    Filter Adapter for Dunhill Pipe???

    Hi, I recently bought a very nice Dunhill online, but it appears to need a filter. I have tried two different adapters and neither worked--a Vauenn 9mm adapter (too big) and a Savenelli 6mm adapter which seemed to be the right diameter but was too long. Can anyone tell me if there is a...

    Unique Dunhill Markings???

    Thanks for the info. As to the shape, the shape number on the left of the pipe shows 710, the 290 number on the right side is an anomaly to me as is the number 1 above it. The number 1 is not as confusing to me as the 290 under it. I also just noticed that the zero in the 290 is a strange...

    C&D Mississippi Mud???

    I recently got a tin of this. I have only smoked a couple of bowls, but it is a peculiar blend to me and just wanted to see if anyone else had similar experiences. It is initially a very rich, smoky, latakia-forward blend. However, after a few minutes it develops a peppery tinge that is like...

    Dunhill Pipes with No Model Number Stamp???

    Hi I have a Dunhill pipe that has no model number stamped on it. I have had at least one other that was lacking a model number stamp. I find this curious that they didn't stamp the model number on it. Can anyone explain this or provide more info? Thanks Matt Edited by jvnshr: Title...

    Bore Diameters and Impact on Packing

    Hi, Thanks for the responses; however, I don't think anyone understood my question. My question was not focused on the virtues of bigger or smaller bore and how one would smoke significantly different from another. My question was about packing a bigger bore vs. a smaller bore and if there...

    Bore Diameters and Impact on Packing

    As a follow up to this post, most of the blends that have given me trouble in the larger bore pipes are finer cut ribbons. Are bigger bores better suited to chunkier and less compressible blends? thanks Matt

    Bore Diameters and Impact on Packing

    Trying this a second time...hopefully not a double post... I have been experimenting over the last couple of years with different pipes and bore diameters. My current pipes range from .71 to .83. Still trying to decide what I prefer. I guess I like about.75 inches, but I have some really nice...

    How do I "dull down" a Gaudy Laquer Finish???

    Hi, I found a really nice Peterson pipe (a 1999 4th of July pipe, XL90) that I bought on ebay, but when I arrived it had a gaudy lacquer finish that was not evident in the pictures. It truly has beautiful grain so I would like to keep it, but only if I can remove some of the excessive shine...

    Air Purifiers for Indoor Smoking Odors???

    Ideally I would like to smoke in my living room but I don't know if that would ever fly with the wife. An aromatic might help, but still not sure she would go for that and I am not a huge fan of aromatics. In the meantime I have a small office / guest room. I use a window fan and another small...

    Air Purifiers for Indoor Smoking Odors???

    Hi, I am considering an air purifier machine to help keep the odor down for indoor smoking. Does anyone have any experience? Do they work? If so, which one would you recommend? My wife HATES the smell of smoke so I am looking for something that will allow me to smoke inside without a lot...
