    Hot pipe or won't stay lit, WTH?

    That is probably the worst possible way to fill your pipe up. As you roll your tobacco in, it gets pressed in the centre and loose on the edges. It is supposed to be the other way around, that is, loose at the centre and pressed on the edges. Also, the guy is lighting his pipe at an angle, and...

    So What is More Beautiful than a Pipe?

    I feel very sorry, but I can't have one of these in the UK.

    This is going to hurt your exports.

    Hot pipe or won't stay lit, WTH?

    If you want to have a good smoking experience, trust me, let your tobacco dry a bit after you open the tin. The idea is you let it dry until you pinch it and it does not clump together.

    Euro Down, Savings Available

    Well, I never said I agreed with it. This is idiotic monetary policy at its best. If the market does not provide with that liquidity to buy those bonds, because it is not willing to take any risks, or because of the lack of attractive interest rates, so be it. Deflation is not a bad a thing as...

    Tobacco is cheap enough in the US, so you don't need to buy abroad.

    Euro Down, Savings Available

    Draghi has promised a round of QE worth more than 1 trillion to buy sovereign debt, so I guess this is a good time to go short on the Euro. The idea behind it is to stimulate exports, boost the economy and provide the market with liquidity. The problem here is not to let the chicks out, but when...

    Hot pipe or won't stay lit, WTH?

    If your tobacco is way too moist it will smoke hot in your bowl and you will struggle to keep it lit. And it will bite your tongue too.

    Of course it went down after the Swiss Central Bank pulled out. I could see this coming last week when the news broke out.

    European Pipe Makers

    I know most of the Spanish pipe makers, and they all ask you to buy from the shop or distributor. Do you know Pipes Martin?

    European Pipe Makers

    No, he does not sell online. You need to know him to be able to buy from him. The same goes for other few pipe makers I know of, let´s say for instance Ian Walker (Northern Briars), David Obrer (Bruken Pipes), etc.

    I'd give up smoking for like 2 hours if I could steal a kiss off her.

    European Pipe Makers

    I just purchased this beauty from a guy living in Portugal. He is not a renown pipe maker, but has already produced a few pipes so far worth having. This particular one has been made out of a plateaux block, it is a straight grain as you can see, and flawless as far as I can tell. It has two...

    The Birth of La Bruyère

    I think we should put a book together with all of this info and post it online as a PDF for free. If we succeed on this and it attracts enough people, maybe we could print it off on demand and sell it for a fee.

    This is what I Like

    I remember once (this is when I was living in NY, I was in my early teens), one of my friend said: I pity you all Europeans; it all looks as though your food was totally tasteless and boring. Well, this is simply not true. Most American food, as a matter of fact, has its roots in traditional...

    The Birth of La Bruyère

    The briar pipe is, without question, the most popular pipe ever, and the one whose origin is the least understood. Mind if I offer my views on the origin of this species? As you read, you’ll readily see that it’s all very perplexing and entangled because of a very wide spectrum of views and...
