dunhill is supposed to start releasing their blends in the US within the year. don't know what blends yet, some of the ones we're used to seeing & some discontinued ones also.

i don't have any bad smokers. life's too short, if they don't meet my standards & can't be fixed, they're firewood.

there's a few different makes of this type: http://grayfoxonline.com/images/fourwaytee.jpg i also use a British Buttner for tapered bowls: http://www.iwanries.com/Butner_Style_Reamer_P1929C522.cfm 150 grit sandpaper on a finger or a wood dowel can also be used.

i don't know about those particular GBD's, but i do know GBD made pipes for a few different stores. i have a late 60's/early 70's GBD 1/8 bent brandy made for The Smoker that's a primo smoke. it sounds like yours should be earlier than that, increasing the chances that it'll be a good smoker...

i know a guy that uses Glad Twist & Lock containers when he travels. they seal well 7 you don't have to worry about denting. a piece of dowel rod works for a tamper, or you can try a Czech tool on your keyring. either matches or using a lighter case takes care of the fire.

shoot, i keep 24 small jars on a tray that i pull from regularly. i'd say i smoke from all of 'em over the course of a month.

Bruce, i wish all the best to ya. i know it can't be easy to temporarily pause enjoying the pipe. just remember that it's for a greater good & you'll be back puffing w/us in a short time. stock up on those Dunnies in the meanwhile!

my main reason for picking the pipe back up a while back was to quit cigs. i kept getting nasty chest colds that lasted from fall to spring. at 1st i smoked 10+ bowls/day, usually high nic blends like 5 Bros., Irish Flake, Univ. Flake. now almost a year later i smoke around 3 bowls/day & no...

i wanna say early 60's IIRC.

yes

i'd think it's pretty light too, if at all. to me it's lighter in body than Red Raparee.

let's go with 162 thanks for the contest!

don't know how long you've been piping for, but i couldn't taste much when i 1st started. because of that, i stayed w/mostly english blends. smoking cigars & cigs also seems like it confuses your taste buds. now that i've smoked a pipe for a little while, i can taste a lot more. VA's for...

i don't like the P-lips at all. i reshaped the ones i have into a modified fishtail. P&C sells fishtail system stems, but you'd probably have to send the pipe to Peterson or a repairman for any of the other models.

another variable that could be the culprit is how often & how you puff. tamping (or lack of it) also has a bit to do w/it. when i had more of a problem w/keeping it lit than i do now, i eliminated the easiest 1st. i dry my tobac enough so that when i pinch it together it doesn't stick then...

red raparee is one of my favorite blends. i've been lucky in that my local shop stocked up on several lbs. before blending switched to K&K. all the blends have aged nicely & there's no bite. i've also had some current production RR, didn't have a problem w/it biting either.

for McClelland tins (like your Frog Morton) the 1st 2 #'s are the batch #, the nexty 4 are the month & year. here's a couple links on tin dating for various makers: http://www.loringpage.com/PipeArticles/tobdatepaper.html http://www.loringpage.com/attpipes/duntobac.htm hope this helps

a friend of mine bought one of the "new" tins. they're imported now by Stokkebye.

i cut slices w/a cigar cutter, then rub 'em out to ribbons after they dry.

what exactly was in that pipe your were smoking?
