    Show Us Your Moretti Pipes

    I was so busy the last two months that I haven't smoked my Moretti yet. However, the weather is getting warmer and I'm resuming my long walks. So an inaugural smoke is due soon.

    Peterson lighter is pretty darn good!

    Just a shout out to Peterson's CS. I've bought a used lighter off eBay. It did not work properly. After thorough cleaning and flint replacement (im corona) it still leaked fuel like crazy. So I've sent it to Peterson for restoration and... they replaced the whole unit. It took some time (nearly...

    Ogden's Mixture

    ...or should we call it 'Mac Baren's mixture' now? That's the project that's been conceived a long time ago but finally came into fruition. St.Bruno's from Germany, Gold Block from the UK. The latter is only 40g (39 in fact) ...so had to add only 4/5 of St.Bruno's pouch. Not a problem...

    The (Un)Official PipesMagazine Secret Santa Thread 2022!

    It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas: A mind-blowing gift from my NSS-Santa! A few old favorites, something new I wanted to try for a long time and a bunch of nice sticks. Yay! Thank you Daniel for your generosity and getting through all the complications of the international parcel...

    The (Un)Official PipesMagazine Secret Santa Thread 2022!

    The thread is nice. Appreciate MC (probably, because I don't have the stigma). But the package is still en-route.

    Peterson Old Dublin

    Another great English blend from Peterson-proper line is "Wild Atlantic". The mixture is rather scruffy but the taste is oh so good.

    The (Un)Official PipesMagazine Secret Santa Thread 2022!

    I haven't received a gift. I (somehow) know that my SS sent two packages. Due to post service delays both arrived after Christmas, when I was already travelling. So they were rejected and returned to the sender (without any calls/notifications from the carriers because Holidays, you know).

    Pipe Makers Ignoring Messages?

    She's not Russian. You've been scammed.

    Nuclear Fusion

    Very interesting, thanks for sharing! It's rather unrelated to the OT though: we are still to see the same hype for NF as for quantum computers. So no bubble to burst (yet). But everything may change in the next few years.

    The (Un)Official PipesMagazine Secret Santa Thread 2022!

    No updates on my first package for 17 days so I've sent another one. Ironically, the first one showed today that the parcel is about to be delivered soon. I guess, my lucky recipient was a good person this year and is going to be gifted twice :)
