    Question about Dunhill Nightcap

    Perhaps, they could be referring to the Murray's issue...? The more recent Orlik issue has been widely received by many and purchased in a short period of time. Local B&Ms may have some while the e-retailers are out.

    Perfect Knife For Plugs/Ropes

    You're welcome. Puffintuff is correct, there is a lot of conflicting information available about Meerschaums and their culture. This is one of the reasons why I agreed, at the invitation of the Smoker's Forum Team, to start a group on Meerschaums over 2 years ago, which currently has 307...

    Mason is correct, the limiting factor on how long you can smoke a Meerschaum is the quality of the Block, which is why I gave the link to the article. I'm not alone in having smoked a Meerschaum for a few weeks, 4-5 bowls daily. One thing to remember is that a Meerschaum can develop a...
