Dunhill "HT" Stamp
While I've bought a number of older Dunhills over the years, this is my only modern Dunhill. There doesn't seem to be much info on the "HT" stamping outside of the fact that it supposedly means Hand Turned. All of the HT stamped Dunhills I saw while searching were marked "Collector" or other...- skydog

March Madness Anyone?
I've never been much of an NBA fan, but here in NC college basketball is almost a religion. I'm rooting for Duke tonight. Hoping they can put together a win for Coach K's final season. He's been the Duke head coach for longer than I've been alive and it's crazy to me to be watching the end of...- skydog

Carolina Red Flake 2020 vs 2019 Pictorial Comparison
Just got my tins of the new CRF in today. First thing I noticed was the description was apparently just copied from the 2019 tin description because it still says it's the 2015 crop despise the side of the tin clearly listing the 2018 crop: These things happen, as long as the tobacco is...- skydog

Any Savinelli Experts Around? 1985 Collection?
I picked up the below Savinelli 1985 Collection pipe from a thrift shop. What I've been able to find seems like it is a yearly pipe like I suspected and 1985 seems to be the first year. Seems like it's one shape per year as well? Anyone know where this falls in the range of the Savinelli...- skydog

2019 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs
I haven't seen a Stanley Cup Playoffs thread. Always enjoy a little sports discussion here so I figured I'd see if anyone has been enjoying the playoffs so far. Already been some huge upsets and it's shaping up to be an interesting playoff season.- skydog

Briarworks releases new Billiard
I'm a big fan of Briarworks and Moonshine pipes and saw today they released a tapered stem version of the C22. I enjoy watching the Stuff and Things tobacco reviews and saw Bradley had recently been gifted one of these by Briarworks so I guess the response was great enough for these to go into... -
C&D Carolina Red Flake Batch 2 vs Batch 3
I came home from work today to find my order of the new batch 3 of the C&D Carolina Red Flake sitting by my door. As I've been wanting to compare this batch with last year's batch 2 I figured I'd do a quick write up and include some pictures for anyone curious. I'm not one generally to write...- skydog

2018 MLB Playoffs
Haven't seen a thread posted about the MLB Playoffs yet and always enjoy the sports discussions here. Anybody watching? Yankees vs Red Sox was a good game but it's not looking so great for us Braves fans tonight.- skydog

McCranie's VAs and preconceived notions
Sitting down tonight with some Red Ribbon and Red Flake. I continue to be surprised that I enjoy the ribbon more considering that I'm a huge McClelland VA Flake fan. McClelland 5100 isn't even in the same league as Red Ribbon and I've never had any other red VA ribbon that could come close to...- skydog

Blends That Aren't Worth Ageing
I cracked a 2017 tin of C&D Interlude to compare with the 10+ year old tin I'd found at a local B&M. I was surprised to find that I preferred the new tin. The aged Interlude isn't necessarily worse but I think since it's such a mild tobacco to begin with it doesn't gain as much as fuller...- skydog
