    The First Officially Stamped….Ken Barnes Pipe (Picture Heavy)

    Fantastic! I'm looking forward to seeing more of his output! Enjoy yours it's beautiful.

    Castello

    I have one that I like quite a bit. That said, I don't think the new iteration is really the same as the original #11 (of which I've only seen one, see below). It has a much larger bowl than my #10s and I wouldn't really call it a nosewarmer, but it is a truly comfortable chunky shape. The...

    Le Nuvole Pipes

    Anyone here have any? I got one recently and I'm very impressed. It's a rather conservative piece, but it is smoking like a machine. I don't hear them spoken about much other than Pease showing his fallen prince, perhaps a few other instances. Here's mine. Not what I'd call a craggy blast...

    Show Off Your Castello Pipes Here!

    I REALLY like that bent egg, seems to be a new shape from them. I guess I'm on the lookout for one with decent grain in a smooth of sorts. It never ends, does it.

    What Was Your First Time Like?

    My first McC was a blend made for a pipe enthusiast who ran a newstand near me. He was a bit of a mentor and got me on Escudo, his one main smoke. He also sold me my first can of an Esoterica blend. And sold me a bunch of pipes.

    We Used To Sniff Glue And Drink Cough Syrup

    This is unwarranted hysteria. You can't eat Tide pods. Everyone knows that to get a minty fresh breath you need to eat dishwasher pods.

    Castello - Old Catalogues / Cost And Perception Back In The Day?

    If I find an old #10 Old Antiquari with a briar band like GLP has I may get more friction burns tho. The new version of the #10 is awful.

    Castello - Old Catalogues / Cost And Perception Back In The Day?

    I've given up hope finding a solid Epoca. I'm curious about the hawkbill collection too. They just don't make them like that any more. I saw this Fiamatta show up on smokingpipes and I think I still have friction burns on my butt from how fast my wallet came out.

    Castello - Old Catalogues / Cost And Perception Back In The Day?

    Many of the pages on Chris' site seem broken / lead back to the main page but based on what did load, a Sea Rock would cost $18-$24 o_O I hadn't known about this site before, thanks!

    Castello - Old Catalogues / Cost And Perception Back In The Day?

    The Dunhill thread over here http://pipesmagazine.com/forums/topic/dunhill-pipe-prices-in-the-60s?replies=18 has made me wonder what Castello pipes were viewed as and what they were priced at when they hit the market back in 1947 and through the years. I've also always wondered what the...

    Dunhill Pipe Prices in the 60's

    One thing I'm never really sure of, being a younger guy, is what folks actually earned during that time. 14 pounds for a Dunhill sounds fantastic, but if you only made 5,000 pounds a year it's suddenly rather more dear. It makes me realize that while I know inflation and costs have increased...

    Thank you Ken and all! I appreciate your help in dating this - it is in quite good condition to boot. I think I'll load it up now with some flake - it has a narrow, tall chamber that really draws the flavors out!

    James Upshall Pipes - A Discussion

    I feel like this thread has some crossover with Charatan, and I'm hoping Ken can give me some insight. I purchased this Charatan Selected last year - best as I can tell, Lane era but with a DH stamp and no double comfort bit, so plausibly made before Lane took over and then they added the L...

    Oops! Phillip Morris Goes to Loopyville

    PM doesn't need our market any more for tobacco. Other countries smoke their tobacco products much more heavily, they can invest in tobacco sales there with fewer issues and position to reinvent their image here.

    welcome to the forums and sorry your first encounter involved getting beat up over punctuation and capitalization or whatever some people have too much time on their hands!

    Interesting! Thank you.

    Who Makes White Spot / Dunhill Now?

    I have three of the newer production "white spot" Dunhills. I think the going knowledge at this point is that they aren't made by Dunhill. I'm curious if anyone knows what company DOES make them, or where said company may be located. I actually really enjoy my three White Spots and think...

    Show Off Your Meerschaum Nose Warmers

    Mine isn't an old guy like yours, but this Altinok is definitely a nosewarmer.

    I would definitely say it's worth repairing and cleaning up. Looks like a diamond in the rough, and not that rough, to boot.
