    Condor Long Flake

    I've offered to send what's left of this pouch to someone already (not worth trading this amount) However, I can get you as much as you like.... in trade, I'm after trying some of the tinned 3 nuns, escudo navy De Luxe, Reiner Long Golden Flake, GLP chelsea Morning, union square (there's...

    Condor Long Flake

    Just bought a pouch of this this afternoon. Haven't had it before, so I figured I'd give it a go. Never again; Dear God, this stuff is filthy! Like smoking cheap air freshener or aftershave. Really reminds me of something specific, but I can't put my finger on it.... anyone want to trade...

    Hello, Hello from london Town....

    He may charge a bit more than 15 each, but he said he'd do it (I guess it just means that he would only use better bits of briar with no pits for mine)

    Hello, Hello from london Town....

    saw John this morning... he said he thought he remembered, but that you certainly weren't big! (he's a kind fellow maybe!) I asked him about fill; yes, naturally, on pipes he's selling for £15 there will be fill, in fact it's barely noticable - he uses a dark fill. I looked at my (8 so far)...

    Hello, Hello from london Town....

    Question for you about fills..... I know this may sound stupid, but I'm not sure how to spot them(!); should it be obvious? I've looked at my Millvilles and there are some "spots", but they may be markings in the briar, I don't know....

Got 8oz of penzance in the post yesterday..... decanted it into 4 jars so i can spread it out over some time; I have to say that the smell is unbelievable when you open it! in fact, having thrown out the 8oz pouch, I lifted...

    Hello, Hello from london Town....

    Well, I posted my "hello" on a number of forums and I have to say that it's true that pipe people are the most friendly and welcoming bunch! I'd like to add to my original post regarding the pipes I acquired.... I got the two Danish pipes yes; but these were not the pick of the collection I...

    Hello, Hello from london Town....

    This is my very first post about pipes anywhere, so here goes........ (I'll probably post it on some other forums too though) First of all, a bit of background; I have been smoking Cuban cigars for a while and have become pretty familiar with the whole cigar world (some would argue a little too...
