Dunhill WWII Service Lighter (pics)
You have to wonder where that lighter traveled and what it saw. North Africa? Normandy? Arnhem? Very cool.- oldsalt

Help and suggestions
+1 For Captain Black White. My intro to pipe smoking was a little over thirty years ago when a friend of my dad's who had fallen on hard times came to live with us for a short while. Coming into the house after school I was immediately greeted with the aroma of David's Captain Black. It was...- oldsalt

Oriental Suggestions
I appreciate all of the suggestions. I've smoked Legends, Wilderness, EMP, Newminster English Oriental and have enjoyed them all immensely, but being on a Durbar kick, I'm definitely leaning towards blends with the latakia far less pronounced or even existent. The Peretti Oriental No. 40 and...- oldsalt

Oriental Suggestions
I am definitely finding myself enjoying more Oriental-forward English blends, especially in this godawful south Florida summer heat. Recently picked up some Durbar and absolutely love the stuff. Everybody seems to rave about the McC's Grand Orientals and I'm definitely planning on picking some...- oldsalt

Do I Really Need A Cob?
I have to admit, I had a good laugh over the number of fast replies. And frankly, I knew what most of you were going to say. Soooo.... YOU WIN!!! YOU WIN!!! I see a Country Gentleman in my near future. :D- oldsalt

Do I Really Need A Cob?
So I've been at this for over a year and a half and have yet to get a cob. I know they're about as American as apple pie and baseball but I can't seem to bring myself to buy one despite their supposed smoking characteristics and low price. I know some would call it snobbery but I just can't...- oldsalt

Wessex Pipes?
I came across a nice looking pipe in the Wessex "Brown" line. Very reasonably priced sandblast with a cumberland stem. Seems like a good value. Anyone have any experience with Wessex pipes? -
Enjoying Latakia?
I personally love latakia blends. I also love Thai cuisine. But that doesn't mean the guy standing next to me will. Everybody's palate is different. My palate is not all that refined. I've suffered from sinus and allergy issues my entire life. There are certain subtleties in flavor and...- oldsalt

What should I smoke next?
I second hawky454. Nightcap is wonderful but 965 is definitely more of an everyday smoke. It's one of my favorites. As aldecaker mentioned, Proper English is an excellent bulk blend, and I would suggest trying another PS blend with English Oriental Supreme. Similar to 965 but a bit lighter...- oldsalt

Hot Texas Summer
I feel your pain travelergypsy and everybody else that reside in the South. I live in the Florida Keys, exactly 87 miles north from the southernmost point of the US. It's brutally hot and humid here in the summer and being a fishing guide, I can't escape it until I'm off the water and on my...- oldsalt

Latest Acquisition
Thanks for the compliments! I'm a sucker for sandblasts and at $59, it was easy to justify! -
Latest Acquisition
I've become a real fan of Stanwell, as this latest purchase from P&C makes it my third. My other two have been great smokers and I'm sure this Golden Danish 140 will be no different. -
Year and a Half Pipe Reflections
Had a good laugh Nate at your "bunch of losers and degenerates" comment. Funny stuff. Thanks for the compliments crashthegrey and beastinview. To answer your question crashthegrey, I find myself going for the meers more and more. My father-in-law lives in Turkey (defense contractor) and...- oldsalt
