    Barling with 2 part stummel.

    That makes sense. Got a link to the post? - Here's another Sablebrush quote on the topic: :

    Dream TAD - 50 Plugs Of Warrior - 1920 Murray's Billhead

    Many thanks for that, it makes total sense and the way you delineated it put it all graspable in my mind --- my feeble mind which has severe shortcomings with regards to fractional math and the pre-decimal LSD. If my time machine was working and it was operated by a particularly mean ferryman...

    Barling with 2 part stummel.

    That's a very interesting Barling, looks like a pre-Fossil sandblast which is a fascinating topic, backalong.

    The Metal Mixtures

    . . . M A S S A C R A . . . Initial impression. Of course I chose Massacra first, how couldn't I? Pouch note: burley & earthy. Chosen instrument: John Crosby hummingbird. I didn't really know what to expect and upon first light I found that the lightish brown leaf color betrayed my...

    "God Tobak" :: pre-internet tobacco reviews, from Denmark with Love

    Wow. :puffy: That's a very long time indeed! Have you been actively collecting pipes for that long as well? The British pipes have seemed to always been very popular in Denmark, do you have a favorite brand?

    Ah, the double-edged sword of public forums and the free sharing of information! Just kidding... ...have at it! I'm on a financial downslope as of late so I'm just an eyeballing browser anyway. You may just get lucky if you persevere with daily browses, something could pop up at any time! I...

    "God Tobak" :: pre-internet tobacco reviews, from Denmark with Love

    With regards to my earlier question about the word falballader, a pm was sent to explain and I asked Jensen if it was okay for me to publish on this thread and he said okay, so here it is: Thanks for that, and, I don't think our talk is irrelevant at all, in fact, I find it to be intensely...

    Dream TAD - 50 Plugs Of Warrior - 1920 Murray's Billhead

    Ditto. The billhead ain't mine but I did have an oppo to get it because it was on the 'bay, sorta regret not pulling the trigger on it but often I must tell myself I can live without it, I don't need it, because my budget is limited and I must instill some sort of controlled discipline...

    Etsy has been great for me, moreso in the past than the present though --- haven't seen much as of late, but I did recently score a rare old Ruddell's tin for $7 that I'm totally stoked on. https://www.etsy.com/listing/270356050/maltan-rich-dark-flake-vintage-tobacco Lotsa good stuff there but...

    The Renown Of "Royal Yacht" Increases

    Yeah, that was way back when that the stuff was actually made by Dunhill ! You don't see the old RY knife lids very often, even empty ones seem scarce... ...well, all the others seem rare too as I hardly ever see any. I've always wanted an old tin of Shell Mixture just for display, those are...

    Dream TAD - 50 Plugs Of Warrior - 1920 Murray's Billhead

    That was a close rough estimate at the MrSnuff / Pipe Divan rates, but I finally got with the good program and now get my WARRIOR from Glynn Quelch, and 50 plugs from him would be about $650. A very nice savings! GoFundMe.com, here I come! :puffy:

    Dream TAD - 50 Plugs Of Warrior - 1920 Murray's Billhead

    I'm a nonmatho as well as me 'n numbers gotta war 'gainst ea. other LOL I suck at mathematics. I think the price = 24 pounds / 15 shillings / 10 pence ...and whatever that may have been in 1920? Roughly around the price of a Dunhill pipe? But, I'm not sure of any of this! :oops:

    Thanks for the info. Jakob looked very young there! I almost didn't recognize Eltang with the beard, but his joyful smile is a giveaway, every picture I see of him is wide smiles and happy eyes! Det er godt at være en pibemager! Indeed. Also appreciated! Thank you for taking the time to...

    Dream TAD - 50 Plugs Of Warrior - 1920 Murray's Billhead

    British American Tobacco shut down and closed the Murray's factory in 2005, then shifted their brands to Orlik for production in Denmark, and in the process BAT also pruned their brand catalog by deciding to discontinue Potomac Plug, Garryowen Plug, and Golden Bar Plug. See here for further...

    The Renown Of "Royal Yacht" Increases

    I like the stuff good enough, but I don't really smoke it too often as it is too "dry" for me and leaves me with a parched mouth, I mostly get cocoa notes from it with only very slight plumminess. From reading what Pipestud has written, it seems that the Orlik version is quite a bit different...

    Pipestud's review of Capstan Full circa 2007 lines up with the notes by the Danes... ...and yet another reason for that noble tome known as The Pipestud Universal Handbook of Pipe Tobacco: A Pertinent and Entertaining Guide For the Curious Connoisseur to finally be published into pages of...
