My Churchwarden Journey
I’d love one also, but the price just puts it outside my abilities. Definitely a wish list item for me. -

Zippo Pipe Lighters...Opinions Please!
Gotta change my tune on the Z-Pipe insert. Once I figured out how to light it, much more reliable. You have to hold the button down just before it sparks for a moment. Then push it all the way down to spark it. This lends to it lighting far more reliably. With this in mind, although I prefer a...- Bassman65

Do You Have Any Pipes You DON'T Smoke?
Moved to filter smoking. Enjoy it more. Bunch of pipes I bought pre-conversion. Couple Savinelli, a Peterson, 2 Butz-Choquin, a Capri and some Brighams.- Bassman65

Zippo Pipe Lighters...Opinions Please!
I have a z-pipe insert also. Only thing I don’t like about it is that it doesn’t always light. Gotta keep clicking it several times. Annoying. I find the ignition system with the spark wheel on the zippo inserts to light more reliably. I agree though that the small button makes it difficult to...- Bassman65

Looking for a New Knife
I always have a Mercator K55K with me. Thin, sharp, and unchanged since 1867. German perfection in my eyes.- Bassman65

Acrylic Stems vs Vulcanite Stems: A Comparison
Like them both. Although, as mentioned, vulcanite is more work if you treat it with oils etc. No give with acrylic, but doesn’t usually bother me on most stems. That being said, I have an acrylic stemmed pipe that I do find uncomfortable to clench. It has a really weird kinda rounded bit...- Bassman65

What's for Breakfast?
Made 30 pfannkuchen (crepes for non-Germans) for breakfast. I make them on the weekend and then freeze them for the kids to eat for breakfast during the week. I fold them into triangle quarters and separate them with parchment paper. Put them into freezer bags of 6 each. With 3 kids and 2...- Bassman65

Showoff Your Dunhill Pipes Here!

Now That’s Fun!
Just tried C&D Apricots and Cream. I’ve had it jarred up for about a year. I like it. Was so dark and sticky I was a little worried. It was, however, not as sweet or strong as I expected. Much similar to Brickworks Peach Cobbler. What was so much fun, however, was the sound. Like eating a...- Bassman65

Filter or no filter?
I also have a sensitive mouth and I love smoking aro’s. I only smoke with AC filters. My preference are 9mm, however, some Savinelli pipes and cobs only take 6mm. After moving to filters, I’ve never looked back. Just wish I hadn’t bought so many pipes prior to figuring out my preference...- Bassman65

9mm Charcoal Filter Brand Comparisons
Watched a video on line where they are comparing stanwell to blitz. Consensus was that they are identical. That Blitz either bought the tech or are being licensed to use the Stanwell.- Bassman65

9mm Charcoal Filter Brand Comparisons
She ain’t pretty, but smokes well with a 9mm filter. Crazy open draw. With Blitz filter, it’s almost too open. Now having tried Blitz, I can honestly say the are the most open draw of all the 9mm. Not even close. For a long time filter smoker the difference is crazy. Makes me wonder if...- Bassman65
