    A Question About a Comoy

    I'm not really a specific brand collector and much of my knowledge is surficial without much depth and I constantly have to check references, plus I have a faulty memory... ...as to Comoy info, I relied heavily on Neill's blog, otherwise lots of information is scattered --- Pipedia does have a...

    Al, I didn't see a 366 on the YOW shape list... http://yeoldebriars.com/grade_barling.html ...I agree with you that it's a mighty fine looker! Dave, Nice! Super elegant I say, Barling owned the pot shape, most other makers come off as clunky, but Barling perfected the shape with a gracious...

    Why Can't They Make Really Cool Toys Like This Anymore?

    A good companion for Mr. MacPooch? Here we have McGregor, why isn't he a Mr. too? Kinda spooky lookin' with his eyes closed. Both these smokin' toys run with the Scotsman theme, wassup widdat?

    ...just remembered something, all the Co-Operative Wholesale Society stuff roughly puts in my mind one of my favorite tunes (a great singalong!) from one of my favorite movies - The Italian Job - (anorak note: Bridger reads a magazine in his cell at one point, on the back cover is a fullpage 3...

    Thanks for adding that tin Simon! Good stuff. I'm curious to how the baccy looked after all these years, I'm sure that time had darkened it quite deep beyond its once pale complexion, got any pics of the shaggy baccy leaf?

    Capstan Original v Capstan Gold

    Thanks for that Simon, CFS has long been one of my grails, mostly because it was supposed to be superstout, so the "sort of OK" (which is a high ranking coming from you! LOL), eases my mind and will let it rest as just another of those long lost phantoms swirling blank in my brain... 8)

    Matt, thanks for the kind words. I think all of us Duke Street Irregulars here around these parts have curated some pretty damngood archival reference materials and it's pretty amazing just how much goodstuff is here freely open in the forums. :puffpipe: Dave, ah, thanks for that...

    Tsuge Pipe ..Good ??

    I got myself one of those little Tsuge Mizki sandblasts back when SmokingPipes were selling them for a bargain at $80. The stem tasted horrible, but the pipe smoked okay. I sold it a few months later. It was a 942 shape, like this: A shape which incidentally, was a direct take-off from the...

    Capstan Original v Capstan Gold

    MOB make a "match" of it supposedly, we all know how that goes... http://www.danishpipeshop.com/product.asp?product=119#.VxfWyDArLIU ...the one review on TR says mild/med so confidence is not inspired. I've never investigated the MOB (except 111 flake from a while back) because they are very...

    Barlings Additions

    Afraid not, Dave. I did a quick check with other copies, I only have the '17,'31, '32, '35, and '62 editions... ...closest was Fortress in the '35 listed under F.W. Cole.

    Barlings Additions

    No doubt about that! :puffy: 1921-1936 is an excellent spread of the most interesting time period imho, great to have sequential copies to cross reference. Did you scan/photocopy them from the Arents library? Or do you have physical editions? The old price lists are of tremendous usefulness...

    Capstan Original v Capstan Gold

    The question I have for Mac Baren is why didn't they bring back the Full along with the other two? The chocolate label brown Capstan Full Strength is quite legendary and would be something that I'd love to try.

    Pipe smokers reputation

    Recently came across this old ad and it immediately reminded me of what I wrote above relating my experience about smoking that old Gallaher's Girder with Eric: The timelessness of tobacco.

    Beefeater, excellent score! Congrats and my compliments on your very good eye, and thanks for sharing. :clap: Due to your "job lot" descrip I looked up some recent auctions, was the Niblick amongst these sortings from Richie & Co.? The good for hipsters in the titles is priceless, and...
