    Filters; No Filters; and Resting

    Now I have another thought. All my dunhills are estates so maybe that is the reason. Of course I have treated them with salt and alcool and cleaned them very good after the purchase. I've heard that older pipes pay smoke hot but I don't think this is true. I bought the radice new form a highly...

    This sounds very logical indeed.

    I always change the filter after ONE smoke. Thank you for your reply mate.

    I do exactly the same every time. I dry well my tobacco also. And I am not a hot smoker.

    Filters; No Filters; and Resting

    Hello from Greece again. I have a question. In the office I have only one pipe, a filtered Savinelli. I smoke it twice a day with my coffee, except on weekends when I'm away. So on weekdays it does not rest. I clean it carefully and the next day it is ready again and it smokes very nicely. At...

    Zippo Pipe Lighters...Opinions Please!

    Well I tried all the usual options. Matches, Bic classic, Bic EZ, pipe Zippo, classic Zippo, wannabe pipemaster with angled flame (a good knock-off). For my taste the pipe Zippo is the best by far. The matches are obviously the best option when there is less tobacco left in the chamber.

    Showoff Your Dunhill Pipes Here!

    Well the group 4 smokes absolutely fantastic just like the group 3. The group 2 chestnut not so much. Maybe because it has thin walls and gets hot fast. I tried to slow down with little success. All my dunhills are estates.

    Showoff Your Dunhill Pipes Here!

    Another two estate dunhills arrived today. Group 2 and 4. So now I have three smooth straight billiard dunhills, group 2,3,4. I sold the castello to finance the two dunhills. I couldn't justify owning such a pricey pipe so I got two for the same price. Besides the castello was too fancy and...

    Show Us Your Radice Pipes

    Well it took a while to get used to the airy draw and small button. Actually I almost sold it twice but have withdrawn it. Now I consider it my best smoking pipe. Better than my castello and dunhill. It is my first choice pipe for scotch and netflix. With its deep bowl it lasts a whole episode...

    Buy the Best and Cry Once?

    The moral of the story. Just arrived. Also I sold the dunhill but I am gonna keep the castello because it is just perfect. I will buy another dunhill soon though.

    Buy the Best and Cry Once?

    Nice to meet a knife guy from the old good times. I have a farm with edible plants and no animals expect my dogs so my knives had a good use. It took me a decade to realize that all I need was one folder, one fixed blade, a SAK, a couple of axes and a leuku (for cutting thin branches). Without...

    Thank you kindly mate.

    Buy the Best and Cry Once?

    Probably I meant that estate used pipes hold their value as the only two expensive pipes I own are estates.

    Buy the Best and Cry Once?

    Thank you. Only yesterday I found that I only need a cob!

    Yeah that happened to me once 25 years ago. Never again.

    Buy the Best and Cry Once?

    That alone could be the beginning of a whole new conversation but the topic is already fully covered by quite a few other threads. As an occasional cigarette smoker and full time vaper I do inhale but not a lot. Mainly at the first puffs to get the nessecary nicotine buzz. Besides that was maybe...
