Why are some pipes “expensive”?
I think the dynamics of social media distort market prices. Information circulates so quickly that buyers' interests are shaped instantly, and prices adjust accordingly.

At certain times, sellers and buyers can agree on an exorbitant price; sometimes bubbles are created. In all the hobby sectors, we are emerging from the bubble created by the pandemic.- Alejo R.

And that's why we shouldn't worry. It used to take a lot of money to get a truly good product; not anymore. I'm not bothered by someone spending $10,000 on a Rolex when my $500 Seiko makes me happy. To each their own, and everyone's happy.- Alejo R.

Why are some pipes “expensive”?
You're approaching the comparison incorrectly. It's not about comparing one pipe to another individually. If it were, you could compare the smartest dog to the dumbest human and conclude that there isn't that much of an intelligence difference between the two species. Brands like Castello...- Alejo R.

Connections Between Pipe Tobacco and Elevated PSA
Don't mess around with a high PSA level, go to the doctor. I had all the tests done two months ago, and the doctor told me to avoid coffee, cola, tobacco, cycling, and any kind of sex for several days before the blood draw.- Alejo R.

Why are estate pipes ok?
Yes, well, maybe that straw man fallacy tactic works for you elsewhere, but not with me. We're not talking about needles or flop houses. We're talking about pipes, and the truth is that the germs, bacteria, and viruses that live in the human mouth have a pretty short lifespan outside the mouth...- Alejo R.

The company is called Bruken. The pipes are from a charity run ordered by a group of Spanish smokers as a form of support. They're the only ones they've made since the storm. In the video, they explain that they make a living selling the briar. The entire city was flooded above the ground floor. -

Colognes For Past.
Aftershaves contain, in addition to perfume, skin-care and moisturizing ingredients. They have less fragrance. Eau de Cologne, Eau de Toilette, and Eau de Parfum are perfume plus alcohol in different proportions. The most concentrated is usually the perfume, which has around 33% perfume.- Alejo R.
