    Pictures of my Pipes II

    Thanks guys. Lately, these older Pipes have held my attention. When Bekler retired and put his stash on the market, the best were taken quickly. It's uncommon to find one like this that has been kept pristine.

    Pictures of my Pipes II

    Here's the latest addition to the collection. It's an unsmoked Estate CAO Bekler Canadian, new in the box. It's been wearing me down for awhile, so I caved in... http://pipesmagazine.com/members/fred/album/picture/852

    Dunhill Pipe Tobacco Returns to the US

    Yes Kevin, the scarcity of the Dunhill blends in the UK is something that my contacts have also lamented for awhile. Your article has many sitting on the edge of their seats in anticipation.

    Polls?

    I agree. The use of polls has been invaluable to me in gaining knowledge of preferences for Pipe, blends, smoking styles and Pipe maintenance. This type of information helps to tailor the focus of evolving interests and experiences in our small community. It can provide venue for those who...

    Review of McClelland Oriental Mixture: No.8 (green tins)

    For me, the No. 12 in this series is the favorite. Just the same, they are all good.

    Dunhill Blends

    I'd go ahead and make the huge publicity splash with this Kevin. Most of the Pipe community is either oblivious or skeptical, as this announcement had been made earlier, with no results and no explanation as to why it fell through. My source has doubts about the voracity of the Rep's...

    Dedicating Tobacco Pipes to Pipe Tobacco Blends

    willh wrote: I thought that meers didn't hold flavors like briar. For the most part this is true, as long as you clean the Pipe routinely. Still, some blends such as Condor, St Bruno Flake, Errinmore and any blend with Deer Tongue in it will leave residual taste in the Block that requires...

    Dedicating Tobacco Pipes to Pipe Tobacco Blends

    Great presentation of the concept Bob. For me, the issue is effectively addressed by routine cleaning of my Meerschaums, with a few exceptions. Some blends will ghost any Pipe for what can be a long time. This can be an issue with Estate Pipes... You're going to find out if the last guy...

    Dunhill Blends

    The Orlik issue of the Dunhill blends is different from the Murray's. Some have found favor in these new versions, while others have not. Change is always encountered in the tobacco trades as the players come and go and the availability of blend components ebb and flow. There has been quite...

    Dunhill Blends

    Yes, the rush will be on initially and the supply lines will be depleted quickly for a couple of months. Likely, Orlik has ample amount of these blends, as this was rumored to have already been released months earlier, but CAO was bought out and the distribution has apparently been...
