    Stoved Virginia Blends?

    Don’t want to steer the thread from “Stoved” but I enjoy the Red VA in Winchester and had read that Yorktown is two Stoved Virginia’s, a light and a red and then red va added for sweetness. Is Derringer stoved?

    Encouraging New Pipe Smokers

    My hygienist was appalled at the staining. I told her I drink lots of strong black coffee and tea. She earned her pay that day.

    Pipe smoking and diet

    Amazes me how anyone feels that they’re getting out of here alive. Healthy people are going to feel awfully silly one day, laying in bed dying of absolutely nothing. Moderation is always a sound policy. Anything in excess can be harmful. “Too much of a good thing”

    Best with Coffee...

    Any Burley. Personally, Pegasus. A woman left her shopping list in her cart. It read simply, “Coffee and stuff to have with Coffee.” I ran to the parking lot but she was already gone! But I now know my Soulmate… She’s out there.

    Birth year Dunhills?

    People who don’t smoke pipes recognize the name, Dunhill. People who don’t own Swiss Watches recognize the name Rolex. That is the result of brilliant marketing strategies by the founders of each. While this is true… It is also true that these products would not have stood the test of time…...

    Birth year Dunhills?

    Dunhill is to Pipedom as Rolex is to Watches… a quality product which enjoys the most recognizable brand. There are better pipes than Dunhill and better watches than Rolex. Yet, when one wishes to celebrate a milestone, they’re likely to buy a Rolex with an eye toward its quality and passing...

    Birth year Dunhills?

    That’s not necessarily true. Originally it was 1962, then 1964 then 1968 was the cutoff. Dunhill has always produced a high quality product but, as others have opined; it’s a pipe. Nothing mystical. Circa 1970, Dunhill decided that the Shell Briars should now be “shiny black” so gone was the...

    Struggling Coming Back after a Hiatus

    You’re building a continuous, smoldering fire. You have a combustible (tobacco) and it needs airflow. One day you may have an easy time and the next day, doing exactly the same, you find your pipe repeatedly going out. -Weather does that day to day. High Humidity vs a Cool, Crisp day. I...
