    Any Expirience With The IM Corona Double Lighter ? Are They Suitable For Pipes?

    IM Corona seems to have reissued the Double model, which is vased on the St. Dupont lighters design wise. The price is unfortunately almost double the price (pun intended) of Old Boys as well. Anyone has expirience with them? Are they worth it? They are advertised as cigar lighters. Will they...

    Please Help Decide: Savinelli Roma 602 vs 626

    Please Help Decide: Savinelli Roma 602 vs 626

    I know that the 320 author shape is associated with Savinelli. But unfortunately I am kunda unnoved by it. The 602 is also one of the signature shapes I think. I had Bibgs favorite a while ago, but sold it. Can inagine getting one in the future again.

    Please Help Decide: Savinelli Roma 602 vs 626

    I am interested in buying a pipe from the Savinelli Roma series. I nareowed it down to the 602 and 626 models. Which one of them is the more quintessential/iconic shape of Savinelli?

    Does Anyone Has Expirience With The Vauen And Barling Firelighters?

    Thinking about buying a 2nd fire lighter (have an IM Corona). I saw that Vauen and Barling have their own fire lighters. Does anyone have them? How is the quality and where are they made?

    If You Had to Choose Only One Tobacco

    I heard that in the past it was common that people only smoked only one tobacco. So if you had to choose only one tobacco for everyday smoke, which one would it be? I would probably go for Squadron Leader.

    1918 BBB Army Mount Pipe

    Thank you for your advise and insight gentlemen! Very well argumented oppinions both pro and contra. I still havent decided yet. Guess will take some time. Or maybe I will smoke it only if a very special occasion arises. What I find interesting is, that the inner walls are smooth and same as...

    Not Many Ascorti's Get Posted

    For me a typical Italian pipe is a huge rusticated pipe in neo-classical (oddly proportioned) shape. The well proportioned elegant ones belong to the british/french school of pipe making.

    1918 BBB Army Mount Pipe

    Won this small pipe recently on Ebay. Its an unsmoked pipe from 1918. Aproximately group size 2. This kind of pipe was probably liked by soldiers who fought in the trenches of WW1. A small army mount for a qiick, that you could put into pocket. (But thats my assumption) Now I am not sure if I...

    Dunhill Really Special?

    I am sure its a great pipe, but it doesnt has the shape and proportions of the classic french/british pipes. Italian pipes have their own style and its a whole different story. I am not speaking about quality, but about classic shapes and aesthetics.

    Dunhill Really Special?

    I was talking about factory brands. And there is no other brand left that does the old classic shapes as good as Dunhill unfortunately. Especially if we talk about small sized pipes.

    Dunhill Really Special?

    I dont think the price for a new Dunhill is fair, but of all the current pipe brands Dunhill has the best aesthetics and makes beautiful smaller sized pipes (group 1-3). Other modern pipe makers have pretty bad proportioned pipes. But I dont think Dunhills are better than estate family era...

    Tabaccheria Corti

    I bought two Castello pipes from Tabacheria Corti. Amazing service. Not only that Luca remembered that I asked for a specific pipe a few months ago and notified me when he got this pipe from the Castello factory. Not to mention the super fast shipping.

    Barling 1914 Catalogue Question

    I am very sorry Sabblebrush, wasnt aware that the catalogue PDF was stolen. Was trying to google some info about 19th century Barling army mounts and this link poped up. I must say I was a little bit surprised that the website was in Chinese. So if I understand correctly Barling produced plain...

    Barling 1914 Catalogue Question

    EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) Found the 1914 catalogue on the web recently. Can be downloaded here: https://sopipes.com/images/9/98/Barling_1914_Catalog.pdf What surprised is, that all pipes in the catalogue have a silver mount/band. So no "plain" shanks and pipes at all...
