    Pipe / Tobacco Art???

    Hi, I am looking for some nice tobacco / pipe themed art for my office and smoking room, but it is harder to find than I would have thought. Any suggestions on where to look? thanks for your help Matt

    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???

    [/url][/img]Hi, I recently purchased a Dunhill that has some unique markings. I know that there have been a myriad of markings on Dunhills over the years but I wanted to get your opinion. thanks Matt

    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

    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???

    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...

    Favorite Cube Cut Tobacco Blend????I

    What is your favorite cube cut tobacco blend? I recently tried GL Pease Barbary Coast and really liked it. While I do really like the blend itself as a fan of burley blends, I think that some of my liking is due to the cube cut, in that the gravity pack method requires little skill and is...

    Another Tobacco Storage Question...???

    Hi, I know there have been a lot of questions about tobacco storage. The consensus seems to be mason jars. I have purchased a bunch of mason jars and have them in my closet where it is dark and about 65-70 degrees (don't have a cellar or someplace cooler). I have been disappointed in the...

    Truly "Reliable" That You Can Always Count On????

    What blends do you consider to be consistently reliable? I ask this question because there are some blends that I smoke that are just fantastic some days, but really not on other days, depending on my palate, the pack, the moisture content, etc. Others I find to be much more consistently...

    Robust Cigars to Complement Robust Pipe Tobaccos???

    I was an occasional smoker for nearly 20 year and liked both pipes and cigars, but probably enjoyed cigars more; however, I never really knew a lot about either. I just knew what I liked and didn't. Over the last year I have gotten pretty serious about smoking and gravitated more toward the...

    Favorite Dark Fired Tobacco???

    This is somewhat of a follow up to my previous post about favorite burley. I am starting to different burleys. I now have a whole list of burleys to try. How about those burleys (and others) that are dark fired? I really like Old Dark Fired. What others do you recommend that are similar...

    Favorite Burley Blends???

    What are your favorite Burley blends? I have come to really like Old Dark Fired and Mac Barrens HH Burley London blend (no longer made unfortunately). Tried both Jackknife plug and Cumberland and did not like them. thanks Matt

    Nasonex and effect on pipe smoking???

    I know this may seem like a strange post at first...however, here is my question. I have allergies and take various allergy meds. They help a lot. One of the meds that my doctor put me on in the last few months is Nasonex, which is a steroid nose spray. I wonder if this has an impact on my...

    Big and Bold English and Balkan Blends ????

    What blends do you like that you would consider to be full flavored? I am not necessarily asking just for ones that you consider to be a "Lat Bomb" as I think a blend does not necessarily have to be a Lat bomb in order to be full flavored. I am enjoying experimenting with various blends, but...

    Peterson Limerick Pipe Series?

    Anyone know anything about this line of pipes? Where do they line uup in terms of grade quality with their current offerings? thanks Matt

    Adding an Avatar???

    Can anyone help me on this...I tried adding an avatar and it kept trying to make me crop the picture to something that amounted to about a one inch square from the original photo. Then it would not allow me to move where that cropped area would be. I assume maybe my file size is too big...

    Corona Old Boy....

    I bought an Old Boy based on all the great things I had heard and read about them. I have to say that it is a nice lighter, but I find the flame adjustment to be a bit vexing. For me it seems that you have three possible settings: on, off, and blow torch. Nothing much in between. I would...
