Sasieni Perfect Ten (Ten Dot)
Yo cshu - nice pix and story on your TEN. I have a few Sasienis, including a very recent, non-pedigreed one that actually is an excellent puffer. Those old Britwoods are favorites of mine, since they are often smaller, making for a right-sized smoke for me, and being well seasoned as well as...- lestrout

Samuel Gawith Virginia Shootout
Yo rush - very nice writeup. I find BBF to me more consistent that FVF. Some of my best smokes have been with FVF, but sometimes a bowl is just so-so. hp les- lestrout

Philly's Morley's PC Wednesday 18Mar 7:00pm
Our March Morley's isn't quite the Ides of March, being the 3rd Wednesday again - 18Mar. 7:30pm at the Pen & Pencil Club as usual. But the kitchen situation is still unsettled, so don't count on meal service. However, there will be plenty of libations and tobacco available. We can compare tales...- lestrout

1943 Dunhill Shell
Yo Alask Great score. I got a 1944 Dunnie several years ago, and it came with a horn stem. Gary Malmberg had it and he told me the war years indeed curtailed the supply of rubber products. The deal was that Dunhill pressed horn into service, but that when the war ended, an owner could have... -

Has Anyone Ever Heard of an Emperor Norton Pipe?
Yo Yerb - before Grant's on Market St closed (SanFran) they had a full English blend named after Emperor Norton. Grant's sold pipes with the shop's name on them, and some of them were supplied from the likes of Comoy. Maybe your pipe is from them. hp les -

Estate Pipes in NYC
A hack that improves your negotiating position if you go the thrift shop route is to ask not about pipes, but rather about pipe racks. When they get racks in, they usually have pipes in them. hp les- lestrout

If You are Wanting a Nice Pipe from Sante's Estate
EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) - Bob If you are after a nice pipe from Sante Giuliani's collection, one of his very good friends is helping out his widow. He has been putting them, a few at a time, on EBay. His Seller name is lumpyslures (mind the 2 "S"'s) and for a non-pipe... -

Our first meeting of the decade will be the third Wednesday, 15Jan. As usual we will be at the Pen & Pencil Club at 7:00pm, for pipes, conversations, served drinks and hot cooked to order meals.

Short Question About Wessex Tobacco
Yo bur It's not uncommon for brands being made explicitly for export markets to be unavailable in the home country of manufacture. Witness the (un)availability of the fabled Esoterica in Jersey, or for that matter, the entire U.K. However, some detective work may determine that some of your...- lestrout

Top Shelf VA Flakes?
I'm with hoosier - whatever the chemistry mechanism, something similar happens with red wines. It is well known that the wine flavor improves once you pull the cork and let the wine sit and air out for 20 minutes or so. Some fanciers use decanters for the same reason. It is also well known...- lestrout

Due to holiday scheduling, December's Morley's is this Wednesday, the 18th, rather than the usual 3rd Thursday. A couple cars' worth of members went up to the Northeast Slow Smoke Event/Kaywoodie Holiday Party, resulting in some goodies coming home. Bill Bell also went to the PSD meetup at...- lestrout
