Need Advice on Selling My Collection
A few years ago I sold off most of my collection, about sixty pieces. All high-grade and unsmoked pipes, ranging from the classic Dunhills and Upshalls to Danish and Italian. I couldn't be bothered with the hassle that's called ebay, so I shipped the lot to Mike Glukler at Briarblues. I was very... -
What Book Are you Reading? - 2019
"Erebus" by Michael Palin. Highly recommendend if you're into maritime history. Well researched and very entertaining writing. Before that, "The End" by Ian Kershaw. He deals with the question why the Germans kept on fighting after June of 1944, when to almost all concerned it was pretty obvious...- dukdalf

New Series featuring Pipe Smoking!
I've watched Rowan Atkinson try his hand at becoming Maigret. He's quite convincing, both as a French police inspector and as a pipesmoker, but Bruno Cremer still rules.- dukdalf

Ashton - Jimmy Craig vs. Bill Taylor
Like tennsmoker I enjoyed a few hours with Bill Taylor and both Ashtons I have remind me of him every time I light them. On the other hand, I would be keen to take a closer look at Craig's work because those Ashtons smoke so easily and tasty. -

Frankenblend Roll Call
About two weeks ago I decided to reanimate some leftover Dunhill blends that had been drying out for the last decade or so. After a fastidious start I soon decided to throw them all together in a big jar and see what would come out. About half of it is Standard Medium, the rest is made up of...- dukdalf

Show Us Your Sitters!
My only sitter, which is so small it cannot live up to its name unless stuffed to the brim with fresh and rather moist tobacco. Aside from that technical imperfection, it really is a dream to smoke:- dukdalf

Pipe Books
Absolutely true, georged. Maya & Liebaert are very well-informed and they cover almost every aspect of pipesmoking in a more than decently edited and illustrated book.- dukdalf

Porsche Pipes, Opinions?
You should remember there are different varieties of the Porsche pipe: the first version, produced by Oldenkott in two shapes: a straight and a half-bent. Both shapes were available in different colour combinations. When Oldenkott and Porsche Design fell out production ceased for a good few...- dukdalf

My Stems Don't Fit.
A few years ago I left some pipes in the boot of my car during winter and they all suffered from loose tenons in spring. A move to more favourable conditions helped a lot, but smoking them solved the problem almost immediately. This being a non-invasive procedure I'd try it for a few bowls...- dukdalf
