    What are You Watching, 2021? Rating [*/5]

    Yesterday I watched ‘The Queens Gambit' on NF whereupon I was pretty stirred up. So, to change my mood I watched another movie thereafter, a comedy which I liked at once when it came out in 2000. The way the guys love and discuss rock music is priceless …. High Fidility

    Flair Espresso Machines?

    I got to know these moka pots as a student in the early 70s and still use it today. My wife always wished a automatic coffee machine which can make espresso, cappucino, latte etc. Two years ago she bought a rather expensive "Jura E 80" and is happy with it. I still prefere a normal filter coffee.

    Looking for Tips : Moderate Oxidation Removal on Vulcanite Stems

    Thanks Orlando! A Charatan w/o a logo is like a Mercedes-Benz w/o the star symbol. ? Seriously, some sellers offer to rebuild a new Cp on the stem. I decline this. For me the (worn/faded) logo on estates primarily indicates that the stem is original. A brand new logo doesn't blend in with a...

    What Turned You on to Pipes?

    I guess it was not the pipe she disliked but smoking in general. Smokers today have a bad image. I heard comments about smoking people as if they were irresponsible criminals who only damage their fellow men.
