Like in this part in Germany a very hopped beer. On the pictures you can see almost the whole brewery. My friend fills the bottles of beer by hand (of course with the help of a...
On friday last week my Montecristi arrived. Ordered in Spring (it took a long time to get it) by Panamabob and blocked by Art Fawcett.
This is such a nice fitting jewel. Unbelievable. Art is an artist on hats. And although it took a long time to get the hat, Panamabob did really a nice work...
This is awesome.
Probably not my size, so I'm not jealous :p. I still own a handfull of hats and 2 are coming (Panama from Panamabob and a beaver hat from Penman - almost the same price).
Yanks.
Original a Dutch word IMHO. A lot of Dutch people (the man) till now, have the name Jan and Kees.
JanKees - Yankees, Yanks.
I think it is interesting. The eldest street in Amerika have a Dutch name too.

Vintage means for me: at that age they found the optimum for shaving for...
Me too.
Just tea from the Wuyi-mountains. "Oolong" or "zheng shan xiao zhong". Although in the Mountain, they are making also "Lapsang souchung".
If this tea is good enought for the English Royal Family - the Royal Family drinks most of the time the "zheng shan xiao zhong" (and I'm not...
Somebody made scratches on the bowl to look it a bit like a straight-grain - as far as I can see on the pictures, it is not a straight-grain. But I can be wrong. Nevertheless it is for sure a good pipe.
Don't clean the bowl that much - it is good to have some charcoal inside: makes the...
A corn cob is very common in the States, if I'm not wrong. You can find them in Europe, but is a niche market. Almost noboby over here is smoking a corn cob pipe, although the pipe is very cheap. I did smoke a long time ago a corn cob and discovered, you can taste the (burn) of the corn cob. If...
I like this a lot. Beautiful. Together with a nice fedora. By the way, are you Chinese? I'm married with a Chinese woman.
You have a lot of nice stuff around you. I like that too.

Rice

This morning with one of my most beautiful DE razor:
loaded with a Feather DE from Japan
Tabac Original shavingsoap and after-shave.
For me, the Feather is too sharp - I don't need this sharpeness. I got some cuts.
Tomorrow a straight razor - mostly I use a straight razor.
We just had for dinner: stir fried asparages and green salad, together with a well-made and delicious soup with rice from Birma. On this way, the asparages are krispy and soft as well. The pictures gives an idea. My wife cooked the soup and I did all the others:
