What Are You Listening To? - November, 2024
When fresh out of the British Army as a lithographer in the 60s I went to work at a major UK print company. One of my first jobs there was to print Traffic's album sleeve for ''Mr Fantasy''. I always loved this track and Steve Winwood does a great job on this live recording. Happy days.- Mikerr

Hello from Cornwall UK
Hello Dr Chopper, When I had a new heart valve they said it would last 10 years. I've already had 3 years so far. So I thought just enjoy life, and that's the reason I began smoking again. Although, I am hopefully doing it in a more responsible way now. And so far, so good. It's good to be...- Mikerr

Hello from Cornwall UK
Hello Mr Badger, Great name. That used to be the students cheeky name for me when I worked as a technician at an Art College. It was because I was starting to go grey.

Hello from Cornwall UK
Hello Again Barry, My first comment is what pension? The way things are going in the UK, pipe smoking will soon become a capital expenditure. But on a more positive note, that tobaccoreviews.com site is a whole other world and as you say a fantastic resource. And I haven't even begun to...- Mikerr

Hello from Cornwall UK
Hello Barry, Like you I was an early age smoker purely for the nicotine hit though mine was with Golden Virginia roll ups. Moved on to pipe smoking at the suggestion of a work mate. He smoked a Falcon Bantam with Gold Block so that was the combination I bought and used. I did have short affairs...- Mikerr

Hello from Cornwall UK
Hello Barry, Thank you for the welcome. Yesterday I finished up the packet of opened 25g Gold Block I had. But when I opened the sealed packet of 50g Gold Block it was a different level of flavour, wonderful. I'm thoroughly enjoying it. Yes I understand the new Gold Block is not the same. So at...- Mikerr

Hello from Cornwall UK
Thank you for the welcome. We pass through Sancreed on the bus going to Penzance our nearest main town for shopping, banks, etc. I can't say I've heard Cornish spoken very often. Although there is a drive to encourage more people to learn the language to save it dying out. Have been to Carn Euny...- Mikerr

Hello from Cornwall UK
I'm a returning pipe smoker after a 15year lay off. Began pipe smoking seriously in my very early 20s and am now 80 yrs old. Have only ever smoked ''Falcon'' Bantam pipes mostly with Gold Block tobacco. Used to be an inhaler but am now trying/need to smoke more responsibly. I've spent the last...- Mikerr
