    Showoff Your Dunhill Pipes Here!

    That Hallmark is for 1970, which I think would fit correctly with a 1971 pipe.

    Price drops on all pipes. Pick yourself up an early Christmas present (or a secret Santa gift for that special Som Besths!).

    Mustard

    If you can get Colman's Mustard over there, try it. If you can get the powder, even better.

    Singleton & Cole price lists

    For anyone interested, here are some Singleton & Cole price lists from 1960. The most interesting thing is the whole host of other random things you could buy from them in 1960!

    Nording apple - £45 £38 Stem is pretty significantly oxidised.

    Peterson 'LIMITED EDITION' - £80 £70 This one's a bit of a mystery - stamped 'LIMITED EDITION', but not a POTY. Since there were other pipes in the collection made for our pipe club (including another Peterson stamped with the club name) my working assumption is that that is the reason for the...

    Hap plateau briar - £85 £75 The stem is pretty badly oxidised. This is another Czech artisan pipe.

    Ashton 2008 sitter with silver band - £120 £100 Some oxidation on the stem and rim darkening. This was the very last year of Bill Taylor production (I believe)

    I'm selling a number of pipes on behalf of someone in my pipe club. The pipes are in my possession, so please ask if you want any extra photos or information, but bear with me if you want to make an offer. Prices are all in GBP, PayPal F&F. I am happy to post anywhere in the world, but please...

    Feedback Loop Disintegration, Anyone?

    Have you ever read The Chosen by Potok? It's amazing how studying Torah and Talmud can do exactly what you've described, and make people more skeptical, and really hone critical thinking. Judaism must be one of the few religions to have questioning right at the heart (four questions at Passover...

    Peterson Christmas Pipe Release

    I thought these were underwhelming when I first saw them; now I've seen the issues with the finish in doubly sure I won't be getting one! Are Peterson using up their stocks of this rustication so they can replace it with the cobble finish?

    Tres Tripel Comparison!

    Having just googled to check I wasn't talking bollocks, it seems to be called Westvleteren 12 (I could have sworn it used to be called '10', no idea where I got that from!), and lots of people think they are actually quite different. I missed a ferry a few years ago in order to get some, and...

    Tres Tripel Comparison!

    I've never thought of Orval as a triple - it's one of my favourite beers, it's so distinctive. If you can get it, St Bernadus 12 (the blue label) is very good, and is made to the same recipe and with the same water as Westvleteren 10, which regularly gets voted 'best beer in the world'.

    Player's Navy Cut

    There's definitely a sweet, fresh, almost tongue-tingly note to it - although that might just be the rust in mine! I think there probably was once a boozy top note of some sort. I'll be interested to know what you make of it when you smoke it!
