    Scandinavian Tobacco Group A/S to acquire Mac Baren Tobacco Company A/S

    Yes, but since you are among the best history detectives, that I know of, I am sure you know that STG is only a part of a much larger and older Danish tobacco dynasty, with indeed diversified interests and huge yearly philanthropic donations😊

    STG: Sales Flat, Profits Down

    Tobacco and oil may, most probably, not be among the most 'easy profitable' businesses these days and especially in the future.. But some of the original and present STG owners, such as the Augustinus family (and foundation), who, with present name STG, have been in the tobacco business since...

    Small is Beautiful ?

    That's a new one to me, regarding small Danish and German pipes 😊 Are those of yours from WW2? When pipe smoking was still popular here and pipe tobacco was still relatively cheap, most Danes usually smoked normal sized pipes (like normal in England). The total pipe tobacco market in Germany...

    Favorite Coffee Place

    These are now good times for coffee lovers here in most of Denmark (and elsewhere). And for beer lovers! Better than ever. A lot of good coffee shops. A lot of good competition. Customers are now more picky and willing to pay. Even bakeries serve better coffee now. Both independent and chains...

    I am an absolute Anglophile stereo, pipe and tobacco type😄

    A Hans Hartmann Lovat

    Nice pipe, although maybe a little short for such a big bowl? IMO. Or maybe just the usual somewhat fisheyed camera? I also love sitters. Such as Stanwell 17 and several older English billard/lovat designs. I frequented Pibe Dan in the beg/mid 80s, when I was a student in Copenhagen. Bought...

    Pipe Chain Smokers?

    I am a more like a broken chain pipe smoker. I am suffering from severe pipus interruptus. From having to take the bus to work and work several hours under a smoking ban, to having to go inside the now smoke free house, when my wife is yelling "dinner is ready"!:sher:

    Three Nuns

    The present Three Nuns smells like the old, I used to smoke regularly in the 80/90ies. I guess most of the unique smell/taste is mostly from the original recipe used for casing/flavouring, which today is licensed to or bought by Harald Halberg (who also make the more heavily cased and sweetened...

    Any Advice on Electric Lawnmowers

    We have been very satisfied with our electric battery driven Bosch for about 15 years. The batteries still work and we have lots of grass on a hilly ground. Expensive to purchase but with less noise, pollution and maintenance.

    What’s the Weirdest Place You’ve Smoked a Bowl?

    I don't remember having smoked a bowl in weird places. But I remember having smoked in normal places. Such as living rooms and offices. That's weird!

    Pocket Cameras

    I haven't had so many cameras since I bought my first SLR with several lenses in 1978, when still a schoolboy and learning about photography, processing etc. in primary school. But I quickly realized that I too often didn't want to bring my big camera gear with me, so I downsized to a Rollei 35...

    Birth Year Pipe

    Agree. It just drives up prices on old Dunhills, so that we who appreciate such old britwood, but care more about the pipes themselves, than about the exact years they were made, suffer😄

    A Bar Exam for Pipesmokers

    To educate young beginners in the art of smoking a pipe: Q: You are tired of your mum yelling at you, when smoking in the house and therefore need a new pair of headphones. Which headphones would you choose?: A. or B.

    Why are French Pipes Cheap?

    I love my few London made pipes from the sixties. They were like NOS, when I bought them. Which French pipes (older or new) can compete with the adequately thin bits, the buttons and the therefore very comfortable ebonite stem work of these? I am thinking of pipes such as Barling and Dunhill. I...

    Cellaring: How Much is Too Much?

    You are right. I should have used 'most' instead of 'we'. Like in: 'most pipe smokers love dunhill pipes!'😄

    Cellaring: How Much is Too Much?

    I could never forget my pipe in the morning. Or during the day. But these days, you know, I am told so, when eg my wife has prepared a nice breakfast, lunch or dinner and when my boss wants me to do some work. All day! We pipe smokers face so many disturbances during the day, that I...

    Cellaring: How Much is Too Much?

    For many years, I enjoyed my weekly walk to the local tobacconist, to buy another 50g tin, just before or after having emptied my 'cellar'. You never know when you decide to quit someday and I tend to drink, eat or smoke too much, when I have more than sufficient beer, chocolate or tobacco in...

    Big Dollar Pipes vs Lower Priced Pipes

    I remember, years ago, when I bought a 2nd hand high end, superb sounding, amplifier, most friends and family didn't notice. But one of my friends did and his first reaction when he borrowed it and we turned it on at his home was: 'shit, this is too good. I don't hope this is going to sound...
