    1970s Dunhill Root Briar

    Smoking my 1970s decade made Dunhill Root Briar. I didn't understand the concept or the idea of a birthday pipe, until I just told myself to get a Dunhill from the year I was born awhile back. It is a nice smoker. Does anyone know anything or anywhere where I can read up on the Root Briar...

    Darn - Laid off again

    hey man I feel ya. I'm consistently paranoid about changes like that. Hang in there, also I'll have a pipe for ya. The pipe helps with the stress, I'm a lot calmer and less worried nowadays after getting into pipe tobacco and cigars recently. Look at the bright side it is an excuse to get...

    looking to buy 1st meerschaum

    I got my first and only Meerschaum from AND Meerschaum pipe store. It was a lot less than the price you quoted. Under $50. I prefer my cobs now, but when I did smoke my Meerschaum a lot I found it great for araomatics , cools the smoke. I since moved on to English and prefer wood or Cobs.

    new to corn cob pipes, questions

    Is a Dunhill Worth the Cost?

    I have paid about $600-$700 for two new Dunhills each. They are glorious. Really nice smokers, and very beautiful to look at.

    NYC Mayor Tries to Ban Smoking in Apartments

    our backs are to the wall, seems the whole west coast and east coast are corrupt with some sort of disease. lets hope it doesn't spread. although hope is the worst word in the metaphysical dictionary. keep it lit I guess then ;)

    NYC Mayor Tries to Ban Smoking in Apartments

    De Blasio and the former Bloomberg are fascists, plain and simple. Hitlery (Hillery) will be even worse. They will stop at nothing for more power, even killing innocent citizens doesn't bother them. Learn what happened under Stalin, Mao, Hitler. They already took our guns, and then they came...
