eBay Dunhill...
At $111,50? The thing is a wreck and not worth ten dollars: sawn in half, put back together askew, badly retrofitted with a cheap band and to top it off there's a very ominous crack in the rim. If I were a Python and this was a parrot, it would be an ex-parrot. Firewood, that's all it's good for... -
Tobacco Pipe Smoking in Amsterdam
To make matters worse, a Dutch city council (Tilburg) announced today it is considering growing marihuana. "..in order to have more control on the supply chain..." 8O- dukdalf

Pipe buying
Cigrmaster and foggymountain are right, IMO. Especially if you're new to pipesmoking a new pipe of at least reasonable quality is your best choice. Start out with cheap rubbish and chances are you'll never get to enjoy a good smoke. Treat your new pipe well, learn to enjoy it and after that, if...- dukdalf

Tips for purchasing first pipe?
Although I can very well understand your enthousiasm about estates, I'd recommend a spanking new pipe to any beginner. You can buy a very decent new pipe for around $50. No traces of previous ownership in wear or taste and if you really like the hobby, go out and chase those great value estates...- dukdalf

Dunhill 4103
Since some recent Dunhill-related discussions derailed rather quickly I hesitated in asking foggymountains question earlier, but it has me wondering too. Its dimensions in relation to the pipe and the mouthpiece seem just slightly off. Are there any marks on the band? -
Hello...Im a hole.
That carburetor idea had better work like a dream to make up for the inconvenience of a pipe that drips. It would have cost me a good number of shirts... -
Help dating and analyzing this 4103 Dunhill bamboo
Dunhill coding is notoriously elusive (John C. Loring spent the best of twenty years putting it together), but #4103 describes bowl size, finish, mouthpiece. I'm not expert enough to date by blast, but there should be a date code somewhere, consisting of two digits. On most Dunhills, it is... -
Tobacco Pipe Smoking in Amsterdam
The deal with smoking a pipe in what we call a coffeeshop is mysterious. The only explanation I can think of is that is was an arbitrary decision by the manager, or did you have the same experience in other coffeeshops? As for smoking in a public place, we've just had a series of lawsuits...- dukdalf

Pipe tobacco cigarettes - cool idea or just goofy?
Basically, tobacco is tobacco. The form you buy it in has been tailored to a certain end: pipe, RYO, cigarette, cigar, chew. The end determines the cut, the additives and in most cases, the choice of leaf. Not necessarily in quality, but for instance in cigarette tobacco price is very important...- dukdalf

Anyone know about LANE pipes?
Slightly off-topic perhaps, but Lane Ltd. also carried (or carries?) the "Captain Black" series. Who made them I don't know, neither if they're still on the market or not. The point could be that, whatever the markings on your pipe, you might be surprised to learn its true origin. This...- dukdalf

Tobacco Tins....Sealed.....or NOT???
All the tobacco I smoke comes from tins that are at least ten years old and in some cases more than fifteen years, and have been stored with no special precautions: at room temperature in the back of a cupboard. Some seals are intact, other tins have been opened once or twice at one time or...- dukdalf

Stalin smoked a pipe
I may have missed something in history class, but what exactly makes Che Guevara a "cowardly, sadistic murdering A-hole"? Stalin, Breznjev, Hitler, Mao, Pol Pot, Ceaucescu, Hoxha, Castro, Arafat, Hussein, every Al Qaida-member and probably a few more, yes. But Guevara? I'm no fan, but I wonder...- dukdalf

Large Upshall Bulldog
I've seen quite a few Upshalls, but rarely as large as this one. Beautiful pipe. -

American markings
I have this rather nice billiard, made by the American Smoking Pipe co. It is stamped "5-87/CR [illegible]". Can anybody tell me if I would be correct in assuming the "CR" stands for Curt Rollar? -
Got the low-down on Mastro De Paja
No "Per Amici" anywhere and it's not that old: probably from the nineties. Also, it's a very nice pipe but not a first-rate one.- dukdalf
