    ***What Are You Smoking, Nov. 2024?***

    Persevering though some tough days with C&D's Byzantium from 2020 in a MM.

    Thanks - I appreciate the recommendation! I'll keep @georged in mind for restoration work.

    Thanks! I stumbled across this page yesterday but didn't dive in too deeply. I did see the 20+19 phrasing for the 19 date stamp.

    Thanks for the insights. Yes, I don't think I'm jumping into smoking these like my others anytime soon. More of a special occasion, or will have a restorer being then back to life a little bit

    Thanks for the insight - I'll probably have a professional handle restoring them in the future (although I probably could do it, might be most prudent in better hands).

    Thanks - I also didn't see '19' as a date stamp for the patent either. Might do a bit more reaching out for info. Someone did respond in the "show us your dunhills" thread that the bulldog was from 1939, although I couldn't seem to conclusively arrive there based on the pipedia info.

    Showoff Your Dunhill Pipes Here!

    Picked up 2 Dunhill Patent Era Pipes this past Saturday for a keen $85. The Billiard: Underside stamping: 59 DUNHILL SHELL MADE IN ENGLAND 0 PATENT No 417574/34 (4) From looking on Pipedia, I think this puts it made around 1950-54. The Bulldog: Underside stamping: 48 4 DUNHILL SHELL MADE...

    Thanks! Yes, even smelling them - there is barely any tobacco odor so I reckon they may have been used one time, or were in a cabinet with other pipes. Proud to be an owner of a couple Dunhills - may save them for special days.

    I could see how that statistic would ring true. I was a bit surprised - usually pipes in antique shops around me (NW Ohio) are chewed up Grabows. I was perplexed when I turned them over and they were both clearly stamped Dunhills. Yes, they are still out there floating around.

    Help Identifying 2 Dunhill Patent Era Pipes

    Hello Folks - Yesterday I happened to pick up 2 Dunhill pipes from an antique shop (at a seemingly way-too-good-to-be-true price of 85 bucks for both - yes, you read that right). I happen to be a pipe smoker of a number of years myself, and although I always keep an eye out for estate pipes...

    Nicotine and Addiction

    I've stopped the pipe for a few months at a time with relative ease and little drawback. I think the fact is there is little to no "convenience factor" like cigarettes or dip. So if I don't have time to sit down and enjoy a pipe, it's not happening. I smoke a few times a week now and still don't...

    Luxury Twist Flake in the Radice Rind. Much sweeter than anticipated and a fine warm weather smoke.

    How Important is One Pipe per Blend Type

    For me, I basically have 3 pipes: one (a Radice) for non-latakia heavy smokes like VAs, burleys, Balkans; one (a Savinelli) for latakia heavy English blends; and Missouri meerchaums for basically everything else like aromatics. I try not to overthink it too much and don't notice much ghosting...

    First bowl of Star of the East Gold in the Savinelli Sistina. So far a nice mellow English. Good with an espresso.

    Old Joe Krantz Blue Label in the Savinelli Sistina. Nice mellow smoke on a very warm Ohio day.
