    Showoff Your Dunhill Pipes Here!

    Nice finds for an excellent price. 1951 on the billiard (based on circled group number, but I could be wrong and it might be 1950) and 1939 on the Bulldog.

    STG closes Mac Baren and Sutliff

    Did you jar or Mylar? I have a couple of pounds of St Bruno pouches from Estervals and would love them to last... I'm fortunate enough to have had some Ogden's Bruno and I'm devastated I didn't get more of it.

    Psst: Wanna Buy Some Mouldy Cheese?

    That does sound like a reasonable system. Unfortunately prosecutions for shoplifting in the UK are extraordinarily low, even if CCTV footage or photos are available (I think it's about 14%). I also remember reading somewhere that most shopworkers won't even bother reporting it anymore in some...

    Opening A Tin? Show Us!

    Very nice find! Having had some 80s Condor Long Cut I think you're in for a treat.

    Peterson Christmas Pipes

    Always the right choice!

    Peterson Christmas Pipes

    I must admit I was somewhat tempted by a Heritage D17 this year, but I still just feel pretty ambivalent about that finish. Did you pick one up?

    Peterson Christmas Pipes

    Yep, someone linked them to me a couple of days ago. Didn't see any smooths on any of the UK websites, unless they got snapped up instantly. Thankfully, I had already got mine!

    🎄🌟 The Unofficial Official PM Secret Santa 2024 Thread 🌟 🎄

    I'm in. I hope someone's ready for my Pringles-inspired experiments with Ranch casings.

    Falcon Pipes

    I suspect it's nearly impossible to get a bad smoke from a Falcon. I've got briar bowls and a meer bowl, I use them mostly as travel or outdoorsy pipes. Don't bother with the little dry rings, they're not necessary. In general my earlier stems have much nicer bits, so it may be worth trying to...

    Opening A Tin? Show Us!

    I thought Le Petit Robin was mostly Virginia with a bit of Semois as a condiment (although I've never smoked it). When I was in Belgium they had a shag cut in a red packet, but it was called something different (and I only bought the Green and Brown packets - both pure Semois but different cuts).

    Peterson Christmas Pipes

    Are the Christmas pipes not coming to the UK at all this year? I got one thanks to @AroEnglish, but just curious if anyone knows.

    Britain's Best Briar Pipe Found in Antique Shop - Should I Buy?

    Another option for a replacement stem (not sure on silverwork) is Mike Billington at Blakemar Briars. I really like his stems. @simong is Cambridge Pipe Repair still going?

    Interesting Completed Ebay Auctions - British Pipes

    So sorry to see this @orlandofurioso ... I hope you can repair it in some way at least!

    Britain's Best Briar Pipe Found in Antique Shop - Should I Buy?

    It's from 1906, looks nice. You can get a new stem made for it, which will obviously reduce its value but will give you a cool old meer to smoke.

    Fights: AJ vs Dubois- Who Will Watch?

    He did. I think Dubois is looking really impressive at the moment, but it was easy to look impressive against the AJ that turned up to the fight. Dubois did get rocked by that one good punch, but then look how much damage he managed to suck up in the Hrgovic fight... Dubois still looks like he's...

    Fights: AJ vs Dubois- Who Will Watch?

    Well, it was an excellent fight, and Triple D payed for my breakfast this morning. I couldn't believe how many people thought AJ would beat him, the poll at the start had over 80% of the crowd for Joshua.

    Fights: AJ vs Dubois- Who Will Watch?

    Thanks! I will be watching on DAZN, it all starts at 4pm in the UK, with the main fight expected at 11pm.

    Fights: AJ vs Dubois- Who Will Watch?

    I've got a little flutter on Dubois winning by KO or TKO (you never know!). Should be a good fight, but some of the undercard fights look pretty good, particularly Cacace vs Warrington. Willy Hutchinson should also be good to watch.

    Inhalation

    When I was first moving from fags to the pipe I used to accidentally inhale a bit. After quitting, I don't inhale at all anymore. And even though I still go through the occasional two or three week period of smoking cigarettes, I can still pick up a pipe and not inhale it. In darker days I...

    Peterson Christmas Pipes

    Appreciate that, I'm not worried about well-done fills. My Rosslares (all a few years old) all have a couple of small fills. I'm more worried about pits and dings that haven't been filled.
