The Chicago Show seemed to be successful and I had a great time! The new location was really nice and all the services I used were perfect. Had a nice time hanging with @BriarBeagle for awhile Thursday.

Very Sad News. RIP I’ve known Craig for a long time. We shared a love for all things Dunhill. Here we are together at the show in 2013. https://www.friedrichjones.com/obituaries/Craig-J-Cobine?obId=31117226

I picked this monster off a neighbors tree yesterday. Thought I hit the jackpot until I cut it open. What a disappointment. His other tree has delicious thin rind ruby’s but most are very small.

My budget is going to have me eating leftovers off of room service trays in the hall but we’ll have a good time!

I’ve never missed the Chicago Show. I’ll be flying in Thursday morning and leaving Monday night. I’m excited, I have a magnificent pipe waiting to be picked up Sunday after being displayed. The new location looks great.

I have the tobacco I keep in a decorative humidor in a plastic bag. I wouldn’t mess with the stone. From experience nothing good would come of it. A small Bovida if necessary.

Barclay-Rex in the financial district has some pipes, tobacco and a free lounge. Dunhill doesn’t have anything except a couple of lighters. Davidoff has a few pipes and tobacco’s but the lounge went private a while back. We alway went to the NY Pipe Show and a few days doing the broadway/...

Unfortunately it might be disposable. Check Facebook for collector groups. ARS might be able to help. https://lighterrepairs.com/

I was active on Smokers Fourm when a group of the guys launched IPSD. I pooh poohed it but I’ve got to say it has really taken off and become day to rally around our hobby.

Calling BS. Looks like you found what you wanted to see via google.

Welcome from SoAz! Some really interesting recollections from the good old days. I know that cutter had a historic life before McClelland. I don’t know what happened to it after they shut down. I have a MT birth certificate but my earliest days were spent in western ND. My peeps came from...
