Dunhill The Aperitif in a Ferndown Bark Rhodesian with curved Cumberland stem. A proper cuppa Lampsang Souchong on the side.
When Dunhill announced some time ago that they were stopping production of their tobaccos, I went on a stocking up spree. After production stopped I continued to track...
So far I have had the Puro Desnudo Lancero and Ninfa. To my taste they are excellent Honduran puros, Cubanesque in character, and very well rolled. I plan to always keep some in my collection.
Sandblast, thanks so much for the kind comment. IMP does make meers with plateau rims; here's another IMP of mine that I haven't posted yet. The plateau adds to the appearance in my opinion.
Good morning, all! Starting my mental recovery from a thrilling/exhausting World Series with C&D Exclusive in a blasted Bill Shalosky with a pot of Harney & Sons Russian Country tea on the side. This pipe was made in 2009 while Bill was still at Smoker's Haven. He also made the tamper. Very...

In preparation for my weekly Friday visit to my cigar lounge, my favorite cigar leaf blend, GL Pease Key Largo, in a Ferndown Tudor Root panel billiard, with a pot of Lampsang Souchong (in a Key Largo mug--there's a theme here).
Thanks, MM. The Royal Yacht is a love it or hate it blend. Years of following Pipestud's reviews led me to try it and it became a favorite of mine. The Key West in the background is actually a coffee mug that Greg Pease released years ago. As a cigar smoker in addition to a long-time pipe...
Good morning, all! The Royal Yacht in a Michael Parks lumberman. A pot of Bigelow Constant Comment on the side. Reading while awaiting the Everton-Spurs match.
Yes, I bought that ashtray at the old Smoker's Haven in downtown Columbus on 12/20/1972. All the salesmen smoked pipes in the store--the scent upon entering was heavenly! (I know the exact date because in that era customers' purchases were tracked on a typewritten index card. Premal Chheda still...
