Hello From Sofia, Bulgaria
I have the very fondest memories of Sofia--where I spent several days on a trip devoted to following one of the original routes of the Orient Express. The first leg of my trip (London to Venice) was in surreal luxury devoted to celebrating the train's centennial. The rest of my trip to Istanbul...- guylesss

Marvich's chainsaw massacres--which first began to appear in fairly significant number mid-July.

I suppose the seller deserves some credit for not trying to the disguise radical major surgery he has performed on pipes that I presume seemed beyond saving. But I must say when I first began to stumble on these ebay listings my heart sank and I thought--to put the matter politely--WTF?- guylesss

New York City
Parks are theoretically nonsmoking. But the disneyfication of Times Square and eliminating traffic from many Manhattan streets to make pedestrian malls with chairs and tables may not be a bad bet near your hotel--especially early morning and weekday evenings. if you keep a reasonable distance...- guylesss

Late 1919 Dunhill Bulldog 1
Congratulations on a wonderful find in what appears to be extraordinarily good shape. Especially nice is seeing how legible is all its nomenclature including the reg number on the stem. The arched Dunhill very precisely dates your Quaint "O" model bulldog to 1919, and as the page below shows, it...- guylesss

Showoff Your Dunhill Pipes Here!
Bravo Jon! For a moment, Google misled me into speculating that perhaps the far more famous financier, art collector and Franco-Peruvian guano king of this name might have been a hobbyist goldsmith. But then I found a query on the website of the ASCAS with pictures of an attractive silver...- guylesss

Showoff Your Dunhill Pipes Here!

The first difficulty is that Dunhill's earliest pipes remain a particularly murky subject, and...- guylesss

Landline Phone Down? Good Luck
@mso489, you need to START with your state regulator. To be brief, when phone lines were regulated as a utility, you enjoyed a number of actual legal rights. At least some of these continued after deregulation--in some states after very long legal battles ending in "consent decrees"--that still...- guylesss

S.T. Dupont Lighter Owners Club
I only own large Line Ones (and only use Dupont fuel which burns quite clean). But on these if you unlatch the spring that holds the flint in place, that closes the nozzle so you can work at leisure. Hope this helps.- guylesss
