Dunhill Shells
I don't care for rusticated or carved pipes, but a nice sandblast is a beauty. It enhances the natural character of the wood, IMO, the same way a smooth finish does. -

Anyone Gonna Be Watching Tucker's Interview With Vladimir Putin?

City Club Pipes... Any info at all is appreciated
"Imported Briar" means "Made in USA" and post-war. Maybe the City is New York! That's as far as my detection skills go. Someone here has the answer, though. That's an impressive hunk of briar, too!- cynyr

City Club Pipes... Any info at all is appreciated
Scully, I was thinking of a GBD sub-line, but that was "City deLuxe". Are there any other markings, at all? "City", in Pipeworld, almost always means London.- cynyr

Not so much "reading" it, as it is a dictionary, but it's propped up at the breakfast table for browsing. Dang, I loved those books!- cynyr

How to buy a Good Estate Pipe
This is because of pipemakers experimenting with "mission briar" during the war. It wasn't popular, for several reasons, so the post-war buyer wanted to be sure. Clearer and more succinct than I was able to say it. The more pictures, the better. Four crappy pictures means, at best, an amateur...- cynyr

How to buy a Good Estate Pipe
There is a LOT of great knowledge on this thread. Two things stand out: - Being aware of the history of the brand. That means study, a lot of it.

Pipe Sighting at the Movies
The great Donald 'Duck' Dunn, RIP. I watched a very good movie last night called Bertie and Elizabeth. In one scene, King George VI meets with Clement Atlee, who is smoking a silver-mounted full-bent. The King mentions that Atlee once gifted him this pipe with a "self-cleaning gadget".- cynyr
