    Your First Blend

    St Bruno for me, in Scotland in the late 60s. Followed by Condor, which my friends and I called Vulture. Until reading about them recently, I had no idea that these two were scented - I just thought that was how pipe tobacco was. Alan

    A Strang Turn of Events

    Two other dead giveaways. The dihedral angle of the wings, and a tendency to wobble in flight. Hawks and eagles don't wobble. Alan

    Merry Christmas from The Netherlands!

    The Santa Claus in Finland is a fraud. The real Santa lives in the Canadian Arctic. I know, because Canada Post delivers to him there. Merry Christmas to all, in Europe, North and South America, Australia, everywhere. Alan

    Why Do I Want a Churchwarden Pipe?

    I have three, a Svinelli, a Chacom, and a Vauen Nobile (in the picture). I love them. I always smoke one last thing before bed, sitting in a comfortable armchair, reading. I don't smoke them by day. I can't imagine trying to smoke one moving about! Alan

    What Languages do You Speak?

    I speak English and Scots very fluently and to a high degree. I am fairly fluent in Spanish, though I had a little trouble with that in a recent trip to Paraguay, where their Spanish is a little different (I think it's the Guarani influence). I get on a lot better in Mexico or Colombia. I read...

    Oregon Legislature Passes Ban on Smoking in Car with Kids Present

    It's the "loophole" thing. First, no smoking in a car with young passengers. As you can see from the above, this is not really controversial. Next, it turns out this is difficult to enforce. So, anti-tobacco comes up with "Let's close the loophole about passengers under 16". Now it's all smoking...

    WW1 Era Pipe With Army Unit Insignia

    I bet the EP on the band means Electro Plated. The Hallmark looks phoney, and IAC hallmarks aren't a feature of American silver. Alan

    Some Cellar Shots

    Peck I believe you are in Canada? How do you get all that stuff over the border? I limit myself to 4 50 G tins per order, and that gets through pretty well, but it would take years to get that amount! And I believe you have done this in less than a year! Alan
