    ***What Are You Smoking, December 2024?***

    Brown flake aromatic in a mid-1920s Barbic large pot. This is my first run with BFA, and I'm rather enjoying it. For as wet as the tobacco seemed out of the tin, it is smoking very dry.

    Presbyterian mixture in my 1940 Dunhill Shell 507 squat wide pot.

    ARP or RAP Cased Pipes?

    That's not a cut beveled tenon base like my example above, that is a molded curved base. The tenon I'm showing you is not an insert, it is contiguous and whole with the rest of the stem. The statement that a stepped tenon is never cut on a lathe and always represents a molded stem is...

    ARP or RAP Cased Pipes?

    I pointed out the base bevel to show that this isn't a glued tenon.

    ARP or RAP Cased Pipes?

    Okay, I understand what you're saying. These aren't replacement tenons. Here's an example, note the beveled tenon base and funneled draught hole, the HAND CUT stamp is visible. This is the stem from a quality British factory, made at least 50 years ago.

    ARP or RAP Cased Pipes?

    I'm going to show my ignorance here, what do you mean by a separate tenon?

    ARP or RAP Cased Pipes?

    There is that. But I still think these are hand cut. I also have pipes from other manufacturers that have a hand cut stamp on the stem, and appear to actually be hand cut, that have a step tenon.

    Winding down on Friday night with Butera's Royal Vintage Latakia number two in a Dunhill bent Rhodesian.

    ARP or RAP Cased Pipes?

    I don't think any of these Comoy's stems are molded. 3 piece C's, hand worked slots, concentric draft holes, and placement on what that company would have considered their very highest end pipes. I could be wrong, but, in this case, I really don't think I am.

    ARP or RAP Cased Pipes?

    Is that always the case? I have about 40 Comoy's and almost all of them have this step. All of my Comoy's are high to ultra high grade from their golden era and they aren't molded stems.

    Fribourg & Treyer 'Special Selection' Pipe Grade?

    UK seller on Etsy. I don't buy pipes from the UK on eBay unless they will ship Royal Mail. I was burned pretty bad by eBay shipping once, never again.

    Fribourg & Treyer 'Special Selection' Pipe Grade?

    I agree, got it unsmoked for 20 quid. To say I'm pleased would be an understatement.

    Help Identifying Magnum Made in London

    Orlik sometimes puts a nomenclature panel that looks like that.

    Fribourg & Treyer 'Special Selection' Pipe Grade?

    There is not. All stamping is on the left of the pipe including the HAND CUT stamp on the stem, nothing at all on the top, bottom, or right. The hand cut stamp is reminiscent of Orlik, but the London Made stamp is IDENTICAL to the Sasieni form in all regards, and clearly different from the...

    Fribourg & Treyer 'Special Selection' Pipe Grade?

    Looks like I forgot to attach a picture of the actual pipe. If anyone has any information on it, or Fribourg and Treyer, I would greatly appreciate it (have already read pipedia and pipephil entries).

    Fribourg & Treyer 'Special Selection' Pipe Grade?

    I have recently acquired an unsmoked Fribourg & Treyer billiard for cheap. Pipe has the diamond F&T logo over Special Selection over London Made. Pipe is a short billiard with a saddle stem that is stamped Hand Cut. I can't seem to find another example on the Internet or worthpoint with that...

    A Question Re: a Dunhill Prince

    I would agree that there is something "off" about the proportions and shaping of that Dunhill Amber Flame. The second is much closer to what I would want, especially if it had a slightly longer stem.

    Do You Have Any Pipes You DON'T Smoke?

    An unsmoked 1950 Dunhill LB with original box and packing. I should probably sell it. Other than that, a whole bunch of pipes I don't smoke very much, if at all, but not for any practical reason. Just have too many pipes.
