Birth Year Pipe
Since I was looking for a Dunhill birth year pipe, what (eventually) worked for me was the following Google search: Dunhill pipe +19?? (Where ?? equaled the birth year.) Most links turned up by this search will be someone's restoration projects or pipes no longer for sale, such as outdated...- greysmoke

Best Kept Secrets
Years ago, I would grab Irish Seconds whenever I could, but Peterson stopped offering them for sale and prices began to spiral upward until they rivaled those of estate Peterson brand pipes. They smoke every bit as well as a Peterson brand, so they can still be a good value if they're... -
Rubber pipe bits
I put them on a few pipes, mostly my Upshalls which tend to have stems made of softer than usual vulcanite, and leave them on.- greysmoke

Squadron Leader ???
I've enjoyed Squadron Leader for the past dozen or so years, and have a half pound or more of bulk with at least 10 years on it. It holds up well, smokes consistently well, and is a steady favorite. I consider it a light to mild English, while Nightcap is a "full English," at least as I...- greysmoke

Solution for Cold Weather Smokers
Here in Chester County, PA, I spend a buck or two in my smoking pod. As winter arrives, I put the soft top up, get my pipe, tobacco, and accessories together, and pull it out of its permanent berth in the garage (where I keep it on a battery tender). I pack and light while sitting in the...- greysmoke

Disco-Era Pipes Were Actually a Thing
I've never associated Freehands with Disco. There was The Pipe and The Smoke series from VENTURI. They were first offered in the late 60's -- which is before the time I associate with disco, at least in the US -- and didn't prove very enduring. There were also the various colored pipe series as...- greysmoke

Core Memory from Traveling?
I used to smoke while traveling. But hotels in the US, EU and UK, where I did my business travels, increasingly restricted smoking. Especially when my travel is booked by my company, and I didn't have a choice of hotels, I often ended up in a non-smoking environment. I enjoyed a puff in my hotel...- greysmoke

Acorn/Pear/Dublin pointers...
At the bottom is a British-made no-name acorn that was my "travel pipe" 20 or so years back, when traveling on business with a pipe was less of a hassle than it is now. I commissioned Mark Tinsky to carve something similar for me in his black and tan finish. He supplied a couple of stems. Mark's...- greysmoke

Any Other Nording Fans Out There?
Although I sold a couple recently, I had a bunch of the Hunter Series. https://www.nordingpipes.com/pipes/hunter I will not part with my '98 and '99s. The 99 is called The Quail. I thought the '98 was called The Beaver -- but on the website linked above it's called The Weaver. Yet the insert...- greysmoke

Country Squire's Middle Earth Series to be Renamed.
I nominate "Uncle Toby" to replace "Old Toby." He's an especially memorable character from the novel Tristram Shandy by Laurence Sterne, published in 1759. I presume it's public domain by now. Uncle Toby: "Tristram's uncle, and brother to Walter Shandy. After sustaining a groin-wound in...- greysmoke

Food you Haven't Had Since your Grandmother(s) Died
My grandparents' home in East Tennessee followed old Southern traditions. The dining table on special occasions, such as extended family gatherings, featured spoonbread as a side dish. Southern meals of my childhood were normally accompanied by cornbread as a side. (Cornbread in my part of the...- greysmoke
