This seems like a pretty reasonable explanation, but is probably not the gospel. Hopefully there are some Dunhill pipe historians who can set the record straight though! https://pipedia.org/wiki/Parker

Well great, now I have to go watch Band of Brothers for the umpteenth time.

Great looking pipe, and great job restoring it! One of my first pipes was a pot shaped Willard and it's still one of my favorite smokers. Unlike Kaywoodies, the stingers on Willards are removable, it might take a little heat if it hasn't been removed in a while, but it pulls out from the...

For the last three months, In order of weight smoked: - GH Ennerdale Flake/mixture - GH Kendal Flake - Sir Walter Raleigh Aromatic - Stokkebye Luxury Navy Flake - GH Dark Flake Aromatic I can confirm that Ennerdale mixture is simply the flakes that are too beat up to package nicely, not a...

Did you win those tubs Ranger? I just got the P&C email about their SWR going on sale today, but it's still $24.17 for 7 oz. tub. That's almost as much as a tub of Captain Black, which is ridiculous IMHO lol

I had to make a trip to Lakeview on Tuesday for work and not only did they have an ACE hardware, but it had Strike Anywhere matches! The matches and the beautiful drive almost made up for the fact that the "important" meeting I made the trip for could have been easily summed up in a short email...

That's what I thought because I remember seeing them there my whole life, but that's no longer the case, in my neck of the woods at least.

I've found myself using matches, over lighters, with increasing frequency to smoke my pipes lately. All I can find at my locally though is the terrible, thin, and anemic green tipped variety of matches that became ubiquitous somehow. For some reason the "strike anywhere" variety is nowhere to...

Aussie's lobster post reminded me of this one.

I've read all his articles about cellaring, aging, and storing tobacco but must have missed the one about humidity. Your hot tub story had me laughing because it sounds like something I would have tried 😅 of course knowing my luck, the bowl would have tipped over and made a whole batch of...

I live in a fairly dry climate (15% humidity is about average). I've tried humidifying packs, tin foil with wet paper towels, etc. Boveda packs and the other methods just become too much of a hassle when I started amassing more jars lol. These days I just spritz/mist a little water directly into...

Captain Black and Half and Half are my two favorite codger blends. They're both sweet in different ways, like having a pastry (captain black ) versus some gummy bears (half and half). If it was summertime and I had to pick one, it would be half and half. Right now if I had to pick one, it would...

My too bud lol! I like some tobacco fresh out of the can though, Orlik Golden slices is better fresh than aged in my opinion, when I'm in the mood for some fresh and citrusy Virginia. Sixpence and Hado's Delight might taste better with some age, and I intended to cellar a bunch of them, but the...

Ya, it's definitely a change. I used to hate baking because the gluten free recipes always turned out so bad, until I stopped using "gluten free" recipes and just substituted gf flour in regular ones. Those gluten free recipes always have to include some hippie-dippy things so you can make them...

I always keep a can of those cinnamon rolls on hand and throw them in the air fryer when I'm in the mood. I always feel guilty, like a husband drinking and eating sushi in front of his pregnant wife, whenever I eat gluten in front of my wife though lol!
