    New to Me 1950 Dunny Bruyere Bulldog

    Just received this 1950 Dunhill Bruyere Patent Bulldog from Dave Neeb. His pictures (nor, do mine) don’t reflect the actual condition of this pipe. This is, by far, my oldest pipe and I’m thrilled with its condition. Chamber is pretty much perfect. The weight and balance are spot on...

    Five Brothers Burley

    1st crack at Five Brothers Burley in my little Stanwell 86. I’m no tobacco reviewer, so please forgive an amateur attempt at it. This tobacco has a reputation for being very strong and absolutely untouched with any toppings or additives. Out of the pouch, it is super long fine shag. It’s...

    New Raw Stanwell 32 Bulldog Stained with Coconut Oil

    Yesterday, I received a new Stanwell 32 Bulldog in the "Authentic" (Raw) type. It was pretty cheap and I've been wanting to test using Coconut Oil (unscented/unflavored) as a stain for pipes. I used this oil to stain a custom box made for holding Pipe Accessories and liked how it came out. I...

    Order From Europe Taking a Tour of the United States East Coast

    I ordered a new Dunhill from Smoking Pipes EU site and I’ve never seen tracking movement like this before. Originated in Ireland and took 4-5 days before it got on a plane. It landed in New York City and made it into the USPS system. From there, it went to CT, then NJ, on to MD, and then DC...

    1st Estate Pipe Purchase Has a Demon of a Lakeland Ghost!

    I've been smoking pipes for all of about 5 years now and never really had any interest in purchasing Estate Pipes because I think my expectations are always too high. Other than searching for that perfect birth year Dunhill, I'd decided that estates were not for me. I'm the same way with cars...

    Chemical Smell and Taste in My Altinok Meer

    EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) I worked with Altinok and had a pipe made for me to match a pipe previously listed on his site, This pipe has always had a strange chemical smell and taste and has never gone away after 15 or so bowls. I've run water and alcohol through it many...

    Track Day Junkies or Car Enthusiasts Here?

    Did motorcycle track days for years. Sold my bikes and took a hiatus. Just went back to the track with a car, for the 1st last Sunday. Was a blast and now I’m feeling the itch to make it a regular thing!

    5.2mm Bore Excessive?

    I’ve been searching for a birth year Dunhill for about a year now. Rarely do I find any that catch my eye. I’m not going to buy just any 1975... Any way, a friend mentioned he saw a 1975 bent bull dog at one of the European sites. It was stunning and the best I’d seen. I was actually in the...

    Lines/Veins in Block Meerschaum Pipes

    I recently purchased my 1st Meerschaum Pipe. A block merschaum in a smooth Tomato shape. This was purchased from a very well known Meerschaum seller and was made at my request. I saw a very similar pipe that had very previously sold on the site and requested to have another made in it's...

    What is the Aromatic you keep in your Rotation?

    At the moment, I really only smoke one aromatic in a dedicated briar. Typically, this is a once in a blue moon smoke, but I’ve discovered that I can smoke this in my truck occasionally on the commute home and ithe smell clears pretty quickly. For the most part, I smoke Burley Flakes and a few...

    Dunhill Blends to Return? - Hearsay

    I was in my local pipe shop yesterday afternoon, poking around to see what he had in tins. I was pretty shocked to find 2 tins of Royal Yacht and a few other Dunhill tobacs. He was not previously a Dunhill shop so I asked about the tins, which were priced at standard retail. He mentioned that...

    New Member from Bay Area, California

    Hello all, I've been pipe smoking for a couple years now, but not an everyday for me. Maybe only a couple times month mixed with cigars. I'm primarily over at Puff, but find myself coming here to pipes magazine quite frequently when seraching for information on pipes or tobacco. Thought it...
