    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...

    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.

    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...

    Armellini Wax-Sealed “Chastity Twine” To Verify Unsmoked Status

    I use to see dozens of pipes with a thin wire rope sealed with a lead seal at Tobacco Road in the Dayton’s Arcade in Mpls in the 70’s and very early 80’s. I think I remember seeing pipes in a fancy blue boxes with a gold nylon string and blue plastic seal down a few doors on Nicollet Mall at...

    Chicago 2024: Who's going?

    Thanks! I Will. IMO $50 bucks is a great value for 4 days of smoke filled fun.

    P&T Magazine Index - Working On It

    I was a charter subscriber that will be nice. I know l’ve spent time in the davecave looking though years of issues looking for stuff. The only one I have memorized is the Castello issue with Dave Berg in the cover. P&T was a blessing and we were lucky to have had it. It was Dayton’s (RIP)...

    White Spots on Meerschaum- What?

    From experience be careful using that blow dryer. I messed up the tenon on my Dunhill meer melting the wax off.

    Show Us Your Pipe Cabinet

    I finally got this Two Cousins 28 count pipe rack with storage permanently mounted here in SoAZ. I like that I can spin around in my chair to access it. This Thomas Cristiano (RIP) 200 count case that you’ve seen before is back in WI.

    So Sad

    LaCrosse is a college town with lots of taverns near the Mississippi River. For a time there were so many drownings that the school posted volunteer river watchers in Riverside Park at bar time.

    Nicotine or Relaxation?

    Relaxation! After almost 40 years I’ve never woke up needing a smoke but I have woken up to check eBay and checked a pipe in transit. I’ve been living a smoke filled life at PCA here in Vegas and I left the convention center a little queasy from the smoke.

    IAPSC vs. UPCA

    Sorry Double Post

    IAPSC vs. UPCA

    I think the UPCA is the primary governing group for the USA and sponsors the US Pipe Smoking Championship that follows the world rules. The IASPC is the very long time group from Michigan that has their own rules and championship. Ask @lestrout

    Peterson or IM Corona

    Both are low price Dunhill knock offs but I know the Corona Old Boy is repairable.

    Jan Zeman Pipes

    I know the name but with many carvers their value comes from personal relationships from shows, social media and pipe boards.
