    Favorite Borderline Aromatics?

    I've been interested in this one for a while. Is it "airy" and "thin" like a lot of other aromatics or does it have a good body and flavour?

    ***What Are You Smoking, March 2025?***

    Smoked HU Janenman Flake today after lunch. I don't know if it's due to my usual Latakia dominated smoking habits or just the fact that I have an inexperienced or brutish palate but I just can't seem to get any flavour from this blend. If I close my eyes, concentrate and sip very slowly then I...

    This looks great but it's a shame they don't ship overseas. Have you enjoyed it?

    What are You Reading Now?

    It's not essential to read before LotR but LotR is a sequel to it. The main plot points of The Hobbit are summarized within LotR. The Hobbit is excellent but if you read it first do keep in mind that it was originally written for a child audience and Tolkien's world and writing style had not yet...

    What are You Reading Now?

    Great to hear you are thinking of reading Tolkien's masterpiece! I would add: if the size of the book is daunting, get hold of it in it's three parts as separate volumes. This can have a surprising impact on how you subconsciously perceive the reading and can be helpful for people who are...

    What are You Reading Now?

    Currently rereading Lord of the Rings. What a rich world Tolkien created. Amazing how many new things you discover, even on subsequent readings.

    The Aroma of the Shop

    Yes, M. Cahill and Son in Limerick City is one of three tobacconists I know of in the Republic. It's a very old shop and worth visiting. I wouldn't get your hopes up on many tobacco purchases in Ireland as the selection is small and very expensive but you may find yourself a nice pipe!

    Pipe Smoking In Bed

    I do this sometimes as I like to smoke while reading and most of my reading is done in bed, before sleep. It's a habit i've had since childhood (the reading in bed, not the smoking). I'm in the middle of doing up the living room, once that's done i'll transition my smoking/reading to a nice...

    The Aroma of the Shop

    A beautiful smell isn't it? I am lucky enough to live not too far from one of the few tobacconists left in the country. I've been in there before looking at pipes, etc and had women come in and stand in the middle of the shop for a moment - "Can I help you?" the shop attendant says. "Oh no, i'm...

    Sometimes I Think Pipe Smoking is dying...

    It's part of why I like forums so much; they have a comfortable nostalgia about them. They really are an example of the internet before everything was streamlined and optimized to be as attention draining as possible.

    Zippo Pipe Lighters...Opinions Please!

    I picked up a pipe insert from my B+M and have a 1990 brass zippo on the way to put it into. I'm fond of Zippos but it's been years since I've owned one.
