    What are You Watching? [2024] Please Rate 1-5

    Since the days of the first lockdown I discovered American television series about murders, and I haven't stopped since. They have become like a drug, but now I know them all by heart (we need new material to investigate, get busy! :ROFLMAO: ). I also understood one thing: if the free...

    UK Weather

    For years I have no longer followed the weather forecasts, I find them irritating, they too are now linked to the audience and have been transformed into advertising containers, so the tones are always necessarily catastrophic: "hot alert!", "cold alert!" , "frost alarm!", "fog alarm!". To...

    Dear Diary, Today I've again Tasted Manure.

    What Cigar Are You Smoking? 2025

    Interesting. Did you humidify it before smoking it? I see the band is broken, how did you do it?

    Samuel Gawith 1792 Flake

    @eljimmy When I smoked the 1792 for the first time, I had been smoking Toscano cigars for at least 20 years, yet the 1792 gave me the nicotine hit. Sometimes it's strange, perhaps it depends on sensitivity to certain ingredients or the type of tobacco processing. For example, I noticed that...

    Samuel Gawith 1792 Flake

    Extraordinary tobacco but too strong for me, I had to exclude it from my preferences; Too bad, I envy those who can handle it.

    Cover Songs That Kick The Original

    In terms of vocal interpretation, I consider these two versions superior to their respective original versions, or at least more engaging.

    What is Castello’s Great Line?

    I thought so too, at first. The 55 was the clumsiest Castello in my eyes, and in any case I saw many shapes that were a bit awkward, unlike Dunhill which instead, with the purity of its lines, fascinated me more. But the Castellos have the charm of gaudy, excessive things, and this is perhaps...

    My First Savinelli

    To stay on humane prices, I would recommend a Ceppo. I don't own any but I've always heard good things about them, then they are beauty and have lots of briar.

    Paronelli Toscano

    https://www.jobpipe.it/ This is a guy (I think he has a tobacco shop) who started making pipes for Toscano years ago. I followed him on YouTube even though the subject didn't interest me in the slightest. However, they were rather cheap pipes. Now he has focused on the creation of titanium...

    Paronelli Toscano

    There are those who madly love Toscano smoked in pipe, pure or in blends. Famous is the Tosco-Virginia (50% Toscano, 50% Capstan or Amphora, etc...). Many even buy Toscano solely to crumble it in the pipe. So, at some point, someone must have thought of making a pipe that would save you the...

    Cover Songs That Kick The Original

    Old, disenchanted, close to his time, with obvious pronunciation difficulties caused by dental problems, but now totally master of his art.

    Show Me Pipe Rack / Storage Options

    Excellent system for always buying new pipes without the wife being able to object: "dear, another pipe fell and broke..."

    D-Day and Modern Folks.

    Historically, the French and the English have never gotten along very well. Then I think that Brexit has annoyed quite a few EU countries. So I think it's more of a spite rather than a matter of simple bureaucracy.

    Billiard Perfection

    But this pipe is not finished! Do you think the stem is fine as it is?

    Tyson vs Paul

    As a child my idol was George Foreman. Boxers who thrilled me: Rocky Marciano, Marvin Hagler, Mike Tyson. Strong boxers but whom I hated for their antipathy: Carlos Monzon, Mohammed Ali, Sugar Ray Leonard.

    First Smoke on the New Porch!

    Beautiful house, congratulations. I work in real estate, so these topics always interest me a lot. I'm fascinated by all this; it seems that where you live, buying land and building a house is very simple. Where I live it would be simply unthinkable: building land is very rare and in any case...
