    It sure has. They no longer have any pride in their product.

    Sept 2015 Smokingpipes.com Upgrade

    I have given up on them. I was once a very good customer. They are overpriced, understocked and write mendacious sales messages. They also have trouble sending the correct order. Overall, full of it.

    OK Need Your Opinions And Help On Birth Year Dunhill

    I would not make this purchase. The shell is the worst smoking of all the Dunhills, and this pipe is very overpriced.

    Hope for Future Syrian Latakia?

    Judging from the immigration quota, there may be Syrian Lat produced in the USA one day.

    Balkan Sobranie At Iwan Ries

    I tried some of this stuff a few months ago. Must say it has no similarity to the original. You can follow the recipe, but you won't get the same taste because the tobaccos used, while they may have the same names, are not the same. Especially the Lat.

    First Dunhill

    The matter of inner tubes is confusing. They are thin aluminum tubes fitted inside the stem and extending almost to the bowl. They were invented by Dunhill to facilitate cleaning. Just remove the tube and wash it. But when pipe cleaners were invented, they became useless. They make getting a...

    Pipe Smokers Forum

    This is the best pipe site. The pipesmokersforum is boring and more censorious.

    What are your other hobbies?

    Why do I dislike the word hobby? Somehow it is condescending. When I picture that word I imagine a dumbass collecting stamps or mounting butterflies. Pipesmoking is not a hobby to me.

    Peterson Pipe Filings

    I found fillings on a $200 Pete. That is unacceptable. They are no longer a good brand. No pride left in what they do.

    "The Tao of the Corncob Pipe"

    A nice little article on the editorial page of today's N Y Times.

    The Hateful Eight

    Philo: If you like Cardinale, see "The Artist and the Model" on netflix. Great film; she is an old lady in it. As far as Tarantino goes, his films are mildly entertaining. Not really good, but could be a lot worse.

    Smokingpipes.com - How To Win A Customer For Life

    When I discovered the online pipe world I was a good customer of theirs. Since then I have drifted elsewhere. My beefs include their misleading sales pitches (everything is great, rare, and/or wondrous), lack of adequate tobacco stock* and overpriced pipes+. Also a sloppy filling of orders which...

    For short term I put a pound of bulk in a standard cigar humidor.
