    Pipe shops in LA?

    So, I’m visering a friend in LA for a few days and figured I’d experience a real B&M. Googled it prior to my visit and Kramer’s seemed to be the place but, alas, it closed last year. I’ve looked around when out and about but it seems to be just “vape shops” around. I will be most grateful if...

    Recommendations for a dress pipe

    Thanks for the recommendations so far, I really like the Perla Nera but unfortunately it is a bit to expensive. Why is it that silly to have a pipe for special occasions for when you dress up and want a pipe to go with the outfit?

    A "sweet" English

    I have been hunting english blends on the sweet side myself for the past 6 months. For a light smoke Frog morton cellar is a good choice but i find it to weak the flavour just is far from "full" enough. Maltese Falcon from GLP and Dunhill London mixture are my go to smokes through the day at the...

    How to date a Dunhill silver spigot?

    So i came across a Dunhill silver spigot in shell finnish but i wonder how to date the pipe as there is no number after England, just various stamps? I have read a few guides but none seems to have any info on spigots.

    First Barling

    Thank you for all the replies. Had my first Bowls in it today and it smokes great, adds a bit more sweatness to English blends. The "P" is still a mystery but likely as you wrote Sable, it might be added by a dealer as the font seems to be a bit different. I have mailed the seller to see if he...

    First cob pipe...keep filter?

    I recommend using Savinellis adapter if you find the draw to be to open. I use it in my 3 Prides and it works like a charm, perfect draw and no issues using a pipecleaner.
