    I'm About to Pull the Trigger on a Dunhill

    Thanks Tarheel, I will check out the other English makers you mentioned. As an aside, I spent two years in Winston-Salem while in grad school at Wake Forest. I went to school with and remain friends with many UNC grads, great school with wonderful alumni.

    Dunhill London Mixture

    Andy. I love MM965 as well. Great blend. For some reason the only one I can't seem to warm up to is Nightcap. I don't know why that is.

    I'm About to Pull the Trigger on a Dunhill

    Thanks a bunch. I have artisan pipes by Tim West and Randy Wiley. I'll check out the carvers you suggested. I have heard good things about Teipen and Weaver, unfamiliar with Leyton but will check him out. Hearing from someone who has purchased and smoked Dunhill pipes is exactly what I was...

    How Handy Is A Dremel With A Flexishaft

    Dog shit mixed with vinegar, that's a new one. My dog Dutch and I should get into the business of selling estate pipes on Ebay, he very efficiently turns dog food into dog shit and I smoke pipes so we'll make a good team. In all seriousness, I hope you get them cleaned up.

    I'm About to Pull the Trigger on a Dunhill

    What do you all think of these three pipes and which do you think is the best buy for the money? Am I crazy to spend this much on a pipe? http://www.smokingpipes.com/pipes/new/dunhill/moreinfo.cfm?product_id=130278 http://www.smokingpipes.com/pipes/new/dunhill/moreinfo.cfm?product_id=130172...

    What got you into pipe smoking?

    Stephen, At age 49 I am a wee bit younger than you and my childhood in Indiana was much like you described, everyone smoked in some fashion and there was no stigma associated with it. When I went off to Purdue in 1984 some of my professors smoked a pipe while lecturing, I thought that was...

    What got you into pipe smoking?

    I first tried a pipe in 1993 in order to try to quit cigarettes. My first attempt was with a cheap Saseini second with a sandpit/hole where the bowl meets the shank. The combination of the terrible smoking pipe coupled with tongue roasting aromatics doomed my first attempt (which lasted for a...

    New Pipe Smoker and I am a woman and I love it!

    Hi Shelby, welcome. I too come from a family of cops, both my dad and his brother were career police officers and most of my close friends are either active duty or retired cops. Good on you for the Glock (though, I'm a Sig man myself). :D

    Going to Germany ... What to Bring Back?

    German on my father's side of the family and yes, they are an emotionless and aloof bunch. I've been told I'm that way too and suppose I am to an extent.

    Peterson Dracula Tight Stem

    Peterson makes a good pipe, been smoking them for close to 20 years. I own pipes that cost a lot more but I keep coming back to Petersons. I don't smoke them because they are what I can afford but rather they are what I like and trust to give me a good smoke and they've never let me down.

    First Good Pipe

    Many posters here have tried to explain to you why some pipes are better than others yet you seem not to want to listen. Once you have more experience you will understand what is meant when someone refers to a "good smoker" versus a "poor smoker", the distinction is not something one can glean...

    First Good Pipe

    What he is saying is all other things being equal a sandblasted or rusticated pipe will generally cost less than a smooth finish. In your example, you are comparing the same shape in two different lines so there will be other quality factors besides finish coming into play. For example, I have...

    First Good Pipe

    IMHO, I think you are focusing too much on the appearance of the pipe. Just buy a quality briar and some good tobacco and start enjoying smoking a pipe. There will be plenty of time later to find the "perfect" pipe. Personally, I wouldn't be interested in that laminated plywood Ropp you're...

    'A History of Tobacco in London'

    I smoked a ton of Cuban cigars years ago but sadly haven't smoked one in probably 15 years or so. My favorites were H. Upmann coronas. The difference for me between Habanas and everything else (other than construction and draw which was always perfect) was when I would exhale the smoke and let...

    Dunhill London Mixture

    Just cracked my first tin of it and love it. I've always smoked bulk blends, primarily from Cornell and Diehl, and after picking up the pipe again after an absence of several years have started trying tinned blends. Pipes and Cigars had a buy 3 get one free Dunhill deal going so I bought a...
