Birth year Dunhills?
Dunhill fanboy here; I find them exceptional, but I also love the history of the brand and what dunhill did for pipe smoking. I don't have any from the 80s but my 1978 Group 5 bent egg is one of the best smokers of heavy latakia blends I have in my arsenal. The more you smoke them, the more...- damacene

Ebay Dunhill Disappointment
I decided to keep it and do a deep clean, I just love the blast and really have a soft spot for tanshells. Last night I soaked the stem in a deoxidizing solution and it had pretty good results. I wasn't as offended by the oxidation as I was the loose stem and calling a Dunhill you smoked a... -
Ebay Dunhill Disappointment
I appreciate everyone's advice, as stated above I'm not very experienced with estate buys on ebay. All of my other dunhills were purchased from reputable dealers, or my white spots I bought new from Europe. -
Ebay Dunhill Disappointment
I spent $290 including tax and shipping, which is pretty decent/fair from what I've seen with most listings. The blast is beautiful and the coloring of the tanshell is very nice. I'm going to meditate on it for a day before I contact the seller. @Chasing Embers It may be worth just trying to... -
Ebay Dunhill Disappointment
I'm asking because I really don't buy pipes on eBay often. The couple times I have, they were pretty much perfect and as described.whats the proper pipe guy etiquette in this situation? -
Ebay Dunhill Disappointment
The seller doesn't accept returns but it is covered by eBay money back guarantee. Should I message the seller or just go through eBay? I'm hoping the guy didn't know what he was doing by putting "light use" when the thing is saturated with lane IQ topping. -
Ebay Dunhill Disappointment
I recently won a Dunhill Group 4 Tanshell from the 60s. In the listing the seller said the pipe was in mint condition, but I could tell there was a little oxidation on the stem. I messaged the seller and he said it was barely noticable. The pipe arrived today and there's a lot more oxidation... -

Why We're Doomed, aka Paying for a Pizza
There might be something to that. I was raised by liberal boomers who were over indulgent because they didn't want to be like their parents; so I don't know if the lack of ass kickings is a factor as much as being raised on the internet and social media. I'm one of the last age groups that...- damacene

Why We're Doomed, aka Paying for a Pizza
I don't know, I'm a millennial and I'm shocked by the stupidity of gen z and I'm only 10 years older than them. I don't think this is simply all old guys talk shit on the younger generation, there's a serious cognitive decline and lack of social skills in the zoomers.- damacene

Pegasus: Love for One Blend
I've been on a C&D burley kick this week, maybe I'm just trying to manifest fall and get rid of summer like a pipe-smoking rain dance. Thinking about adding some Morley's Best to my next order. How does it compare to Pegasus?- damacene

What is the Most Muscular Straight Burley Sold Today?
The strongest burley and an absolute favorite for me is Cornell and Diehl's Big N' Burley. It's not necessarily the strongest in nicotine, but its definitely up there with Old Joe Krantz and Irish Flake. Full rich burley flavor with a touch of lat and turkish to beef up the body and add a...- damacene

Are You A Tankie?

Dunhill The White Spot: Ring Grain or Ruby Bark?
Well gentlemen, I settled on the Group 4 Ring Grain Billiard and it arrived a couple of days ago. I have to say, I am blown away by the quality of this pipe. The stem work is magnificent, the draw perfect, and the ring grain is beautiful. Part of it may be psychological, but when I gave it its...
