    Help Identifying 2 Dunhill Patent Era Pipes

    First, great find. The original color of the mouthpiece is the color you see on the tenon. Ebonite oxidizes over time and some factors such as exposure to fluorescent light can make it worse. My experience, I repeat my experience, with Dunhill is that the ebonite is of high quality and that...

    An Odd Duck Dunhill?

    Dunhill used to have the ES (perhaps extended shank) classification for large Canadians until the 70s, before the introduction of the ODA for that model. Later there was a slightly smaller EC version. Curiously, all the ones that are sealed EP have a longer mouthpiece than theirs, which has a...

    UFO's & UAP's: Is the Truth Out There?

    We will never know, because there are regions of the universe that we cannot observe. We only see the Hubble volume. Curious objects have been observed, such as a possible Dyson sphere, and a few years ago we split the first interstellar object in our neighborhood, Oumuamua. Things that could be...

    Luxury Estates or Excellent New Pipes?

    O.P. I haven't bought new pipes for many years. The prices seem high to me. I don't see a difference in quality between the two types of pipes you describe, so I would go for either type. I always buy my pipes from antique dealers. Many years ago I also used ebay and sometimes I use the local...

    UFO's & UAP's: Is the Truth Out There?

    The current explanation we have about how the universe works tells us that an object with mass cannot move at the speed of light and even at the speed of light interstellar travel is impractical. On the other hand, the scientific explanation we have about how living beings are formed tells us...

    UFO's & UAP's: Is the Truth Out There?

    Intelligent life, given the size and amount of matter we know there is in the universe, almost certainly exists. That they have visited Earth, from what we know of the universe, almost certainly not.

    A Progress Report

    God willing, you can fix it without surgery. My wife went through this and had surgery. She went from opiates to be able to sleep to no pain in a few days. In her case, it was a herniated disc.

    STG closes Mac Baren and Sutliff

    What I am saying is that tobacco, although addictive and harmful, does not make you stupid, nor does it weaken your mental abilities. Many great thinkers have been smokers. Any other drug, including alcohol (forgive the license to call it a drug) reaches a point where you cease to be a...

    STG closes Mac Baren and Sutliff

    The use of tobacco in all its forms is reduced by the stupid prohibitions and abusive taxes that are imposed on it. Both things are government issues, political decisions. People smoke less because it is increasingly difficult to do so outside the home and there are even restrictions designed so...

    STG closes Mac Baren and Sutliff

    Nicotine is the most dangerous drug for governments, because it is the only one that no matter how much you consume, it does not make you stupid.

    Dunhill Bruyere with Viewable Pit

    Every time the name Dunhill is said (or written), a number of misconceptions, myths and confusions rear their ugly heads. These are just pipes that have been marketed for the most exclusive sector of the market for a century.

    Pipe tragedy

    Yes, although that is something that is not officially stated. What is known is that in addition to being a pipe factory, they are collectors, maturers and a sawmill for briar for other clients. For now, they are concentrating on the civil recovery of the town of Aldaia, which suffered serious...
