    Dunhill 1971 Shell Briar 5-digit Stamp Question

    So this wonderful albeit little Dublin was made in 1971 and has a five digit stamp which is 21051. Is the 2 the bowl size, 1 the stem type and 05 the shape type - e.g., dublin??? Or am I misreading this stamp? Also I can't figure out what the 5th digit means, the "1". Any help would be...

    What is Your Lighter of Choice?

    I love my Red Bird wooden matches; in the fall and winter we heat our home with wood and the Red Bird matches start those fires, too.

    I decided to add a few shell briar 252 billiards to my rotation from Steve at Rebornpipes — they are fantastic and light on the jaw👍 But here i will show off two pipes: 1961 59 Tanshell and a 1969 253 F/T Root Briar that, interestingly, has the EX mark of an exchanged pipe from the same year of...

    Show Us Your Opera Pipes!

    I bought a Castello Perla Nera Kk shape 55 which, I think, might count as an opera pipe, though I am unsure because I don’t attend the opera and know the customs associated with it. Anyway here it is … a fantastic smoker!

    Salivating When Clenching

    My dentist told me that having active saliva glands is a good thing for breaking down stuff; so I see it as a positive aspect. Now as for dealing with it in your piping, there have been some great suggestions mentioned:> 1. Use fluffy pipe cleaners to absorb moisture while you puff; don't treat...

    Safe Display/Transport of Odd-Shaped Pipes?

    Ok I have a slightly different take. That is one big bold bad-ass pipe; it is wild and feral, something out of the stone age -- almost like an ancient axe-pipe combo; I can imagine a manly caveman smoking that quarter pound pipe in and around his cave and resting it upon a stone.... You, too...

    What Does Latakia Taste Like

    The tastes vary a bit for me according to what other tobaccos are in the mix; but the dominant trait on my palate is leather. I know that's more a scent correlation, yet it is best my vocabulary affords me...

    What To Do With a Rusty Tin?

    one thing to learn from this: if storing on a floor which could be reached by a flood, store the tins etc in something like a rubbermaid roughneck container :) I hope you are able to salvage the tobacco!

    Mac Baren HH blends

    The HH Burley Flake, ODF and Bold Kentucky are among my favorite daily tobaccos. There aren’t any bad tobaccos in the HH line imo.

    Your Own "Worst" Tobacco

    Well I must confess being an unrepentant burley lover; so for all those who detest the OJK or Haunted Bookshop they have still have taking up space, I will offer to pay to ship that horrible tobacco to me! For me the only tobacco I can’t stand are the Lakelands. I am not a massive fan of...
