    Briar patch

    Also getting a 'This connection is not private' message. Same message would come up on any website that has not converted from htp to http (higher level of security). Though I shouldn't think you'd be completely blocked. Well, I'm sure they're working on it.

    Dark Fired Kentucky

    I love the comment "MacB HH ODF is my favorite. It's like smoking a seared fillet mignon." It fits perfectly. ODF has long been one of my favorites. I'll have to try Jack Knife Plug.

    Extremely Unreliable Esoterica Bag Seals

    Thanks for the heads up. I have jarred all (what few I have) Esoterica bags. No point in losing the small amounts I have been fortunate enough to come by.

    First Castello

    Briar Quality in Dunhill

    I want to thank all of you for the wonderful responses.

    Briar Quality in Dunhill

    I have read a lot about briar quality in Dunhill, and I know some fans prefer the older Dunhills to the newer ones. But my question is more related to briar supply. I understand there are basically three sources for briar: Italy, Algeria and Greece. Italian briar as I understand can only be...

    Mountbatten Pipe?

    My wife recently came across an unsmoked Mountbatten in a thrift store which she picked up for me for $5. It is actually a very nice pipe, reminiscent of a Dunhill Bruyere billiard. In fact its dimensions and stain are almost exactly the same. It is well made, symmetrical , no errors, a good...

    Tight Stem

    I know these posts are old, but just had to do the same to a new Dunhill where the stem was just too tight. The graphite worked perfectly. Went from too tight to correctly snug. Thanks so much. Perry

    C&D Dreams of Kadath Plug

    Started smoking a couple of the HP Lovecraft series and enjoying them. I think my favorite based on a few smokes is Mad Fiddler, though I do think it would benefit from some cellar aging. So, indeed, I put a few away! Thanks, C&D , for introducing these. And, for anyone that cares, check out...

    Barontini Pipes

    I own a Barontini. It was a gift from my wife many years ago (at least 20-30). It is still my favorite.
