    Cleaning a Rusticated Rim?

    So, I’ve just not thought of any way to deal with darkening on a rusticated rim. Is it even possible?

    Driftwoodie Anyone?

    I was wondering if anyone had bought a “Driftwoodie” pipe back when they were on sale and if they could upload some images of it.

    Only-ETSY Pipes

    There are two purported pipe sellers I’ve noticed on ETSY that have sharp-looking pipes. One is called “Grimstonearts” with pipes signed “Alan C,” though the guy that messaged me had a different name and said he makes them in Utah. The other is “Morta Pipe” by a guy named “Eugene Sintsou” who...

    Show Off Your Eclesias (Pavel Holub)

    This was a bit different for me but I think his pipes are cool. “Dragon Scale” is on theatrical side and it’s also unique. This isn’t carved, supposedly, but all the work of sandblasting.

    No Luck with Hallmark

    I’m interested in this pipe but I can’t figure out the hallmark. It looks like an amber stem so I don’t think it’s post 1920s. I wonder if anyone has an idea? I’ve check all the cities and 1. I can’t figure out which city it is and 2. I can’t match that ornate H with a year in the right...

    Amber Stem Question

    Hello folks who have a pipe with an amber stem. Question: Do you get any added joy from owning something that’s millions of years old? They look rather beautiful. What do you think of their aesthetic and technical qualities? Why do you think they’re not used much anymore?

    1937 Horn-stemmed Dunhill?

    This is currently on eBay. Do you think this is an original stem? Is this legit?

    Barling’s Make Question

    Hi Barling’s expert! I can’t read the logo because it’s faint. Judging from the tenon, does this look like a Barling’s Make family tenon-stem? Thanks folks!

    Pick 5 Countries. Who from each makes/made the Best Pipes Under 500$?

    Let’s talk about objective criteria as much as possible. I’m talking about shaping, stem-work, engineering, etc. Objective means, “I don’t like that shape but it’s well-done.” I realize that there’s a subjective element here but I’m talking about things you think you can defend with objective...

    LC Shape by Tristan

    By Pipe Tristan. What does this remind you of? Maybe because of the almost-nude finish, it reminds me of a Becker. The elegance of it is French though.

    Canadian Ian Barnes

    I love the blast, stain, and cheeky design. I snagged this online Smokingpipes. I then contacted Mr. Barnes who is extremely friendly. He seems to have been on a hiatus but watch out for new pipes.

    Intolerance to Most Tobaccos

    So, I’ve persisted in pipe smoking because I do love the hobby/pastime but I’ve had quite a time of it figuring out what tobacco I can tolerate. The answer is that I have a reaction to all but a few kinds. I can smoke Dunhill/Peterson’s Virginia flake and Navy rolls. I also seem to tolerate...

    New-ish Pipe-Maker Wolff

    Christophe Wolff is a French pipe-maker. He’s rather new. I decided to take a chance but I’m thrilled with this pipe and his workmanship. I think he’s talented and will become better known.

    Replacement Stem: Dunhill Patent?

    A year or two ago I posted this question because I felt this stem was soft. Now, I think it could very well be that some type of cement repair was used on the button which leads to scuffing. Could this be a real original Dunhill stem On this ‘52 patent? The problem is that the tenon is a...

    Should I Pick it Up Again and Smoke It?

    My question really is: After smoking some of your pipe and putting it down, after about how long will it taste bad to pick it back up and smoke it? I mean, can you leave it for several hours? How about overnight? What do YOU do?

    The 1000th Question About Why Folks Spend on a Dunhill

    https://www.smokingpipes.com/pipes/new/dunhill/moreinfo.cfm?product_id=595431 4,880$ Aside from the fact that Dunhill can charge what the market will bear, I’m curious what kind of person spends 5 grand for this little 2022 new “Dead Root” pot. I have some vintage Dunhills and I do appreciate...

    I don’t think the last thread on this was active so this can be deleted if I’m wrong. The reason I was attracted to this C-B the shaping of the shank to stem. That really caught me in a way that other C-Bs hadn’t. It’s elegant.
