    Wholesale and such...

    NOT Erinmore or Walnut! The candle shop down the street has those. Stokkebeyes (sp) Proper English and Cube Cut are good.

    Musical analosity,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

    I easily have 1,000 cds. My fear is listening to the same dozen, over and over. I put little red sticky dots on the cases to avoid this. When I don't know what I want to listen to, I reach for "undotted" music. I still repeat favorites, but, this gets me through the entire collection about once...

    BoB Zippo?

    It's also an excellent alternative to the salt and alcohol treatment.

    Unbelievable combination

    That's a keeper, JP. The front and back of the bowl on mine is transverse straight grain. Both sides are birdseye about as tight as a flock of hummingbirds in formation heading for Cancun to winter. Stunning! It is more than the equal of any of my Dunhills or Castello's. George did a...

    Unbelievable combination

    The pipe that follows the Stanwell in rotation, righteously so, is my Dunhill group six Shell straight bill. I think some Levin Intl. straight Syrian Lat and Vivaldi's Double Violin Concerto. Ya think? Is there a correlation between pipe, tobacco, and music?

    Unbelievable combination

    Had the Stany been a bent, heaven forbid, I would have paired it with Grieg and Troost. Yah?

    Unbelievable combination

    Good morning all! Truth be told; it was the BohScan and Albinoni. I tried the same pipe with Walnut and Dawg; shoulda known better. BTW: The combination was not DIAPHANOUS! Capo di tutti capi.
