    Lament of the Canadian pipe smoker

    Hey Blackhorse, the thought has crossed my mind. But, I worry the sender may get in trouble for mailing tobacco across borders. I also think it will get nabbed. I think what I gotta do is accept my situation. I guess I will begin to just buy at my local and accept the cost. I enjoy pipesmoking...

    Lament of the Canadian pipe smoker

    I’m a Canadian pipe smoker so as many are aware that means steep taxes. Prohibitively steep. Like we’re talking a pouch of Amphora goes for $65CAN which is about $50US. Insane. It also means limited selection. At my local B&M, which is a nice classic tobacconist selling mainly cigars, they...

    How was your weather today?

    96% humidity today though I would say more like 110%. Getting slammed by a typhoon here named Noru. Lighting and thunder...drenching downpours. Feeling rather sticky at the moment.

    Burley questions

    Thanks Richard. Prince Albert huh? As a Canadian I never grew up around these smells so all those OTCs are unknown to me. I remember yellow Sail and Amphora being around and not much else up in the Great White North. I shall purchase a pouch of PA the next time I order stuff. Storm Front too...

    Burley questions

    Yes. Wodehouse is my favourite writer. Psmith is one of my favorite of his characters! Psmith in the City. Great book about the drudgery of work and the lure of sport and open air. Who can't relate?

    Burley questions

    Lately I've been enjoying Semois a lot which is the only straight burley I've ever tasted. For a while I've been thinking about getting a tub of an American burley like PA, Granger, SWA, or Lane RR. I'm wondering is there any similiarity between any of those and Semois? Which one do any of...

    When a rose is a pipe

    He he. I was only being facetious Banjo. Having been to China there is no shortage of bamboo there. That is an amazing collection you have and I always enjoy seeing your pictures. Out of curiosity...what was your very first bamboo pipe? As in which pipe started it all for you?

    When a rose is a pipe

    Im no ecologist but is it possible that Panda bears became endangered because all the bamboo they need to eat was used in your pipe collection Mr. Banjo?

    Bliss

    Nice! Funny to think there are tons of people who twist themselves into yogic knots, take drugs, pay for years of therapy etc...to find the peaceful state of mind you described. Its very simple...slow down, smoke a pipe. Peace on Earth.
