Your Top Five Burley Blends
VaBurs deserve their own thread IMO. You get into stuff like GH Brown and Rum Flakes all the way into stouter fare like GH Dark Flake, 1792 and Rattray's Stirling Flake and I really can't talk about them in the same breath as Burleys. VaBurs are an indispensable sub-category and I usually end my...- sisyphus

What Is So Great About Castellos
they turn out consistently good smokers and your likelihood of being disappointed with one is low. Their briar is sweet to neutral and they drill the airway generously. They have their own house style that is often copied. there is nothing important that separates a good smoking $50 Kaywoodie...- sisyphus

How Many Bowls Do You Smoke?
my palate can take about 4, spaced out through the day a bowl of burley with coffee, another after lunch, a bowl of Va after dinner which takes a couple hours to get through, and a nightcap of something strong in a small bowl shape- sisyphus

Self-Isolation Restorations #8 - 1910 Loewe
I'd consult with an able restorer and get their opinion on that. My personal feeling on that matter is that if I have to modify the pipe from its original configuration to be happy with it, I never will be.- sisyphus

Self-Isolation Restorations #8 - 1910 Loewe
the pipe has issues that would keep it from bringing top dollar. I don't know, I'd say you'd get $150 or so on ebay, maybe you'd get lucky and catch the guy that wanted a hallmarked Dublin and get $200. Reverse of that is no one is buying because economy is trashed and it sells for $50.- sisyphus

Purchase of New Dunhill (Whitespot) Concerns and Questions
as always the usual suspects pipe in with misinformation and a bias against Dunhill. This topic has been covered ad nauseum here and elsewhere. There is a wealth of good information from people like Al and myself, even Dave who I don't particularly care for but he knows what he's talking about...- sisyphus

Pricey Pipes.
The first sentence yes, The rest I don't agree with at all. You will spend what you can afford on pipes. If that means Falcons and cobs then they're still worth talking about. If you want a Jess Chonowitsch and you can afford it, who is anyone else to say you shouldn't? I have a Loewe I bought... -
If HU Tobacco Was Available At Smokingpipes.com, Would You Order It?
it's available now, and if a US distributor picked it up it would be as scarce as Esoterica and Germain. I'm in the no camp, leave it the way it is so I can keep buying it.- sisyphus
