    Scored Another Vintage Dunhill

    From Mike at Briar Blues, it's on hold for me, a beautiful billiard made in 1964. He has a couple of other Dunhill billiards I wish I could afford to buy, especially the 1968 Bruyere Billiard. 1964 DUNHILL BRUYERE

    Michael Glukler - Briar Blues

    I know everyone is probably sick of hearing about how much I love my 1965 Dunhill Bruyere billiard that I bought from Mike and how well it smokes but while smoking it tonight I got to thinking that I owe Mike a testimonial, I hope this doesn't violate any forum rules. This pipe I bought from...

    I Bought A Pack Of Dill's Pipecleaners At Kroger Tonight

    ...and had to show my ID in order to buy them. I'm almost 50 effing years old and had I not shown my drivers' license they wouldn't have sold them to me. I have gray hair and they know I'm old yet they still demand the damned ID. I am so damn sick of losing my liberties in order to protect...

    What Is The Lifespan Of A Briar Pipe?

    I ask this question because I recently purchased a 1965 Dunhill from Mike at Briar Blues and it smokes like you would not believe. This pipe is so much better than every pipe I have ever owned over the past 20 years (my pipes are not drugstore pipes but Petersons, Savinellis, Barlings, and...

    Favorite Actors Of Our Generation

    I love the older actors like Humphrey Bogart, William Holden, John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart, Robert Shaw (Force Ten from Navarone and Jaws!), James Mason, Clint Eastwood, Warren Oates (underrated as hell, maybe the most underrated of all time), Richard Burton, and many, many others. Leaving them...

    Favorite Horror Movie Series

    Clive Barker is a weird dude for sure but I really like the "Hellraiser" series of movies. Creative concept that is very disturbing. What's yours?

    I Understand What All The Hype Is About

    Smoking my first bowl in my new (to me) 1965 Dunhill Bruyere that I bought from Briar Blues. I received it from Mike a couple of days ago but decided to wait until after Christmas dinner to try it out. I chose Old Dublin for my first bowl. Wonderful pipe, lightweight, super comfortable stem...

    How Old Is My Pipe's Briar?

    I just acquired a 1965 Dunhill. I was thinking about what a piece of history it is being a half century in age and then thought about the briar it was carved from. I wonder how old the briar was when the pipe was made. I'm guessing it started growing in the 19th Century at the very least...

    Need Assistance Pricing A Pipe I Am Going To Sell

    This is a large Tim West sitter that I will be selling in the near future. I don't really know what it is worth. Tim made it for me back in either 1998 or 1999 and I think I paid around $150 at that time. Suggestions as to what would be a fair price will be most appreciated. Other than some...

    My Dad Died Ten Years Ago Tonight

    We live in Georgia and my mom called me just before midnight 12/15/2004 from Indiana to tell me my father had died but I was asleep and confused when my wife woke me and handed me the phone. After I hung up the phone I went downstairs, poured a Scotch and tried to comprehend what the hell had...

    I Need Some Help Cleaning Up and Selling a Pipe

    I have a nice Tim West sitter that I want to sell. I haven't been a member long enough to list it but am hoping I can can get some advice as to what it is worth and what I need to do to get it into a saleable condition. Tim made it for me back in 1998 or 1999 and I think I paid $150 for it at...

    Keeping Tinned Tobaccos in Optimum Smoking Condition

    I tend to keep my tinned blends in the tin after opening. I like the paper wrapper and the tin itself because I just like the way they look and function but I find the tobacco tends to dry out too much by the time I get to the last few bowls. Suggestions? Disclaimer: I am new to tins after...

    Dunhill Early Morning Pipe

    Cigars and Pipes was having a buy 3 get one free Dunhill promotion so I picked up 16 tins of various blends. I'm glad I only chose one tin of EMP. I've read a lot of good reviews of it and was anxious to try it but I wasn't impressed. It is nicely cut into thin ribbons and the moisture content...

    Slow is Key

    I've smoked a pipe for many years, most of them smoking primarily straight Virginias. I quit the pipe for several years and recently picked it back up. I've been smoking other blends lately but re-visited a straight Virginia this evening for a change and did so after doing some reading here...

    Extremely Frustrated

    Bought a car for my son from a neighbor, 2000 Isuzu Rodeo with 3.2L V-6. 140,000 miles with all the service records, new water pump, rebuilt tranny, new timing belt, tires, brakes and rotors, thermostat, battery etc. I thought what could go wrong? Everything, I guess. In the first 30 miles...

    I'm About to Pull the Trigger on a Dunhill

    What do you all think of these three pipes and which do you think is the best buy for the money? Am I crazy to spend this much on a pipe? http://www.smokingpipes.com/pipes/new/dunhill/moreinfo.cfm?product_id=130278 http://www.smokingpipes.com/pipes/new/dunhill/moreinfo.cfm?product_id=130172...

    Dunhill London Mixture

    Just cracked my first tin of it and love it. I've always smoked bulk blends, primarily from Cornell and Diehl, and after picking up the pipe again after an absence of several years have started trying tinned blends. Pipes and Cigars had a buy 3 get one free Dunhill deal going so I bought a...

    Peterson Dracula Tight Stem

    Anyone else have one of these? It's a great pipe but the stem is almost impossible remove. Even after leaving it in the freezer for an hour it is very hard to remove and very hard to get back in after putting in the freezer again. Does anyone know of a way to make this easier? I'm afraid...

    Any Other Gun Guys Here?

    Buying, selling, trading, and shooting firearms has been my main passion my entire life. I've hunted North America and some internationally. Centerfire rifles are my primary interest although I also love big bore revolvers and .22s (rifles and handguns). I have a CCL and my main carry piece...

    Peterson's Old Dublin

    I've just discovered Old Dublin and I love this stuff, just cracked my second tin and more are on the way. Really tasty and every few minutes or so I pull the pipe from my lip and say "Damn, this is good tobacco". Old Dublin is a really well balanced and flavorful blend, just fantastic. I...
