    RIP Jonathan Winters

    When my parents decided to move up from the Bronx in the late 1950's one of the houses they looked at was Jonathan Winter's in Scarsdale NY. They met him and loved the house but could not afford it. They told me he was a delightful man but this is all stories from 40 years ago. Apparently he was...

    Can I Cut a Hacksaw Blade?

    What you need is a gunstock checkering tool. They are about 1/4-1/2" long, come in different groove angles and are set up for handles. Try this.....Google "checkering tools". Dembart is a big, traditional player but there are others. or, if you want to cut a hacksaw blade use a high speed cutoff...

    Gobble Gobble- It's That Time of Year

    Haven't tried in years but will make the effort to get my first this year. I have an unsmoked Eric Nording 2006 Hunting pipe, "The Turkey" waiting to be smoked when I get my first.

    Starting to Use Briarbid.com

    I figured I'd give the guys at Briarbid a go so I'm beginning to list some collectible pipes and tobaccos as well as a complete set of TPSE. Right now I have an enormous unsmoked Jim Cooke Oom Paul.

    Help Dating a Tin of Nightcap

    That does help, thanks you. I am now sure that mine is Denmark production. I have heard that there was another source in the EU after Denmark. Anyone know about that?

    Help Dating a Tin of Nightcap

    I realize that Dunhill tinned blends have had several different sources over the years. I imagine Dunhill did it themselves for a long time and then I think it was taken over by Murray's of Belfast for a while. Were the Murray's tins marked as being made in the UK? After Murrays closed I believe...

    Aged MacBaren's Scottish Mixture Tasting

    I snuck in a bowl of the tinned MBSM myself last week and found it to everything the Scottish Ribbon wasn't, it was smooth but had bright notes. It held up the best of all the tobaccos. The bulk MBSM was OK but dull, the packet was still "green" tasting, and the SR was smooth and a good smoke...

    Aged MacBaren's Scottish Mixture Tasting

    The first envelope was mailed yesterday to Williamstown, MA. Hard for me to put the actual names to the online names. Herbinedave? That you? Anyway, I'll mail them as they come in, if you haven't sent your SASE in yet it will need 65¢, if you already sent it I have the extra stamps. Had my firs...

    Aged MacBaren's Scottish Mixture Tasting

    Some of you may have missed the thread started by papipeguy and the 35 year old tin of MacBaren's Scottish Mixture he found in his parents basement. This gave me the idea to have some members taste old MacBaren's Scottish Mixture (MBSM) from my cellar. The are 7 participants and I hope they give...

    35 Year-Old Tin Of MacBaren's In My Parents' Basement

    I'll take care of it. When everyone has their samples I'll start a separate thread about it. My thought would be to smoke the jarred bulk sample first, then the sample from the sealed packet and finally the one from the sealed tin.

    OK, it's all spoken for, like to see your opinions on what, if any, difference you find among the 3 samples.

    You're in dhizzy, just room for one more left. No need to send something although the offer is appreciated.

    Yep, figured most of you will be sending white business envelopes and I think they may rip if they go through the sorting machine.

    Looking for the 2003 Dunhill Christmas Pipe #207

    Back in 1993 when Dunhill offered it's 12 days of Xmas set I signed up at my local B&M and bought them every year and I owned #207 in the series. In 2003 the store changed managers and the idiot who took over neglected to place the order with Dunhill so myself and 2 other collectors did not get...

    Well, looks like only 4 takers so send a SASE to Rob Di Stasio #10 Glen Drive South Salem, NY 10590-2309 I also found some jars of the same tobacco, MacBarens Mixture, in bulk, that I had bought at the same time as the packets and put into mason jars. I thought it would be interesting to...

    35 Year-Old Tin Of MacBaren's In My Parents' Basement

    I have quite a bit of this MacBarens that's over 20 years old, some in 100g tins and others in sealed 50g packs. I'd be happy to open a pack and send out a 4-5gr. taste to the first 10 people who respond here. You'll just have to send a SASE. When I have the 10 takers I'll tell you where to send...
