    Why do You Smoke a Pipe?

    I like it. That's good enough reason for me.

    Yet Another Scam

    The ones I'm getting are weird. Regular emails addressed with my first name asking to meet or just a greeting. No sexual hints or anything. Some are just: "[my name], hello!". Or: "[my name] can you meet me near xxx" I'm wondering what's the goal here? What are they trying to gain from this...

    Yet Another Scam

    I've been getting emails from foreign "women" asking to meet up or asking my location (one even named a city close to me). Weird thing. Obviously I never replied.

    ?Burnt My Tongue with Zippo

    Are you sure it's genuine Zippo lighter fluid? I can't even taste Zippo fuel and it's the only lighter I use for pipes. Perhaps you are allergic to some ingredient used in it?

    Getting Bored

    Perhaps take a break? I don't smoke at all during winters. Gives me something to look forward to when spring comes.

    What's the Minimal Number of Pipes for Good Smoking

    I have five briars in regular rotation and unless one breaks or something I feel that's good enough. Enough to dedicate a pipe to a blend type but all still get smoked regularly. I don't care about owning stuff just for the sake of owning. Not a collector.

    Is There a Difference Between Using 70% and 99% Alcohol to Clean Briar Pipes?

    I've been just using whisky or rum to clean draft holes (can't get Everclear around here) once or twice a year. Don't know if it's right or wrong?‍♂️

    What Cigar are You Smoking?

    Romeo y Julieta Petit Corona with light roasted french press coffee black. I was surprised how well cigar and coffee paired (works well as a laxative too). This was after breakfast "morning" coffee and cigar at 1:30 pm.

    Latakia Doesn't Age Well ... Or Does It?

    My experience with aged latakia is very limited but Nightcap is definitely better after five years in a jar than it was when fresh.

    What Cigar are You Smoking?

    Casa Turrent serie 1901 robusto. Fragrant with hefty nicotine kick.

    ***What Are You Smoking, June 2021?***

    G&H Top Black Cherry. Very full cherry flavor. Comes out especially nice when retrohaled. Mouthfeel is quite funny as it leaves a bit of a coating in mouth.

    ***What Are You Smoking, June 2021?***

    It's Midsummer celebration here is Finland. I did something unusual and smoked two bowls of Half and Half today. Both thoroughly enjoyed. The second one was pipe smoking perfection and reminded me why I enjoy this so much.

    Camacho Connecticut. Very good cigar. One of my favorites. One word to describe this one would be: smooth.

    Tobacco Storage Question

    Damn, my apartment has been 29 celsius during this heat. Hopefully the tins are still good. Oh well, such is poor man's life.

    ***What Are You Smoking, June 2021?***

    Hal O The Wynd by Rattray. It's way too hot for me. I really wish the weather would cool down soon, I hate hot weather. Doesn't help that I don't have AC except for a small portable unit in my bedroom so I can sleep.

    Partagas Short. Ended up on a jetski ride so it burned a bit quicker than anticipated.

    ***What Are You Smoking, June 2021?***

    Enjoyed Half n Half. It's too sunny for my liking but it was endurable sitting under a shadow of a big tree.

    ***What Are You Smoking, June 2021?***

    Just smoked 50/50 mix of G&H Rum Maple and Mac Baren Harmony. G&H gives Harmony much needed strength and reduces bite. Harmony on it's own wasn't my favorite.
