    I Guess I’m Obsessed With Dunhill Rollagas Lighters Now…

    Yes he’s is! He recently worked on a Dupont table lighter of mine. I was very happy with his service!

    I Guess I’m Obsessed With Dunhill Rollagas Lighters Now…

    Neither am I. I’ve always sent mine to ARS for pipe conversions and mandatory rebuild but now I can source the pipe jets from china. The last one I bought (a tall) I sent out to a Facebook hobby repair guy for half the price. What finish are they?

    I use a drop of gel hand sanitizer on a Qtip.

    Maryland pipe clubs?

    The Chesapeake Pipe Club is a large and active club with members from all over the area! I meet with them via their weekly zoom meeting but they get together often in person. They are a great bunch of pipe smokers!!

    Matches?

    We display our match collection that we’ve been working on for almost 40 years. We had special monogrammed matches at our wedding.

    The STG Vinegar Curse Continues

    I was slingin’ Lane bulk tobacco all day at the shop Saturday. I didn’t notice anything different.

    Show off Your Smoking Rooms!

    I don’t have a dedicated smoking room but I have to settle for a chair and table in my living room.

    I Guess I’m Obsessed With Dunhill Rollagas Lighters Now…

    I’ve really enjoy collecting Rollsgas lighters! I’m happy the pipe burners are available to the public!

    Dunhill Dress Stain Question.

    IMO the older Dress and Black Briar pipes seemed to have a brownish undertone and the newer Dress pipes seemed to have a purplish, eggplant undertone.

    LoL! I’m still kicking myself for not getting a picture with him in Chicago a couple of years ago!

    Show Off Your Castello Pipes Here!

    That shape 16 is especially elegant! Yeah I think the black lacquer is made from ground up bugs.

    Show Off Your Castello Pipes Here!

    It was a must have for me. Nothing particularly informative but I enjoyed reading it. The translation was kinda clunky in a google translate way. I wish it had a slipcase to protect the beautiful boards like the Dunhill book.

    A Visit to Jon's Pipe Shop Clayton Missouri

    This shop is much larger than the old location. The old location was long and narrow and didn’t have the lounge. Check out John Dengler in old town St Charles MO if you want another old time cigar/pipe shop with squeaky floors and all.

    A Visit to Jon's Pipe Shop Clayton Missouri

    Jon’s is indeed one of the best pipe shops in the country! One of my best pipe friends who is a top flight collector works there part time.

    Mad Men

    I've been slowly rewatching Mad Men this summer. It's a Great Show that's really Held Up! I have a renewed appreciation for Kevin's Awesome Interview with Michael Gladis. It's a Delightful and Interesting discussion!

    I’ll pay but I’m not happy that ESPN has locked up some content like Ted’s Notebook behind a paywall since the break.
