I find the Dunhill sizing to be very useful in a general sense. It is about the only sizing standard I know of. I smoke mostly grp 4 and up, and have found sizing to be fairly consistent. My favorite size the last few years is a grp5. I have half dozen Dunhill 5s, and they all have a .75 ID...

Some five year old FVF in an Astley Square Paneled Billiard.

Have read that pipes were made of most any wood available. One reference book I read said the first semblance of a pipe was Indians who dug a small hole in the ground, lined it with damp leaves, then filled it with tobacco and inserted a long reed into the ground to intersect with the bottom of...

St. James Flake in a Peitenpauw Lovat.

C&D Opening Night in a Cavicchi Canadian.

No expert here, but whistling is an airway problem, they shouldn't do it.

Old Dark Fired in an Astley Oom Paul.

Irish Flake in an old gold A Ascorti.

One of my favorites is Dark Flake Unscented. Unscented is just cased, the scented is cased and topped. Both have signiificant floral.
