    ***What Are You Smoking, October 2020?***

    2012 Squadron Leader in a 1961 Dunhill 48 Shell bulldog seemed just right for a crisp fall morning.

    I've Never Heard Of This Kind Of Dunhill

    Dunhill's relationship with Namiki (also known as Pilot) probably dates back to about 1927, and while lighters, cigarette cases, pencils, ladies compacts, and sundry other small articles (maybe a pipe or two, though I'd be surprised) were made in Japan by Namiki and sold by Dunhill (more out of...

    Interesting Completed Ebay Auctions - British Pipes

    $285 to $668 in a last-second, six-way sniping frenzy is definitely my idea of dramatic auction finish. A lovely example, by all appearances, of a 1919 Dunhill Bruyere billiard in really immaculate condition, with a period correct "soft antelope pipe glove"--I've been admiring it all week. But...

    Hola desde Argentina

    A lifetime ago, when she lived here and was just beginning her career as a tea blender, I knew Ines Berton, who'd share magical stories about growing up in Buenos Aires and long summer trips on horseback in Tierra del Fuego. Welcome from New York!

    ***What Are You Smoking, October 2020?***

    With all due credit to the great kindness of a resourceful member, the hand-blended version of Mr Alfred's Own Mixture in a 1920 Dunhill Bruyere 56.

    New to Pipes

    Welcome indeed from New York. Like everything--from farm furniture to Ferraris to renaissance frescoes--the "best practices" of pipe restoration is a hot topic, especially with earlier and more valuable pipes. Georged, a member here, is to many of us, the hands-down best restorer in the...

    Greetings from Galicia

    Welcome from New York, Paco! Not quite you neighborhood, but I spent some time last spring and summer in and around Bilbao and the south of France near Andorra. And have been longing ever since to return.

    Interesting Completed Ebay Auctions--19th Century Lancel

    I know almost nothing about 19th century pipes or premium French-made brands-- beyond a vague sense of their importance to 20th century British brands. But even if last weekend's rather lovely "unsmoked" cased, silver-mounted, circa-1880s Lancel soared out of my own reach with a sniping duel...

    2008 GLP Westminster in a faux-ivory stemmed 2007 Dunhill 4144 shell billiard.

    Interesting Completed Ebay Auctions - British Pipes

    I am glad the amber stemmed Barling meerschaum will be going to a good home, and at a perfectly reasonable price. I've been admiring it all week. Congratulations, Jesse!

    Twelve year old GLP Westminster in a sterling banded Dunhill 5103 shell "Millennium" billiard.

    ***What Are You Smoking, Sept. 2020?

    GLP Westminster from 2008 in the 1925 small Dunhill magnum--with particular gratitude to Georged on both scores.

    Dunhill Nomenclature - SP?

    It really is a mystery, George. I was going to suggest how very annoying the laws of physics can be--and complain that we can't turn back the clock fifteen years-- so you could reach out to John Loring, since this was exactly the sort of geeky question he relished and loved solving. BUT his...

    ***What Are You Smoking, Sept. 2020?

    Finishing off the last of a 2oz tin of Margate (2017) in a 1920 Dunhill bruyere 56 bent. After an agreeable Esoterica month--devoted to both hunting down (with a very big thanks to forum members) and smoking-- I am looking forward to opening something new tomorrow.

    ***What Are You Smoking, August 2020?***

    Margate in a Dunhill 5103 shell "Millenium" billiard with a sterling band decorated with oversized hallmarks (actually dating from the year 2000).

    A New Affliction, P-TAD

    I will confess to a weakness for smoking accessories in general--especially things from the 1920s-1950s--ashtrays from grand hotels on the Riviera, a couple of Dupont lighters (I used daily), and then sometimes things I've admired for years in pre-war advertising (especially that by Hermes Paris...

    Best International Shipping from USA

    At a guess, most members of the forum who are most knowledgable about US online vendors (and regularly buy from them), are themselves based here in the US. So our own actual experience with say, Smoking Pipes, may not be much help to you. This said, Smoking Pipes does clearly state its...
