    Expand my English/Balkan horizons...

    I'm nearly at the end of the tin of GL Pease's Westminster I got several weeks ago from Andy Stewart and it has (with many hours of consideration) become a firm favourite. I love the broad cut of this tobacco, it makes for a much nicer, far more satisfying smoke than the thin, ribbon cut...

    Phone Pipe Etiquette

    I think it's better to explain. Otherwise who knows what they'll think you are doing.

    Bad Flavor in Dunhill Tins

    Oh hang on. Idiot alert. I've got a cold. Maybe that is the cause of the change of flavour I described above. I'll re-evaluate when I'm over it.

    Bad Flavor in Dunhill Tins

    That's funny. I bought a tin of Dunhill Flake yesterday for only the second time ever. The first tin I got, a couple of months ago, smelt amazing (like fresh hay) and was an awesome smoking experience straight out of the tin. The tin I got yesterday smells and tastes completely different. A...

    Gina Roode Smoking a Corn Cob Pipe

    Best pipe babe ever!

    Favorite Summer Blend?

    I have found myself smoking a lot less since it got hot. Nightcap and other English Blends seem too much. Even the Virginia Perique blends I've been enjoying recently (Deluxe Navy Rolls, Elizabethan Mixture, Irish Oak) have got a bit...uurgh. As a nicotine addict I have been left wondering...

    Documentary: Addicted to Pleasure - Tobacco

    Great series. All the episodes are well worth watching. The one about opium, in which the presenter (whose name escapes me) talks about getting a foot rub in a Chinese opium den when he was younger...does make it sound quite appealing.

    Oh How The Times Have Changed!!!

    Amazing. Ha ha ha ha.

    ***What Are You Smoking *** (June 2014)

    Peterson Irish Oak. Stanwell pipe. Totally awesome.

    If you could own any pipe..

    I just want a meerschaum with an amber stem. Then I'll be happy.

    Where do you smoke your pipe?

    Back terrace. Front porch. Outdoor cafes. On the lunt.

    Dunhill Elizabethan Mixture

    andystewart - Yep, I like it a lot, thanks. Dunhill seem to make perfect tobaccos. In the 5 months I've been pipe smoking, I have found each of the Dunhill blends that I've tried faultless and phenomenal. Not trying to be controversial but...I actually prefer Elizabethan Mixture to the Navy...

    Will Smoking a Pipe Help with Quitting Cigarettes?

    I moved from cigarettes to pipes earlier this year. At first I was often either inhaling and/or having to have a cigarette afterwards. Then I discovered Dunhill Royal Yacht (a strong pungent blend). Without inhaling it into my lungs I was able to get a good nicotine hit from just having big...

    Builders' Tea

    I wondered whether I'd imagined it but no, googling it has shown me the news articles on it from 2010. I'm not certain whether it's ALL made in Eastern Europe now, but I presume so. However, it's not where it's made that I have a problem with. My major problem with Twinings is that they have...

    Builders' Tea

    As Yorkshirepipe said, I recommend Yorkshire Tea. For "builder's tea", that is surely the superior choice. It's not a choice I make very often though. None builder's tea wise, I'm a big fan of Clipper's Early Grey. That is a great cup of tea. However on rainy days (as it is in the UK...

    We Need a New Word

    Smoking in a storm? How about WINNING?

    "Aaaaaah............Condor!!!!!"

    I really feel like I'm missing out on some British heritage by not smoking Condor (I haven't even tried it). I bought some St Bruno from Tesco and hated it. Hearing that Condor has an even more extreme floral taste than St Bruno made the idea that I'd ever buy some seem fairly unlikely. I...

    What was your 1st Pipe Smoking Experience?

    My first attempt at pipe smoking was earlier this year; trying to light a cherrywood pipe with some loose pipe tobacco I'd just bought, stood in a windy street in central London. I didn't know what I was doing, but I liked the taste. Still I went straight back to cigarettes. My first proper...

    Cigars Just Aren't The Same

    I have only had a few cigars in my life and was never that impressed (they were always cheap ones). But then a couple of weeks ago I had a reasonably priced short cigar, an Oliva Serie G, that cost £6 (according to an online converter this is around $10?). It was really good...not as good as...
