    Many Thanks, Brothers!

    Dunhill Shell Briar Rubdown

    Is it an inherent (i.e. deliberate) feature of this finish to gradually rub away to reveal deep ruby coloring (Bruyere-ish) in the negative spaces of the grain?

    Just want to tell all you brothers out there that this man is beyond fair when it comes to doing business with. He will bend over backwards to make sure that any transaction will make you satisfied, and if that means going an extra mile or two, he's already got his running shoes ON! In all...

    Pipe from a special place

    My first thought when looking at that pipe was "Holy smoke!" but then I realized that, of course, is the whole point of the pipe!

    Where in the World Can You Buy Esoterica Tobaccos?

    arkansaspiper - Yes, Stonehaven is one of the blends I am seeking out, as well as Dunbar, Dorchester and Tilbury. Did you buy your Stonehaven recently, and if so , where did you purchase it?

    Where in the World Can You Buy Esoterica Tobaccos?

    Jim and drumsandbeer - Nice that you mention esoterica blends at a bunch of places last week, and drums, you even picked up some Dunbar and Scarborough. Would it be rude of me to ask you if you thought it might help me out a little by telling me WHICH places these were and Drums, WHERE you...

    Where in the World Can You Buy Esoterica Tobaccos?

    I've just about given up the chase. Every month or so, 3 or 4 online sources, NOBODY seems to ever have anything by these guys. What is the secret behind their distribution?

    A horn

    What a beautiful pipe! It took me YEARS to actually see the horn shape as a viable pipe, now I finally do and I want so many of them, including the ones I let slip through my fingers by now famous artisan at back-then prices. Looks like a perfect smoke after that delicious pie, too!

    A special gift

    Thank you so very much, for the photo of the beautiful pipe and its personal background, and especially for the telling of the Lakota pipe ceremony. I have but one question regarding this ceremony; is the pipe passed around the circle only once (meaning each person takes only one puff)? It...

    Finis

    "I feel like I just finished a book I didn't want to end".............I think Richard Burley summed it up perfectly.   Nothing left for me to do except to toss in my hatful of "THANKS" for keeping me enthralled with such beauty for so long. Keep on keeping it smokey, fishnbanjo. S13

    Anyone have a spare $12,00.00 ?

    So the "lightly smoked" ones are the Bruyeres that were apparently lit with a blowtorch?

    Have I Killed My Pipe?

    Thanks for all the replies, brothers. Lonecoyote, I dedicate most of my pipes to a single tobacco ( I know, OCD) and this pipe has had almost 3 50 gram tins smoked through it. I was just looking at the inside of the bowl with a strong penlight and there's plenty of cake all the way down with...

    Have I Killed My Pipe?

    Smoking one of my favorite pipes this morning, a Radice (Clear) bent Dublin with massively thick walls, I let things get out of hand and smoked it too hot, too far. One of the prime mortal sins of pipe smoking I've managed to avoid, and finally, even after flirting with it at times, finally I...
