I have a Dunhill group 3 style 56 that is good for about 20 minutes.

Balkan Sobranie in a 57 dunhill 120.

I know people with a lot more! Mine is really rather humble. I dropped 20 grand before the great Syrian fiasco to stock up on everything, luckily the prices were rather low back then. I continued to stock up gradually after that.

Somewhere around 400 pounds. Mostly Schurch Blends and proper English, for bulks, but have a little of most Latakias. Over a thousand tins, Dunhills, Exotique, Balkan Sobranie, Raven's Wing, mostly latakias, Dunhill light navy flake for my virginia fix.

I just opened a tin of Original Three Nuns, 4 oz tin, around 30+ years old. Instead of the sugar coated goodness I expected to find, I found dried out little circles. I am reconstituting it right now with the old "in a bowl with a wet cloth over it" method. Any other suggestions?

Thanks guys!

I sent an email to JohnyFlake for his Dunhill Tobacco list. He let me know he lost it when his computer crashed. He suggested I ask on the board if anyone else had it. I would appreciate any help. If you can please email to [email protected] Thanks!

In answer to the Mel Krieger pipes, they are well smoked and pretty run of the mill. There is nice Peterson bent, a Parker and a Castle and some others, including a corn cob. King of funny, I place all my pipes as higher end than the ones I bought from his estate, but with them came two...

Sparse Grey Hackle goes way back. I have just purchased a few pipes and implements from the estate of Mel Krieger. I wish I had fished half the places these pipes have seen.

Looks like a great site, looking forward to the brotherhood. I am 51, long time pipe smoker preferring Dunhill 120s and Balkan Sobranie or other heavy latakia blends. Now if I can just learn to smoke a pipe while fly fishing and not drop it in the water.
