    Let's Chat!

    Agree content is as bad as ever, but there is now also some very good content. Most of my non-sports and non-news viewing is of what I dub "BritMysts". Tremendous trove of that- but it may not be your cuppa. Edit: Apologies to Durhamshire for veering this off course. I wish I could add a lot to...

    Let's Chat!

    Ah, a Londoner! So, there's that nasty levy on TV's - that might do it for me. But frankly, I love TV. In the 70's, 80's and 90's and on, most TV was crap- some content O.K., but poor visual and audio quality on everything. Different in every respect now, though there's still a huge pile of...

    What's wrong with watching the telly? Certainly it's no substitute for human interaction, but it's a blessing for those of us who like drama, news and sports.

    And Your Favourite Cheese Is?

    I am making a switch away from my beloved double and triple cream cheeses to good hard cheeses. My lady friend is convinced I am allergic to dairy, and I can't disagree. This a.m. I made some progress by substituting a machiatto for a cap. OH! The trials we go through.... :)

    Well, this thread's about film, but I suppose watching a watch sorta fits in! Helluva piece!

    Spring Pollen and Pipe Smoking

    Yes, for me it can affect everything, but smoking less than comfort.

    And Your Favourite Cheese Is?

    Boursault! Use to buy it every week when I lived in NYC. Can't find it locally. Any one else try it?- (like it or not)

    And Your Favourite Cheese Is?

    Cowgirl Cheese's "Mt. Tam". But aged cheddar and Stilton are up there.

    Sarome Pipe Review

    Yep the Derby is coming up, and I have only hope at this time. No real feel for which Spurs team will show up. Let's hope for a great game!

    Maintaining Vulcanite Stems in Canada and US!

    Expanded title, as Howards (and other products) are available in the States.

    Peterson or IM Corona

    I have little problem lighting with a single nozzle Old Boy or Kiribi Kabuto- or a BiC for that matter in winds under 15 knots. Yes, it takes repeating cupping the hands until you get the right cover! And any structure, tree or vehicle can be useful.

    Smoking To The Bottom Of The Bowl

    A nice little compendium, but quite unnecessary! If the tobacco is at the right moisture for the cut, just load the pipe! Don't faff around! Unless, of course, you enjoy a simple process made longer.

    I Asked an A.I. Image Generator to Show me Pipe Smoking...

    A bot's explanation! As bad as many humans. It could have said, "Yeah, we blew it out our ass. Sorry."

    Greetings from SoCal!

    Please put your location in your Profile, as people are forgetful. Why: It will save time for others as to where you live when you mention local stores, weather, tobacco prices, availability, regulations, location of photos, wildfires, air quality, etc. In many instances that saves time for...
