    Willmer

    Why don't we see much talk about this brand? Some of their Straight Grain and Extra Grain pipes seem like tremendous bargains. I don't remember them much from my days in pipe shops and am curious what people think of know about them.

    Need Some Pipe Dying Help

    Hi, I bought an estate Dunhill from the 70'a and it was the same bright color red magenta as other pipes from that era. Unfortunately I made the error of trying to scrub the rim with bicycles - big mistake. The Oct cut right through the stain. Now it has the sickly look of an infection...

    Paul Olsen My Own Blend No. 7000

    One of my favorite blends from 5 to 10 years ago was My Own Blend 7000. Unfortunately, I can't find it, even on Estervals. Anyone tried anything very similar they think I should try?

    First Impressions: Sutliff Chocolate Mousse

    Every now and then you try a tobacco you just know is going to suck. I've been putting off trying some of the Sutliff Chocolate Mousse I bought with the Sutliff Dark Chocolate I bought for two reasons. 1. Since my first bowl of that was a disappointment and 2. since its very wet. It's the...

    What is your smoothest blend?

    What do you think is your smoothest blend? Something you reach for when you just want a nice, smooth smoke that isn't a flavor bomb, lat bomb or flake you have to work at?

    Sutliffe Dark Chocolate First Impressions

    I took advantage of P&C's 20% off sale and bought some Sutliffe blends, including Dark Chocolate. I haven't tried a chocolate in a long while and the reviews seemed favorable on TR. When I opened the box, there was a strong chocolate smell. That turned out to be Sutliffe's Chocolate Mousse...

    Because Every Now and Again, You Need a Weird Pipe.

    It spoke to me. Then I took my lithium and still liked it. I'm naming him Groot.

    The Prodigal Pipe Returns again.

    Years ago, I started this thread. It was about a pipe I lost and then found again. Well damned if the same thing didn't happen again with the exact same pipe. I actually thought it was stolen when my car was broken into a few years ago but about a month ago, I was sitting in my chair (the...

    Pipes You Never Liked Before

    All of a sudden, recently I've decided I like cavaliers. Never had an interest in them in decades of pipe smoking. Now all of a sudden, I want one. Have you had an instance were you flipped on a pipe shape? I'm eyeballing this one since it's the type of cavalier I like but it's way out of...

    An interesting pipe

    https://www.ebay.com/itm/Unicorn-1929-Dunhill-HWo-Shape-S28-Racing-Car-Pipe-in-Unrestored-Condition/202764541662?hash=item2f35b55ede:g:FZkAAOSwfWldY1bR I've never seen anything like it and certainly not from Dunhill. Is it double sided by design or burnt out?

    1820

    Picked up some 1820 last week in England and finally got to sit down with it. The bag odor doesn't strike me as Penzance-ish. I got the shag version which is a very fine cut so certainly nothing like Penzance. Similar in cut to Margate and Pembroke. In the bowl, the orientals and latakia...

    A Dunhill Fan Went to London...

    Just got back from a week in England. Spent the first half in Brighton and the second half in London. It was wonderful to visit and I highly recommend it. From a piper perspective it was interesting. Tobacco was outrageously expensive. I paid 20L for 2 oz of tobacco. I bought some 1820...
