    World Cup ... Lethargy?

    Well, I can tell you that in France, yesterday, there was no lethargy ... Champs-Elysées were quite crowded :)

    Canvasback Decoy

    I have one Canvasback Decoy, one Root Head Merganser and one Virginia Ruddy that I bought altogether in 2003. Unfortunately, the stamp on the Canvasback is barely readable (but it ends with 503 but was probably …11 503) The two other blends show 117 503 and 115 503 That's all I can tell, and I'm...

    According tea(s) to tobacco(s)

    Fetibog : Almost any black tea (Darjeeling, Assam, Pu Erh, Hunnan...) and Oolongs are brewed best at 90°-95°C, that is more or less 200°F. But 'down' to 180°F, you have almost all the other ones (including most of green teas) There's only fine Senchas and Gyokuros, some white teas too, that you...

    Jamban, I'll try procelain jars... and I'll make pics of my Yixing teapots. Wu Yi, I love that and currently have one in my rotation (thank you a lot anyway)

    According tea(s) to tobacco(s)

    @jamban : Thank you! I use some clay (Yixing) jars too (as I also have many Yixing tea pots), just not in my office (in my flat). In fact, in my office, the rotation is rather quick... I drink 2-3 liters of tea each day, that is 3 to 4 different teas

    According tea(s) to tobacco(s)

    @Troyniss : "shinobi-cha" is worth trying, particularly in Summer, or even cold water infusion. I certainly wouldn't say it's my prefered brewing method, but it gives a great change of pace. Cheers!

    New FDA Labeling Rules Put on Hold

    sorry no, it's written "do not smoke cherry aromatic blends"

    Pipes available in Rome, Monaco, South of France?

    lasttango : caution! in France you will not find many pipe tobaccos (in the best case some Dunhill, Peterson, some Samuel Gawith plus many pouch aromatics) and the ones you can get are super expensive. For instance, a Dunhill 50g tin is sold 23 euros (US$27).

    Beware...pin holes in tins. Cardboard tins.

    Thank you jpmcwjr ! I wish I had less aged ones :)

    New FDA Labeling Rules Put on Hold

    Here is an example (I swear I chose the 'lightest' one, there are pictures far more horrible) of what we have in France, compared to what it was. Long live the mason jars!

    According tea(s) to tobacco(s)

    @irishearl, certainly, but you also could choose teas that "play" on another ground... like acidity, floral tastes, ... certainly weaker, but aside, not in competition.

    Beware...pin holes in tins. Cardboard tins.

    You frightened me (you did well) and I checked my G.L.Pease tins I found only 3 tins with visible rust blemishes (it will be a surprise for the ones that look 'sane'), and opened them. 1 Stratford 2004 and 2 Piccadilly 2003. In all of them, the tobacco is very dry, forming a block. The...

    According tea(s) to tobacco(s)

    @troyniss : I even have Gyokuro that are best brewed even lower : 50°C /122°F And as you may know, some gyokuro(s) are very good brewed with cold water, and even just covered with ice cubes during all the time it takes them to melt. The Japanese call that method "Shinobi-cha"...

    According tea(s) to tobacco(s)

    @jamnban : I do. I brew my tea the "gonfu method", lots of tea in a small japanese Hohin, and very short repeated infusions. Here is my office "tea corner", and where you can see my Hohins :
