Top 5 for 2015 No 2
Top 5 for 2015 No 2
Its becoming customary now to do two “Top 5” reviews every year. Earlier this year, I did the first one but thought it necessary to do Top 5 for 2015 No 2 – the second part of the year. Before I list my Top 5 for 2015 No 2, a kind of a disclaimer. Technically, and for the purist out there, I’m probably not really qualified to do tobacco reviews other than that I’m just a regular pipe smoker…

Diary of Smoking a Pipe Day 6
Diary of Smoking a Pipe Day 6
OK, I admit, I skipped a day or two. This challenge seems to be harder than I thought it to be. Nevertheless, here is my Diary of Smoking a Pipe Day 6. Today didn’t start that well when I received a notice which I were expected but didn’t really wanted. However, I filled my bowl with two of my favorite tobaccos which I had smoked quite awhile ago – Penzance and Odyssey. Both bowls was…

Comparative Reviews
Apart from my, lately, comparative reviews of older and younger tobaccos, I’ve also done a comparative review of two similar tobaccos – Penzance & GL Pease Quiet Nights. Video review of this comparative review Video review. Penzance (YouTube Video) In the tin, a wonderful full Latakia smokiness, reminiscent of sitting next to a camp fire with a spicy undertone somewhere between those nostalgia.…

Pipe get together
I’ve read of so many pipe get together in the US that I thought – wouldn’t it be nice to have something similar here in South Africa. The only problem is: we don’t know of each other; we are way less pipe smokers active in communities and forums. But, I had a chance to organise such a pipe get together with two facebook forum pipe smokers in Pretoria (Centurion) today and …. what a pleasure.
We…

Patreon Support
I’ve just created a Patreon Support page. Why?
Patreon Support
Well, I would love to expand my tobacco and whisky selection to give you a bigger range and variety of reviews and pairing. As you probably know from my previous posts and YouTube videos, we do not have the selection of tobaccos available in South Africa. To get access to a greater variety, I need to order from the internet. Not…

Davidoff Review
I’ve bought my first Davidoff – the only (proper) one I could get was the flake Medallion, which appears to be a VaPer. I’ve tried a bowl of Davidoff once – don’t know what it was, but I’ve heard so much good things about Davidoff that I thought I should at least try and do a Davidoff review.
See the Davidoff review here….. However, I must say that the price at which we get them, I probably will…

First Gaslight Smoke
Sorry no photos of today’s smoke. The bowl was a new to me tobacco G. L. Pease, Gaslight. A fantastic smoke, earthy, smokey & smoke with substance. An English blend through and through, heaps of Latakia for a rich camp fire note. I love the pressed blocks (like delicious brownies) and having to slice off, rub out and then pack the tobacco. Of course I was using my Aristocob bent gentleman cob. Smoke on!
