Show Off Your Kaywoodie Pipes
HA d many over the years, down to just one, what I assume to be a Brown University 1940 Class Pipe, although Pipedia's article on class pipes by Brian Robertson shows the 1940 Brown pipe as a billiard, mine is a Canadian. Drinkless, Algerian Briar, Suntan. Maybe they had different shapes offered...- recoilrob

Show Off Your Meerschaum Pipes Here!
This pipe would not be anything special except for what was done to it after I bought it and what that caused.... I bought it in 1998 from Fine Olde Briars which was run by Steve Abrams and Rob Denholz here in NY, they were members of The Hudson Valley Pipe Club (HVPC) of which I was a member...- recoilrob

Culling the Herd: Anyone Else Feel the Need to do So?
Buying is easy, selling is hard. When I started collecting I could purchase 2-3 a week on eBay, no worries. When it came time to sell, 2-3 a week was work. At it's peak I probably had close to 250-300 pipes in my collection, it took several years to get that back down under 100 and it's ongoing.- recoilrob

What are Your Thoughts on Pot Shaped Pipes? Pros, Cons
Never liked the shape but got a few estates. Tried them, seemed to smoke hot for me, off they went. I found a cased Dunhill Magnum pot from the 30's at an "antique" shop once, that was neat but too much tobacco for one sitting. -
What Turned You on to Pipes?
I had always smoked cigars but in the mid1990's they really took off in price. One day a friend came home from a tag sale with a rack of pipes, most were common but there was an old Dunhill "cherrywood" style poker and a Dunhill billiard. The pipes came with an old pouch of some tobacco...- recoilrob

Thoughts On Special 50th Birthday Pipe.
Some 1970's on eBay.... Uncommon shape, ask for some more pics, opening bid is high but you always make an offer... This shows you need a careful eye, seller states it's a 1960 but's a 1970. Too bad shank was cracked... -
Thoughts On Special 50th Birthday Pipe.
BROBS is entitled to his opinion but it seems a bit severe to say any Dunhill made after 1969 is shitty. There are plenty of knowledgeable Dunhill collectors that have post 1969 pipes in their collections. There were bad Dunhills before 1969 and excellent Dunhills after 1969, a few of which I... -

Thoughts On Special 50th Birthday Pipe.
Years ago I became enamored of a birth year pipe (1955) so I started looking on eBAy. In the early days they were not as many pipes on eBAy as now (these days anyone with a deceased father/uncle sells the pipes on eBay) so it took me about a year to find a good one. Eventually as the market... -

Wind Caps??
Dunhill has done nice work with wind caps in the past. The chimney one weighs too much and isn't practical, the Sherlock, not too bad.- recoilrob

Anyone Have an Old Cornell & Diehl List from the Late 1990's?
OK, a friend from the HVPC, Dave Ruth used The Wayback Machine and found this from 1999. 968A is ORIENT EXPRESS, 1/2 Odessa and 1/2 Pirate Kake, and the P is for pressed. Thanks Dave! #968 Odessa Cavendish cut burley, Turkish, Latakia and Perique. Similar to the old Balkan Sobranie White...- recoilrob

Anyone Have an Old Cornell & Diehl List from the Late 1990's?
OK 970 is Pirate Kake, then this may have been a variation on that, perhaps a touch less Latakia. Pisses me off that I was cleaning up a few weeks back and through out and old flyer from them. Google shows the current 968 to be Odessa, a Balkan Sobranie clone, but in the back of my head the AP...- recoilrob

Famous Living Pipe Smokers
Keith Richards lives about 15 miles away from me in CT. Some years ago I stopped into a small antique/thrift shop near us and asked if they had any old tobacco pipes. I was told Keith had purchased them the previous week, that he occasionally stopped in and asked for them. 3,2,1...- recoilrob
