    Pipe Abuse - Wicked Are the Ways of Men

    My take has less to do with the perceived distinction of the Dunhill brand, more to do with the choice of a wooden pipe for that application. Also, in my estimation, a pipe smoker with the means and interest to own a Dunhill pipe wouldn't fall in to the category of "average salvia smoker"...

    Show Us Your Jody Davis Pipes!

    While I can appreciate the design and quality of pipes made by Jody Davis, I've never been a particular fan. Essentially, pipes in my preferred size range aren't common from his workshop. That brings me to this pipe, my first by Jody. I saw it on the SPC table at Muletown this year. In fact, I...

    Rusticated vs Sandblasted

    There are plenty of stummel out there that are blasted first (to an extent) and then finished so to speak with rustication. There are even those that are carved and then blast finished to give the appearance of a very special sandblast. These are easy to pick out because the ring grain will be...

    Rusticated vs Sandblasted

    For me, what runs at the heart of this matter is that sandblasted pipes retain the spirit of the grain, while rusticated pipes do not. I've never looked at a rusticated pipe and thought, " What a great looking pipe!" But that's just me.. I may enjoy a great sandblast more than its smooth...
