    Bonfiglioli Visit?

    Sally “The Pipe Tart” has been to see him; look her up at her website. I have one of his pipes, excellent smoked.

    A few Questions...Enjoying the Learning Experience

    Try smoking that Black Frigate in a long stem clay, like they used to do on the old tall ships. That’ll shiver your timbers. Clay pipes are very inexpensive too.

    My warm pipes smell of Virginia Periques and Latakia.

    If I Wanted To Live in a Tropical Country, I'd Move to One

    It’s about 90 in the shade here in South Louisiana. Kind of pleasant as long as there is a breeze.

    Warning Labels & Tin Art

    My solution was to keep all my old tins. Then if I want to see the tin art, I can swap lids.

    Is Dunhill Pipe Brand Worth It?

    I have’t seen many Dunhill pipes in person, but the ones I have seen were exceptionally light for their size. Comparable to a meerschaum, let’s say. Now, my 1934 Shell is not as light as that, and the drilling of the chamber is off center, but I have read that the old Dunnies were like that...

    What’s Your Oldest Dunhill?

    My one and only Dunhill is from 1934. Got it for $37.00, and spent $90.00 having a stem made for it. It is a Shell Briar, and appears to be shape known as a chimney. The original stem had been way over buffed, resulting in a paper thin bit. While not the star of my collection, it smokes very...

    Sounds like a great pipe for Virginia Flakes.

    Up or Down?

    All the pipe racks and stands I have are 50’s, 60’s and 70’s, and the bowl is down. Storing the pipes in the open allows them to dry best. The conventional wisdom at the time was for any moisture to drain into the bowl, rather than leave juice to dry on the airway. Back in the beginning, I only...

    What's up! From New York

    Hey! Welcome to the forum. You can’t go wrong with Missouri’s Meerschaum, as far as economical goes. If you want to graduate up to Briar pipes: Briarworks, Peterson, Savinelli, Ropp, Stanwell, all have excellent entry level pipes. The world is your oyster.

    Losing Another Brick & Mortar

    I do hate to see them go, but all good things must end. 50 years is a great run. I have 2 favorite pipes from Bayou. First time I went in there, I didn’t have a pipe with me, but they kept a box of tiny corncob pipes that they gave out for sampling. Always felt welcome there too, as seldom as...

    Do You Smoke A Thousand Dollar Pipe?

    It’s all about the smoking experience for me. The most expensive pipe I have ever purchased has been about $300, and I have a couple of $500 pipes on my wishlist. So far, I have only found a couple of aspects of different pipes that seem to make one pipe a better smoke than another, and that...
