    1963 Dunhill

    Not unlike many of you out there, I too would like to acquire a Birth Year Dunhill. Having an affinity for Bent Bulldogs, one of these would be my preference. But with all of that being said, I'd just like to find a reasonable deal on a 63. Dino

    Big thanks to tomnernas2ndson

    A week or so ago I pm'd Greg about tobacco that he had listed for sale a while back. He contacted me and offered to ship me some free samples of a variety of blends. I graciously accepted his kind offer. Today I got a helluva surprise! I received a box with 30 samples of tobacco. All in...

    A Shout-Out for Jayson Dagner Pipes

    I think I've posted before about the excellent customer service I've received when ordering from Jayson Dagner's "Dagner Pipes". Some of you know that Jayson started out a few years ago with a Youtube channel. He's not an overly sophisticated kind of guy and doesn't claim to be. He's down to...

    4 or 5 year old Margate

    Back in the beginning of the year I spent several hours utilizing my google fu skills in search of Penzance. Having read all of the raving reviews I had to try some. While calling stores all over the nation I found that everyone was out of every Esoterica blend. All but one. He happened to...

    Photobucket Changes Terms of Service

    I just noticed that all of the images I've posted since being here (all hosted by photobucket) are now not available. They've discontinued and 3rd party image sharing for the free accounts and now demand $100 a year for such a service. So, here's my gripe and frustration with this entire...

    The Mancave Get's a Make-Over.

    Guys, I think I've posted a couple of pictures, over the last few months, of my modest little mancave. It is my home office that I had fitted with a high velocity whisper quiet exhaust fan that allows me to enjoy my pipes and cigars. My son and pipe pal Nick sits up with me a few times a week...

    Penzance

    As the title implies, this thread is about Penzance. 18+ year old Penzance to be exact. You all may remember that back in April my son Nick and I went to the TAPS pipe show in Raleigh. While there one of the things I picked up was a pristine tin of Penzance. The older gentleman selling it...

    My First Pipe !

    Ok, ok, not really, but sort of...... As some of you here may know, my very first pipe was given to me by a dear friend and mentor, a retired U.S. Marine General, back in 1982 while I was stationed in Pensacola FL. It was a Dr. Grabow Bent Bulldog. Sadly for me, somewhere over the years and...

    Gonna visit the Dr. Grabow Pipe Factory in Sparta NC

    As I assume many of you here may have done, I've joined a few different pipe smokers forums. A couple of weeks ago I came across a Dr. Grabow site... http://drgrabows.myfreeforum.org/ Like here, there are a lot of really nice folks that love their pipes. As it turns out one of the members...

    In Search of a Few Good Spreadsheets

    As some of you all here know, although I started smoking pipes back in 1982, I only really got into them this past October. Since then my Briar Stable and my Tobacco Cellar have both experienced exponential growth. (we won't talk about my available discretionary income ??? ) What you may not...

    Smoking in the rain... Sort of

    Ok, ok, it is raining and I am smokin my briars, but I am sittin up in the mancave. 8) As I've mentioned here before, my mancave started out as my home office. It is located in the attic space above the media room and master suite addition we built onto our house about 10 years ago. While we...

    C. B. Perkins Tobacco Questions.

    Hello all, I recently acquired 29 jars of C.B. Perkins Tobacco... http://pipesmagazine.com/forums/topic/hello-my-name-is-dino-amp-i-have-tad As my other post indicates, my initial reason for buying these was to get the jars. But I've learned that all but 3 or 4 of the jars are over 1/2 full of...

    Hello. My name is Dino & I have TAD.

    Being the relative noob here @ PM, I realize that my modest pipe stable and tobacco crawl space (not big enough to be a cellar :P ) are really nothing more than a "good start" compared to the briar & leaf collection many of you here have amassed. Not being one to shy away from a challenge I am...

    My Latest Before and After

    I've been eyballin the Savanelli Author 320 KS for some while now. Last week I found a decent looking one that had a O.B.O. on it. After a few offers and counter-offers we settled on what I thought was an acceptable price. Well, it just arrived in the mail today at the office. Couldn't wait to...

    Packing Lighter & Smoking Drier

    As I've mentioned on other sites, and possibly here, although I've been smoking a pipe off and on since 1982 I recently got into piping in a pretty big way. Voracious for knowledge on restoring/refurbing pipes, tobacco blends & techniques, I've read everything I can get on the matters. As many...

    My First Yabo... A FABO?

    Being a noob here and recently getting back into piping, I haven't had an opportunity to really get to know many folks out there in the Briar Brotherhood. As some of you may recall, my son Nick and I had an opportunity to attend the TAPS 20th Annual Pipe & Tobacco Expo weekend before last. After...
