Relaxing after a wonderful salad, steel head trout and sugar snap peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I'm a third of the way through this bowl of year 2014 MacBaren Three Nuns in the first pipe Trever Talbot made when he went to France many years ago. It's a smooth straight Algerian briar Lumberman with a long shank and a black vulcanite saddle stem, unbranded. Community Coffee, neat, is my drink.

Good looking pipe

The Dr. Grabow cob with a melange of baccy. The last of some Grand Croupier, Double down and a pinch of C&D Blk Cav and J4 Burley. A cup of stout black coffee riding shotgun.
Actually, very tasty.

Oliver, Thank you for your suggestion. Two months ago, I bought 15 popular C&D tobacco to learn about this famous company, each at 2-4oz. Since then, I have smoked a bowl of C&D tobacco every day to cultivate my acceptance of burley. HAIYAAAAA! They put burley into almost all blends！
Guess what I chose in the end? Pirate Kake, Byzantine, Super Balkans and Poplar Camp.
I should change my name to Latakia isaac or more German style, isaac von latakia.

Try G.L. Pease’s blends too, also blended by C&D, but they don’t contain Propylene Glycol.

I think tobacco without Propylene Glycol allows for better, purer tobacco.

My VPN does not have any region in Germany. If there is one, I will choose Bayreuth Festspielhaus as my registration location.

I’m a computer geek/nerd... LOL

I’ve been into VPNs for decades, use to teach on the subject, and I also helped give tech support for a VPN company.

Mullvad, for the cost, offers the best in security and privacy.

They have German servers, and they also use Wireguard, which is a newer protocol than OpenVPN, and it’s a lot faster too.

Here’s some info on Wireguard;

Pipe Club Meeting. Had some Anomalous and some 90’s Dunhill Light Flake

Good Evening.
Polish Condor in an English Zulu.
Don’t know much about poles but the best Zulu’s are, in my opinion, the straight ones. Much like women & whisky.

@simong I've lost count of how many packets of Condor I've smoked in my clay pipes.
I didn't remove the clappers from Nantwich & Old Brampton church bells like in the old Condor advert

I remember when I first started smoking pipes in 2008, GLP was already very popular in China, and everyone compared this brand's products to dunhill. I will regularly buy a few cans of Quiet Nights, Haddo's Delight, and Odyssey. Spark Plug and Gaslight haven't had time to try yet, and it is said that their reputation is also quite good.

Try G.L. Pease’s blends too, also blended by C&D, but they don’t contain Propylene Glycol.
