There's Nothing Like a Good Hard Shag
I think I had DBE a long time ago, but can't remember it. I have some Kendal Dark from about 10 years ago, and it's definitely just Virginia, definitely no dark fired. No idea what it's like now.- jaingorenard

What are You Reading Now?
I last read McCarthy when I was a teenager at university (The Road and No Country for Old Men). I'm intrigued to see what I make of him now.- jaingorenard

I'll also recommend Penny Farthing, it's not very strong in nicotine as far as I remember. Pretty much average. Five Bros. is strong though.- jaingorenard

That's what they were previously, but they've been homogenized into one ribbon-cut blend according to Rachel.- jaingorenard

And for me the Barling motor dome exudes Edwardian style - I can absolutely picture someone motoring along with one (however poorly it would have functioned in reality). The above contraption... Less so.- jaingorenard

Show Us Your Falcons!
I don't really mind them, but there is also a huge amount of variation. I did go and dig some stems out after all! Far left is an early vulcanite stem model (thanks @simong ), next is I believe a very early one (but I can't remember where I found that out), next is a 60s British-made one, next...- jaingorenard

Show Us Your Falcons!
Whatever @condorlover1 says, you just can't deny the innate sex appeal of the humble Falcon. I can't be bothered to dig out all of mine. By their very nature they end up in rucksacks, coat pockets and in the shed. The great thing about Falcons is they're almost impossible to get a bad smoke...- jaingorenard

***What Are You Smoking, May 2024?***
1950s cutter top Dunhill Early Morning Pipe (a kind gift from a forum member) in an Ashton. Amazing how present the Latakia still is. I've been away at the coast all weekend mostly smoking Amphora Full and Amphora Burley so this is a good change of pace, and an exceptional tobacco.- jaingorenard

Not me; I just scrolled down in the link @jguss posted and could access a digitalised copy. Maybe as I'm based in the UK (which would be strange, usually it's the other way round!). Just to note, there's very little else in that document relating to tobacco, and this is the only advert relating...- jaingorenard

If this is from around the time of the tobacco 'cartridges', could this be some sort of in-built cartridge loader? I can't work out if the whole bit on the inside of the lid pushes down or if something comes through the hole. Never seen anything like it!- jaingorenard
