    Do you let your pipes dry with the stems separated from the shank? Question: After completely cooling, I take out the stem from the shank and clean the whole pipe and shank properly. Then I put the pipe away to dry for 3 or 4 days (at the very least) without reattaching the stem. They seem to...

    What Does Abusing a Return Policy Look Like?

    That's not been my experience. I've made several thousand dollars worth of purchases with them and only requested a return on one pipe. I bought an expensive Nording from them.

    Hello, and Please Don’t Judge Dunhill.

    Hello, and Please Don’t Judge Dunhill.

    I am an east cost person (D.C/New York corridor) who is now working in CA. But I spent Covid in Richmond, working in a great Cigar and Pipe store. That's where I started smoking pipes. I went from 5 cigars a day to maybe once a month now that I smoke a pipe. I'm not sure I've settled on an...

    Hello from MW

    Hello folks! I’m rather new to pipe smoking Dash been smoking regularly for about five months. I have smoked three or four cigars a day for the last 12 years and was hoping pipe smoking would help me get over that addiction and for the most part it has. Now I smoke 1 to 0 cigars per day, and the...
