    Irishsmokers Christmas Present

    I have a 3 year old rat right now. Can't believe he has made it this long and no cancer lumps at all! Rats are great pets and train really easily. Enjoy your new friend.

    Stephen Colbert...Pipe Smoker

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipe_Smoker_of_the_Year Yep, it was done at one time but Stephen Fry was the last to be named by British Pipesmokers' Council in 2003. The list looks to be almost nothing but Brits (For obvious reasons), so it would be cool to see a more international award.

    Thoughts?

    I'm sure your brother will be to excited about getting a pipe as a present to worry much over whether or not the pipe is "his style". After all it really is the thought that matters.

    Show Us Your Favorite Coffee or Tea Mug

    Here is mine. The wife got a "Himself & Herself" set when she was in Ireland.

    The one that got away!

    What a beaut! I also took note of this one when it came in. Those Cavicchi rusticated pipes go quick.

    Has Peterson Quality Really Declined?

    My first new pipe was a Peterson Aran bulldog. The fit and finish seemed good to me and it smoked well. But I couldn't stand the P-Lip so I have recently sent it in with hopes of getting some tins in exchange for it. My wife bought me a Peterson green churchwarden last Christmas and as rigmedic1...

    Thanksgiving Score!

    This is the most complete site I have found on the subject and is also where I'm getting the whole number in a circle from. http://pipephil.eu/logos/en/dunhill/shell-briar1.html My stamp is very similar to the sixth pipe down, but as previously mentioned lacks a number within the circle? I think...

    Thanksgiving Score!

    @Loneredtree, perhaps you misunderstood. There is no number in the circle. Group five or six sounds right as it is a hefty chunk of briar. It's not that I need to know, I was just curious if the empty circle was on purpose to indicate something. @Fnord, thanks for the offer but I have a five...

    Thanksgiving Score!

    @Uber, had an advantage with the diet as I have never enjoyed the taste of meat. To the pipe, I thought it might help to spell out all the nomenclature I can decipher on the pipe. What follows is an approximation of the stamp on the shank. LB F / DUNHILL MADE IN / T SHELL...

    Just finished a bowl of Dark English blend in my newly obtained 61' Dunhill billiard.

    Thanksgiving Score!

    @Uber, I'm not a vegan but a vegetarian. My wife and I don't own a car and live 5 hours drive from our family. We have been doing the potluck since it started 6 years ago. It's a great way to eat a lot and only prepare one or two dishes. The biggest benefit is being able to eat everything...

    Thanksgiving Score!

    Came home from my sixth Vegan Thanksgiving Potluck with more then just leftovers this year. A friend of mine who also attends, owns a antique store in Neguanee and happens to collect pipes. His real passion is American patent pipes from the 20's and 30's, so he was willing to part with a Dunhill...
