Smoking in my Bedroom with a Blueair Purifier?
I don’t smell it but I’m sure everything in my world smells like stale Latakia. I was 3 people behind an old guy at the store the other day who reeked of cigarettes. I was kinda grossed out. I’m not smoking 3 packs of nails a day but I imagine that’s what most people think when they walk into...- daveinlax

Smoking in my Bedroom with a Blueair Purifier?
I’d try it with the doors and window closed but without a dedicated smoke eater with a charcoal odor filter she might not be happy. I have a buddy who was not happy with his Blueair he had better luck with a Rabbit with the charcoal filter but even with that his wife could smell smoke.- daveinlax

The White Bar is the most common since 1997 before that all the Hallco imported pipes had the rhinestone trademark. The white stems have a Black Dot trademark.- daveinlax

What is Castello’s Great Line?
Castello nomenclature is confusing at best. The only constant is inconsistency. I don't get to excited about what's stamped, I either like the pipe or I don't. As it happens I don't usually like GL's. Here is a snippet from a piece by Bob Hamlin that I have archived on paper and on my computer...- daveinlax

What is Castello’s Great Line?
I think of Great Lines two ways. One, the most common is a bent Dublin shape usually with a round shank and an oval bowl and two, much less common is an extra stamp with a higher price an a larger or unique take on a standard shape. I know they are sold at a premium price. My buddy Richard...- daveinlax

What "The Wife" Thinks
My wife tolerates it and has even shown some interest and a little pride in the collection. She’ll even tolerate one cigar a day on long multi day road trips.- daveinlax

The Pheasant Run Years of the CPS will be Missed
The Tower had a total had a total makeover when we arrived in 2002 and was a huge upgrade from the Ramada and our one year at Indian Lakes. Everything worked and was really nice. The resort went slowly downhill after the family sold it and nosedived after the first bankruptcy.- daveinlax

Experience with Vintage Dunhill Rollagas Lighters from eBay?
I don’t think so but there are other dedicated Dupont lighter groups on Facebook. On a side note, since this thread was last active ARS has Rollagas pipe burners back in stock. I bought 3 pipe burners from China to try getting eBay lighters restored and converted by Facebook guys at a fraction...- daveinlax

What is Your Favorite Blend in the Morning?
I think the Nate Sherman mixtures were from Lane Ltd. It might be 1Q, BLWB or RLP-6 in a tin. I’m pretty much a one trick pony so my first smoke of the morning is usually finishing my last bowl of the night. I usually have 2 or three partially smoked bowls at hand in the morning.- daveinlax

Broken Pipe Craig Cobine
I read on the Chicago Clubs Facebook page the Sad News that Craig Cobine passed away in March. Craig and I shared a love of all things Dunhill and we spent many happy hours over the years hanging out with the Chicago guys in smoke filled hotel rooms at pipe shows. Here we are at his Chicago Show...- daveinlax
