Mesaj 5 de la Stefan
:)) Succes si nu uita:" E important sa participi, nu sa castigi" Maine vom scrie istorie! Va fi primul concurs NATIONAL de fumat pipa din ROMANIA....ever.
......mor de nerabdare....mi-am curatat pipa, am fumat putin cu ea, imi vine sa o pun sub perna la noapte ca sa nu pateasca ceva......e posibil ca maine din cauza emotiilor sa ma balbai si sa mi se stinga pipa in primele 5 minute (tocmai de aceea am printat 10 diplome, ca sa iau si eu totusi o mentiune in cazul in care sunt primul caruia i se va stinge pipa :))).
Mesaj 3 de la Stefan pt Raluca
Vom face fotografii, vom filma, voi posta clasamentele pe blog si pe grup.
....In privinta berii; sunt bune combinatiile care iti fac placere, asa cum fumezi pipa din placere nu din snobism, asa cum bei bere pt ca e o bautura sociala si iti place sa o bei......combinatia dintre doua placeri nu poate fi decat binevenita. Bineinteles ca sunt si lucruri care nu din snobism, ci din incercari, s-au dovedit ca fiind combinatii extraordinare....cum ar fi trabucul sau pipa cu whisky sau cu coniac.....dealtfel sunt si tutunuri cu "topping" de whisky sau coniac....cu topping de bere inca nu am auzit , dar de ce nu?
Distractie placuta si tutunuri de 4 stele!

22 octombrie 2006

Am primit saptamana trecuta tutunurile comandate la www.cupojoes.com. ....inafara de faptul ca marfa a costat 22 EUR si transportul 25 EUR nu au fost alte surprize neplacute. Transportul a a juns intr-o saptamana de la comanda, tutunurile sunt excelente si nici nu am avut probleme cu vamesul cu toate ca erau toate bulk.
Am comandat 4 uncii de 1Q (excelent),
2 uncii de Golden Canedish,(nu am fumat deocamdata)
2 uncii de Black Cavendish (excelent)
2 uncii de Maraschino Cherry (nu am fumat dar Oleg spune ca inteapa)
2 uncii de Vanilla Cake(nu am fumat deocamdata)
Tot saptamana trecuta am primit prin Costin (ii multumesc pe aceasta cale) tutun adus din duty free:
100gr Mac Baren Vanilla Cream (nici urma de aroma de vanilie....a se compara cu Olanta - Danish Black Vanilla sau cu Skandinavik Vanilla de la Orlik tobaccos)
100gr Danske Club - Black Luxury (Care luxury? Are gust de tutun comun, era mai bun un Captain Black Royal)
50gr Davidoff - Red Mixture (ok dar cam tare)
50gr Davidoff - Blue Mixture (mai bun decat Red Mixture)
Pe scurt: Dati banii pe:
1Q (cel mai adevarat tutun),
Black Cavendish (usor, parfumat, nu inteapa, se fumeaza excelent),
Davidoff Blue mixture (intr-adevar Cool Mixture cum era numit inainte, are si o cutiuta frumoasa in acre poti tine apoi "1Q" facut de Lane Limited:))
Uncia de tutun (28,34gr) la www.cupoojes.com este in jur de 1,9 USD (taxe postale pana la 5000gr= 26,95 USD!!!

Local nou, Andreea, meteo, joi 12
2) Andreea este printre noi! De cateva zile, Andreea Rucareanu, sora Ralucai, este mebra pe Yahoo group. Ii uram "Bun venit!" si o asteptam in continuare alaturi de noi. Ma bucur sa vad ca putem apropia si persoane de sex feminin de pasiunea noastra; pipa.
3) Meteo, este un fel de a spune. Dupa ce toata vara ne-am cam chinuit dib=n cauza umiditatii, se pare ca vremea a devenit favorabila fumatului pipei. Ieri am iesit sa plimb Caniche-ul si am avut placuta surpriza de a putea fuma pipa pana la sfarsit fara a ramane urme umede in ea.....poate si tutunul a fost mai uscat dar am fumat 30 de minute fara a reaprinde pipa, am terminat-o asa cum am indesat-o (packed) de la inceput, nefiind nevoie sa ating tutunul cu futacul....
4) Nu uitati ca este joi. Va astept in numar cat mai mare la restaurantul turcesc.
....Sa fumati bine!

How to brew tea?
Ask this question to a true tea connoisseur and he will tire you with an endless story about the stages of boiling water and methods of putting tea leaves into a teapot with special circular motions.
In fact all these fine details that turn a rather simple task of brewing tea into a long and complicated procedure contribute to the improvement of tea flavour so little that only professional tea tasters can discern the difference. To enjoy your cup of tea it is enough to follow just several simple yet important rules.
Water
As it is known water boils at 100°С. However, this is not an instant process because the lower layers of water in a kettle are heated faster. Small bubbles appear in these layers that together with the hot water rise to the surface and mix with the upper "colder" layers of water. At this stage a kettle usually produces quite a lot of noise or "sings".
The Chinese call this state of boiling water "white spring". The "white spring" water at the temperature of 85-90°С is optimal for brewing tea. At the same time one should remember that green tea is more sensitive to water temperature than black tea which you can brew after boiling water in you kettle (it is enough just to cool it down a bit).
At this point it should also be noted that in many places it is not recommended to drink tap water. So if you plan to brew tea with "white spring" you should first get bottled drinking water (obviously it should not be either mineral or sparkling water).
Dry Tea Leaves
The following rule is generally accepted regarding the amount of dry tea leaves that should be put into a brewing pot: one teaspoon per cup and an additional one "for the brewing pot". It is also worth mentioning that if you brew tea for quite a few people and plan to add some water to the infusion after it is poured into the cups you should put more tea - approximately by 20% - into the pot. As large leaf tea brews slower it is recommended to put one more spoon of dry tea when you brew this kind of tea.
It goes without saying that tea should be put into the pot first and then poured over with water. However, first of all one should warm up the brewing pot itself - it can be done either with hot water or on a kitchen oven.
Brewing time
Brewing time depends mainly on the grade of tea. As it has been mentioned earlier large leaf grades require longer brewing time. Besides that different people prefer different strength of tea. For this reason it is impossible to recommend exact brewing time. Instead, one should be guided by recommendations on the package and individual preferences. However, it is important to note that brewing time for green tea as a rule is two times less than for black tea. This is a rather important notion to keep in mind as green tea is more sensitive to brewing period than black tea and often becomes bitter if left to infuse longer than recommended.
Adding milk to tea
The idea to add milk to tea first came to Europeans. First records about the positive effects of tea with milk date back to XVII century. It is quite possible that the tradition to add milk to tea was copied from the similar trend to drink coffee that was very popular in those times.
It is believed that accordingly to the oldest tradition one has to pour milk into the cup first and only afterwards add tea. This rule is believed to have come from the fear that hot tea might damage the thin porcelain cups. However, later there appeared the followers of the exactly opposite theory stating that tea should go into cup first. Obviously that milk does not go well either with lemon or bergamot. Also one should not add milk to green tea and Chinese grades of black tea.

Joia trecuta am putut incerca ....tot de la Cristi: Non Plus Ultra de la Dan Tobaccos (CAO). Eu l-am cotat intre "1Q" si "Top Hat". 1Q este mai placut chiar decat "WO Larsen Fresh and Elegant"
"Pipetobaccos.com" spune despre acest tutun:
"This modern masterpiece is a model of times past. This blend consists of a "Ready Rubbed" Virginia blend with a mild sweetness and a full Virginia flavor. The various Virginia tobaccos have been fermented under pressure and matured in its own juices. The tobacco has an aroma, which is somewhat fruity, but this is not a cased, aromatic tobacco. The maturation of the tobacco in its own juices provides this unique taste and aroma. The Non Plus Ultra's mild smoke is smoclay and cool. The ash is even and clean."
"Tobacco reviews" reproduce descrierea producatorului: "A mixture of selected Golden Virginia leaf tobacco processed to provide a cool and mild smoke. This is not a cased blend."... Trebuie sa repet ca reviewurile de pe acest site sunt subiective. Un tutun care mie mi-a parut peste medie, are 7 reviewuri din care 6 de 1 stea si un review de 3 stele....fiecare cu gustul lui. Cele mai bine documentate reviewuri la tutun imi par cele din revista "Pipes & Tobaccos", facute de un specialist care descrie foarte bine tutunul, aroma si senzatiile oferite de acesta in functie de pipa in care a fost fumat.

Cum sa fumezi trabuc: click aici
Cum sa recunosti un trabuc bun: click aici
Forme si dimensiuni ale trabucului: click aici

Dragi prieteni. Sambata aceasta, simtindu-ma obosit, mi-am adus aminte ca pastrez de un an si jumatate un trabuc Private Stock Tubos nr 2 primit de la prietenii mei alaturi de o sticla de "Lacrima lui Ovidiu 12 ani" cu ocazia aniversarii zilei mele de nastere in anul 2005.
Experienta mea in ceea ce priveste trabucurile este aproape inexistenta. M-am gandit ca ar fi cazul ca langa trabuc sa adaug si cativa mililitri de scotch "Clan Mac Gregor" deoarece coniac nu aveam prin casa. Asadar am oesit pe balcon si am aprins trabucul.....am trait o experienta unica pe care nu mi-am putut permite sa nu o imortalizez....scuze pt pijamale. Conform review-urilor, trabucul trebuia sa fie citez: "Very light, sweet, spicy, well constructed cigar that has a lovely subtle aroma and is perfectly balanced. An elegant smoke. Very good value. Length 6 Ring Guage 48".
Descrierea producatorului suna cam asa:
"Private Stock cigars are one of the best values in the cigar world. Made at the Tabadom Factory, one of the most famous factories operating today, the cigars are hand rolled from premium Dominican Tobacco and are wrapped in a silky Connecticut shade wrapper. For decades, Tabadom has been making some of the most famous cigars ever produced, most notably the prestigious and highly rated Davidoff and Cusano lines.
Private Stock is mild to medium bodied and has a slightly metallic finish that comes from its unique Ecuadorian binder. Each cigar is rolled under the supervision of master cigar maker Henke Kelner, a name commonly associated with top quality cigars. At an everyday low price, Private Stock is an inexpensive yet valuable addition to any humidor."
Nu am mai incercat niciodata sa fumez trabuc alaturi de un pahar de whisky.....nu imi placeau nici trabucurile si nici whisky-ul.....separate dar impreuna sunt cu totul altceva. Am simtit diferenta fata de un trabuc de duzina cum ar fi King Edward sau alte "trabucuri" vandute prin chioscurile de bilete RATC....l-am fumat incet ca sa nu se incalzeasca prea tare (ca pe pipa) iar aroma o datorez si faptului ca trabucul nu a fost tanar ci a avut timp sa "imbatraneasca" circa 18 luni. Nu voi uita nicodata aceasta zi insorita, un nou inceput pentru mine alaturi de o combinatie de neuitat: trabuc si scotch.

Dunhill Christmas pipe 2005 (nr 279 din 400)

Dunhill Christmas pipe 2005, pipa nr 279 din 400....o adevarata opera de arta. Se spune ca pipele Dunhill au ceva "magic" care le face sa fumeze excelent. Maiestria cu care sunt faurite, atentia, minutiozitatea si inaltul nivel de calificare de care dau dovada pipierii de la Dunhill, ii fac pe acestia sa creeze mici opere de arta. Deasupra acestor pipe pluteste un aer de celebritate. Nu poti descrie sentimentul pe care il ai atunci cand tii in mana o pipa Dunhill....poate cea mai bine facuta pipa din lume, un brand care inspira respect, traditie si o siguranta a calitatii. Stiti cu totii ca ceea ce spun nu sunt vorbe in vant.
Priviti si minunati-va....o pipa extraordinara, un ambalaj inteligent, acoperit cu piele alba (simbolul excelentei) si inelul din aur roz de 18K pe care este imprimat un fulg de zapada inspirat de fotografia facuta in anul 1885 de catre Wilson Alwyn Bentley....FARA CUVINTE....
