Brit here: I pronounce Latakia as /lætəkiːə/ lat-uh-KEY-uh as above. Never heard a Brit miss off the final "uh" though. And Syrians are foreign, so what would they know? :shock:

Have a word with Rich of 4Noggins and I'm sure he'll send you samples of each of the pure tobaccos normally used for blending. you can smoke them individually (although one or two are really just condiments) then you can experiment yourself on mixing the flavours and compare them with known...

There's been a thread running on this for some time on the pipe forum I moderate. We've all tried it with the vast majority finding it successful and making a switch to this method, including me. Inevitably there will be a cut it won't work as well with, and flakes might well fit the bill. It...

Here's where I'm allowed to smoke: The first two are of my office downstairs (I've got rid of the fish tank, thankfully) and the third is of my smoking den upstairs, where I have music and tv too.

At first I thought this was going to be a thread about lynchings, but sadly, no. I'm with Chris - we have very little in the way of B&Ms here so most of us have B&M envy.

Another forum is currently running a Mr Brog thread and the general consensus is that for the money they're a great buy. Although they have a website it sells through an Amazon store: http://astore.amazon.com/mrbrog00-20 Greater choice here.

George that's a pipe I'd buy! Beautifully redesigned. And this is a real compliment because I usually don't like pipes which are a mix of smooth and rusticated. Stunning!

I've got to be honest, of all pipe shapes the Oom Paul and poker are my least favourite (I include Rameses in the term Oom Paul) -- but this, I love. Beautifully designed and executed, and I love the grain and finish. First class!

That is truly terrible. :shock:

There's something about a flash mob which gets me every time. This was great. Try this: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/SXh7JR9oKVE" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" allowfullscreen></iframe>

I always avoid cleaning my pipes when Mission Control is about as she moans about the smell (which even I find unpleasant), so the answer to your question must be "yes, I do". Always chuck your pipe cleaners straight away too -- they can be silent killers.

Welcome.. er... unwelcomeguest. Hope you have a great time here. Enjoy your time and you'll learn a lot you thought you already knew.

Although I'm about to be 57 I'm lucky in that I've always kept current with music. This guy is a legend. Thanks for posting.

I bought mine for £1.20 on Ebay. My blog - http://lefthandedscribblings.co.uk/2009/05/baccyflap/

Sorry, I don't know how I missed it. As for putting up with it, we have no choice I'm afraid.

I thought I'd make you all feel better by telling you what we pay over here in England. Converted to $US the cost is $8.95 per gallon, of which over 85% is tax. I hope you all feel better now... :(

Interestingly, many posts go from "eeeeeuuuwww" to "aaaahhhh" in a short space. My reaction was the same initially, not sure whether I liked it. I should know better - like a good tobacco, a good pipe might take a while to get to know. This took 30 seconds for me to like, and another 15 for me...

"Pipes are often reusable" - has anyone ever seen a single use pipe? Serious question. I will NEVER get cervical cancer.

Now I have a choice of elephant seal or kiwi I'm confused. It's like that spinning ballerina all over again...
