Early Parkers :) Great buy's pete the russet's i've had have always been a lovely smoke, so fingers crossed it should be as nice & don't get me started on pipe cleaning and how the hell someone managed to smoke them, I have had some beauty's pass thru my hands ,I could go on for pages I have...

Thanks stick sorry for late reply have had a hectic week ,the paja is stunning it came into my possession very well looked after some slight rim darkening i had to attend to but overall was mint, believe it or not I have sold half a dozen mastro de paja's & have yet to smoke one (shame on me)...

I am another small pipe guy Size 3 & 4 Dunhill's, my rotation is 90% flake so for taste & burn quality it has kind of gone that way, I have struggled smoking flake in anything bigger, I know there are lots that can do it but it's not for me, my collection is built up of mainly billiard's...

Have to totally agree with this the older my pipes get the better they smoke especially the ones from the 50's & 60's Don't think this kind of discussion would ever be concluded ,so many different personal view's/opinions & as said variables to even make a judgment , I don't think even the...

Hehe i wish they did have just a big pile of briar ready to throw away, because i would be knee deep in it:0

The other 95% goes out to there sub brand manufactured pipes as seconds normally, the 5% is quoted and is widely known as the figure for the pieces that make it with no imperfections ,weather this is true or not we will possibly never know, it may be Dunhill using it as a marketing tool to...

Briar is a natural resource and as such can be graded, this causes a pricing structure where demand for the BEST cuts of briar become more valuable especially when you take that possibly only 5% of the briar that dunhill buy turns into a pipe that price for that one block has raised considerably...

Hi Pete, I increased the depth of the tenon drill-out by 5mm, opened the airway up to 4mm from 3.5mm then counter-sunk the drilled hole tenon side to take the sharp drilled edge off, pipe smoked lovely but for some reason just felt like it couldn't breath also think it helped with the slight...

Thanks guy's Yeh the first is my favorite too Yak, picture doesn't really show how great the blast is on the pipe, it's a life time keeper that's for sure :)

Strange because it is opposite for me the dryer it gets the harder it is to control tongue burn, Direct out the tin if i'm rubbing it out it gets 10 mins tops ,if I'm going to roll the flake to pack bowl it may get 30 mins, but the pipe used makes a massive difference to tongue bite that's for...

Found a nice remedy for soar tongue bite here in the Uk but I am sure you guy's In USA will have something similar its called Aloe Vera Juice used for digestive constitution sold in Holland & barret, get it as pure as possible it works wonders as a mouth wash As a smoker of mostly VA's &...

That's a beauty Yak, pure classic and the darker stain they used back then made them look so rich, the smooth finished pipes all went a bit red or tan towards the late 60's I've been quite lucky with stems on mine other than the knee deep oxidization and the slightest of chatter to fix they have...

I have a Parker Patent Canadian as well Yak Bark finish marked 63/F similar size to a 3 & same as you I find its a wonderful pipe to smoke, I am very anal when it comes to my rotations but certain pipes just keep breaking that drying and resting cycle and that pipe is one of them Would love to...
