    PBAD - Show Your Pipe Books Here

    A classic, and yours looks like an especially nice copy.

    A beauty!

    Interesting Completed Ebay Auctions - British Pipes

    I am guessing Jesse that you've not actually discovered some secret hack to reveal the actual identities of bidders (how I miss the old days). And are instead reasoning from "O***o's "60 (presumably last second snipes) in auctions by ten different sellers--these concentrated on pipes, but also...

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

    Margate (2107) in 1925 Dunhill Bruyere shape 36 billiard with a non-AD nickel-silver repair band--still going strong , and a pleasure to smoke, 11 years after I bought it $70.

    Interesting Completed Ebay Auctions - British Pipes

    Definitely a bullish day for unsmoked British wood. $1540+tax+shipping (with snipers doubling the price in the final seconds)...

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

    A remarkably seductive Virginia/Perique mixture with about 1/3 of vintage Syrian latakia that I received earlier this week from a friend. This in a 1920 Dunhill Bruyere 56.

    Hello from Germany

    Welcome! And a big +1 for Hamburg. A leisurely stroll around the Alster (except for the forbiddingly fortified bit around the US consulate) is one of my favorite ways to spend an afternoon. And at least once or twice a year, until comparatively recently, I was particularly fond of staying at...

    Is This Tobacco Smokeable?

    Sparkly Margaret sounds good to me too. And crystallized something seems pretty normal with cellared Esotericas I've opened recently.

    Maybe He Should Offer Free Shipping? €1650 Sealed Dunhill Tin

    My Mixture No. 965, described in the 1928 "About Smoke" catalogue as "the finest Mixture ever produced"--maybe. Or at least if I were an "oligarch" keen to dazzle my friends the next St Petersburg pipe club evening. While perhaps, also convincing myself it was decent value compared to a bottle...

    My Estervals Order Was Sent By USPS To Customs And Has been Shipped Back To Germany

    All my sympathy too--there but for the will of. . ., and all that. The weird monthlong wait within Germany has long been a given with whatever "economy" DHL package service it is that Esterval uses. What then happens or fails once international packages clear customs is 100% USPS fault, and...

    Margate (2017) in a Emil Chonowitsch shell calabash.

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

    A second bowl of Penzance in the magnum seemed just about the only way to begin this lazy Sunday morning.

    Esoterica Drop

    Well, whenever this whole COVID horror is over, I'm definitely inviting you on my cross country road trip following the Esoterica trail. Hell, I'll even give you a co-producer credit for the movie.

    Showoff Your Dunhill Pipes Here!

    News to me--perhaps they'd be amenable to my reaching out for a few details. Much appreciate, @craiginthecorn, both the heads up and the email for submissions above.

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

    Penzance (2007) in an immaculate 1925 Dunhill small shell magnum. With heartfelt thanks to Georged!

    Opps. Mea culpa! I didn't mean to kill Mr Hacker, or even spread false rumor of his demise--I meant John Loring.

    PBAD - Show Your Pipe Books Here

    An excellent question--I wish I had some inking. All I can say is I remember reading Loring's errata for the first time, and thinking this has to be any author's very worst nightmare. If only he still were alive. . .

    Esoterica Drop

    As they say your mileage may vary (and I really do hope to avoid gloating even implicitly) but ten minutes ago I opened a square tin of Penzance bought new for about $8 at the Davidoff shop on Madison Avenue in 2007. It's been at a stable temperature in the dark undisturbed ever since. As I...

    Tiramisu

    You've pretty accurately described my idea of breakfast.

    Tiramisu

    I actually visited the PJ Clark's in Paris a few eons ago--before cash machines were everywhere, and gasp, yes, there were phone booths (which very seldom worked) on city street corners. I was not quite down and out but running very short on cash, and managed to bludgeon/shame the manager into...
