So now I have a Bulldog
Oxidation, but that will soon be cleaned. And ssjones and I came to the same conclusion. I searched and eventually found that this was part of the around the world series as well, the one commemorating Ireland. Grizz -

So now I have a Bulldog
The weather was better than expected and we went to a vineyard and I smoked in the designated outside area while enjoying some fine wine. NY just legalized pot, maybe some of the rules on tobacco will be loosened as well. Grizz -

So now I have a Bulldog
I blame Johnny_Pipecleaner and his recent thread asking about everyone's favorite bulldog pipe. I didn't have a bulldog, never felt I needed a bulldog, and really never even looked closely at bulldogs until I was perusing his thread. This past weekend we went on a short vacation to Ithaca NY... -

The six dollar Dunhill!
I thought i might give an update on the six estate pipes now that I've had a chance to smoke them all. The Dunhill: It is a great smoke. I'm not sure why, but it smoked much drier than my usual bowl. It is definitely the smallest pipe in my collection, I generally need 2X or 3x gloves and I... -

The six dollar Dunhill!
I never expected to own a Dunhill, out of my budget. It's not a shape I am particularly drawn too, I like big hand filling pipes. That said it smoked remarkably well and there are times a light small pipe would be nice. Not for sale, it's got a home. Grizz -

The six dollar Dunhill!
I promise to post pictures later tonight. I went to an estate sale with a large box of pipes marked "$6 each" about 20 pipes. I was tempted to just take the box to the cashier to make an offer for all, as I immediately noticed a Falcon, and I've always wanted to try one. Instead I pulled out my... -

Preferred Pipe Shape
I don't have a preferred shape, but I have a very preferred size, BIG. I'm not talking about the smoking chamber, but the outside of the stummel. I have big hands, 3xl gloves, and don't clench, so weight is pretty much a non-issue. I like a big handfilling pipe. I like the feel of freehand or... -

The Advantages of "Too Many" Pipes (Or "Too Few")
I want to send you a big Thank You! You have just provided me with a rational to expand my collection! Doesn't everyone need a 'Beach' Pipe? A 'Mountain Vacation' Pipe, a 'Camping' Pipe, goodness the possibilities are endless. Grizz -

The Advantages of "Too Many" Pipes (Or "Too Few")
Once upon a time I had many pocketknives, close to a hundred, heck maybe more than a hundred. (Most of them cost at least fifty dollars, some nearly $500.) I finally looked in the mirror and decided that owning a closet full of unused pocketknives was pretty ridiculous. After all I carry just... -

Favourite Drink Pairing?
It's been a tough year for alot of people. I am glad to hear that you are improving! I too find distractions that get me out of my head are good for my mental health. Grizz- GDWTVB

Loss of Taste (Not COVID Related)
I am kinda new to pipe smoking too. Although I first smoked a pipe over thirty years ago, my total number of bowls smoked might be less than a hundred total. I find it wonderful, but it mostly falls into the special treat category of activities for me, like eating a banana split. A banana split...- GDWTVB
