruined, dear boy. It's a codger pipe now, stop worrying, smoke it to destruction and enjoy!
