Here’s an example from Estervals: Redolency: In the room the Ruby is very sweet and for cherries, so that a non-smoking society, which likes the supposedly "typical pipe smell", should not feel disturbed. Indeed

I checked out that Esterval’s. The description of the tobaccos are fun to read. Each one is a full review but worded interestingly because it was translated from German into English. You can really tell the writer who did them loves tobacco. Recommended reading.

I’m not prone to depression, but I often listen to Rush super loud either on the way to work or on the way home. The albums 2112, A Farewell to Kings and Hemispheres never fail to reach me.

That’s funny!

I’m 50.

Thanks for responding guys. 2 for FVF and 2 for Presbyterian. I like your comment about solace in stressful times BH. Indeed, whatever I end up settling on will be.

Hey piping brothers. I'm about to buy myself a new tin, which up here in Canada is a big thing for me because a tin up here costs on average $58 USD. Purchasing any tobacco from overseas is impossible anymore (it was for a while which was nice and allowed me to try lots of blends unavailable...

I really like my corncob pipe because it's light, has a small bowl and it seems like all tobaccos taste good in it. Usually I enjoy a pipe when I walk my dog in the evening so the fact I can enjoy a corncob and not care about rain falling on it is also a plus. I guess I don't have anything...

Thanks for posting. I really wish that I could go back in time and see London and those shops in their heyday. It would be cool to see everybody wandering around in their nice hats and suits with pipes. What a different world it must have been.

Congratulations on both milestones BH! I hope to reach those myself. How did you celebrate? Did you get anything for yourself to commemorate either milestone?

Very nice!! Good things come to those who wait.

Greetings! Fellow BCer here too. I’m on Vancouver Island. I used to work in Surrey many years ago. Very diverse and international city. Really enjoyed it. Happy piping and enjoy those flakes.

Rattray’s Vauen These are 2 pipe brands that have many 9mm pipes in their selection. And seem in the price range you’re after. Good luck and hope you find a nice pipe!

Correction to my post above. We Canucks celebrate Thanksgiving a month before the USA. Ours was Oct. 10 this year.

Thanks for the well wishes. I am better now and back to work (school principal). BH, I already ate my turkey. I’m Canadian and we celebrate Thanksgiving a week before you guys. (Remember me whining about Canadian tobacco prices?). On that note, I’m stopping in at my tobacconist today on my...

Been watching this series on Youtube while home with the head cold from hell. Was produced in the 80’s for British TV by Granada. Excellent series in that the episodes are very true to the stories. Stars Jeremy Brett as Sherlock. Here’s a link to the episodes on YouTube: Adventure’s of...

Turning 49 this year. Looks like I still have around 11 years to go. No plans to volunteer or anything when I retire. Just do home projects, read, smoke a pipe and drink lots of tea.

My son (11 years old) was just talking about Fibonacci Math yesterday. Didn’t know what he was talking about. Now I do! What a coincidence.

Peterson’s Hyde Park. From what I understand it used to be made by G&H and resembled their Rum Flake. Now, it’s no longer produced by them. The tin I got not long ago was more like cigarette rolling tobacco to me. Didn’t seem to have any topping or flavour. Smoked quite harsh. Disappointed...

Hey Swede, many a pipeful I’ve daydreamed about growing my own. Big leafy plants growing high. Then curing it and aging it. Then steaming and pressing it to make Virginia flakes that beat out Capstan and McClellands. Ahhh pipe dreams. Not even sure if it’s possible to grow tobacco in the...
