    Buyer Beware: Leftturnvintage On Ebay

    In the 1930s, Dunhill put brindle stems on their Root Briars. The actual “Cumberland” series, which featured a brindle stem, started in 1978-1979, and because of this line of pipes, brindle and Cumberland became synonymous.

    Buyer Beware: Leftturnvintage On Ebay

    I believe they removed that option recently in cases like these. I can’t find it anywhere.

    Buyer Beware: Leftturnvintage On Ebay

    Just a heads up, fellow pipesmokers! This morning I won an auction on eBay for a beautiful 1937 Dunhill billiard. I was astounded to see that the auction ended at $26.00 with free shipping. The pipe was in excellent condition and the photos were fantastic. Every detail, including all the...

    Deep Cleaning Pipe…without Alcohol?

    I use warm tap water, closer to hot than warm, but not full heat. I use a toothbrush inside the bowl after reaming, and a gun brush and a shank brush inside the airway. If there’s buildup in there, various pointed tools can carefully scrape it away, and last resort is to use a drill bit by hand...

    Deep Cleaning Pipe…without Alcohol?

    I have restored hundreds of estate pipes, some looking more like a tarry clump rather than a pipe, and I now exclusively use water, with better results than anything else I’ve ever done. The trick is to find where the smell is hiding. Usually it is the shank and mortise. Toothbrushes, q-tips...

    Would McClelland Sell Their Recipes and Methods?

    Am I reading this correctly that they “matched” St. James Flake with a slightly aromatic Latakia mixture?! Very strange ?

    Nomenclature OCD - Is Dunhill so Collectible Because of all that Nomenclature?

    Dating is one of the biggest draws to me. Knowing what was happening in the world at the time of the pipe’s creation is fascinating. Especially considering war era pipes and knowing that the shop in London was bombed. Then there is the added fun of knowing if you have a first year of a...

    I got my kids Beast Wars Transformers toys with the same idea haha. I found a Ninja Turtles set too but it’s a bit pricey. Would love to see it in hand again though!
