    Black XXX

    Figured it might be worth devoting a topic for this one. I really love G&H Black XXX! I find the taste very soft and earthy, nutty. This is one of those tobaccos I feel change very little if at all in taste during a bowl, which is a bit of a shame, but on the positive side the taste is really...

    Can't effin believe it!!

    Finland tied with Spain in the world cup qualifying match last night. I was expecting a total humiliation-fest, the reigning world & European cup holder beating the team Finland 6-0 or something like that. But lo and behold, just incredible! :D Was almost too excited to sleep last night, just...

    Sound of Noise

    Holy shit, I watched this movie today and I have to say it's one of the best ones I've seen in a while. It's a Swedish crime movie about a group of musical terrorists and a tone-deaf policeman hunting them down. Has anyone else seen this one? Liked it? Hated it? I'd totally recommend this to...

    Thank you huffelpuff!

    I've been gotten again! :D The mailman must think there's something super suspicious going on at this rate! :lol: I wasn't sadly home on Friday so I got my hands on the goodness only today, but whoa, am I happy now! I had been tricked by huffelpuff into disclosing my address with the...

    Thank you Kyle!

    :D I need to give Kyle a huuuuge, tight, warm, unwanted hug! :D Today I got a box in the mail. A big one. From Mr Weiss USA. :shock: Inside was a bunch of cool stuff: "Keep Reno Awkward" -stickers (I'll totally stick one to my bicycle :lol: ), some "Love Ranch" matchsticks ( :lol: ), a...

    Enough with the winter.

    -19 C (-2.2 F) outside. Makes me want to smoke fast, and smoking fast is effing stupid. :x If I smoke enough, will it speed up this global warming thing? (and this is not an invitation to Yak to lecture me how GW is a scam invented by banksters or something alike :cat: ) Spring, please.

    Mac Baren Navy Flake

    This tin came in the mail today and I was very excited about tasting a new tobacco. And it was well worth the wait - I feel like I've been, in a way, enlightened. Brothers, I have for the first time tasted a pipe tobacco I absolutely detest. :pale: The smell in the tin was a warning signal...

    The Punk Syndrome

    I just recently watched this documentary, and found it some of the exhilariating and interesting stuff I've watched in a long, long time. It's a simple, no-nonsense documentary about a Finnish punk band called "Pertti Kurikan nimipäivät" (Pertti Kurikka's Name Day), all the 4 members of which...

    I got bombed...

    ... by Ron A. Not only did the unsuspecting mailman carry me the pipe zippo I have craved for quite some time now, but a whole tin (!!!) of Solani Silver flake (one I have really wanted to try), and a tin of SG FVF (another one on the list, as I like SG flikes). This is beyond awesome, mister...

    Tall ships, possibly pirates etc - recommendations?

    As a kid I was always really fond of this genre. Possibly has to do with my father, who used to draw me pictures of pirates and entertain me with trivia about the big beautiful sailships and the less beautiful way of life on them. Among my favourite books were "Treasure Island" and "Peter...

    Gents, I've been bitten in the tongue

    That's right. And it sucks. :evil: I guess this might have something to do with a pipe club evening I attended last weekend, and with all the exciting tobaccoes being thrusted at me, Oh you have to try this. No! Try this instead, or next! ... etc etc for hours. I've never had significant...

    Anyone know what to do with humanity and the universe? I think they're not working properly.

    Writers and kitties

    I figured some people around here might appreciate these pictures too: Writers and Kitties A lot authors I really appreciate there. :) My favourite kitty/picture must be this one: Add a pipe to the gentleman's left hand, and that's a lifestyle worth striving for.... :cat:

    Other kind of pipe-art

    I wasn't quite sure where to post this - here or tobacciana, or photos, or to somewhere off-topicky - but anyway I thought this might be worth sharing. :) Here's a picture I painted a while ago about my first experience with Hal of the Wynd: It's watercolour + ink. Who knows, this might...

    Different pipes for different kinds...

    I tried to look for old threads on this but didn't get lucky... so I'm posting my own. :) So, as a still a rather novice of a pipe smoker, I have only 2 pipes. Planning to get more. So far I have designated the other pipe for virginias only, and the other for everything else. But as I'm...

    Opened my first tin of Balkan Flake

    Ok, at this point opening every tin is a huge occasion for me. :D So, today, after visiting the local tobacconist's (always a pleasure!) I opened the Balkan Flake tin. Goddamn this stuff had a delicious yet absolutely daunting smell! Well, after some rubbing and drying I went on my balcony and...

    Hello there, another n00b here

    Hello there, I'm rather new to the art of smoking pipes, but enjoying every puff more than the next. I've been sucking in information from the internet, and after browsing this site for a while figured that I might just as well join. I hope being a "sister" instead of a brother isn't a problem...
