    Tamper Exchange

    It's been 3 weeks since CJ sent the tamper here to the UK and it still hasn't turned up :( How long does shipping normally take from USA to UK? Never seen a 30-06 brass casing either :( I'm not holding much hope for it to turn up now though...

    Issue With Gloredo Pipe Cleaners

    Anything "Made in China" is guaranteed to be terrible quality. Anything "Made in Japan" Is guaranteed to be the best quality.

    Cigar Taste vs Pipe Taste

    I find, to get the most flavour out of a pipe, always smoke it outside in fresh air, when there is a slight breeze and when the day is cooler - the flavours come out of nowhere and you get the full taste of tobaccos. This is more for subtle aromatics, but the difference is amazing.

    My 3 New Savi Boys + TAD (PICS)

    Don't use filters there buddy, just the adaptor. If I use the filters I'd use them once then bin it, I strip the pipe and clean it good, I don't want a stale old tarred up filter in a clean pipe, they are so cheap it seems a crime to not give a new bowl a clean filter. Up to you, and I...

    Refilling Butane Question.

    We can also get Zippo Blu, again, heard poor reviews from the Americans, but us Brits don't care and use any rubbish. Pipe smoking isn't anything like it is in the US, most settle with matches or a cheap Bic. Most people will use Swan or Ronson butane (the most common and well known butane in...

    Refilling Butane Question.

    I can get my hands on, Dupont, Dunhill, Colibri and Newport, I have heard bad things about Colibri, not much on Dupont and Newport. I just chose Dunhill because of their reputation. At £4.19 ($6.57) for 90ml, YES 90ml! I hoped it wouldn't clog the Old Boy!

    Refilling Butane Question.

    I have done many Google searches for Xikar butane UK etc and it's all American companies. Where did you read they are a British company?

    Refilling Butane Question.

    Hi Rothn, I contacted both the companies you mentioned last time. I spoke to Lindsay and said she doesn't deal with butane and the other number, no one answered. I have looked all over the sites and called numerous companies, none of which sell Xikar butane? In fact Lindsay spoke to me as if I...

    Tamper Exchange

    Thanks Winton, yours too is a thing of beauty! I want to get a lathe to do wood work, but I know nothing about them (mine was done with a Steven Wade Cox Bush craft knife and sand paper) The brass actually has quite a lot of sentimental value to me, I shot my first clay many moons ago with a...

    Refilling Butane Question.

    I use Dunhill Butane, It's very expensive, but know this doesn't always mean quality. I have heard a few problems with Zippo Blu butane so I didn't get it. Sadly here in the UK our butane is rubbish! Anyone had experience with Dunhill Butane? I guess it can't be bad, Dunhill recommend you use...
