    Is there a Dunhill Expert in the House?

    Hmm...hard to see the nomenclature on that one, and it doesn't look like any Dunhill shape I've ever seen. Also, the button on the stem doesn't look very Dunhill-esque (at least, not from the side). Then again, could be a one-off? I have a '67 Dunhill without one of the usual stamps, but...

    Wow.  You guys are fancy!  That Ygrek is out of this world!  Wouldn't mind one of those.  Lately, though, I have had my eye on the work of American pipe maker, Clark Layton: I'd love to get my hands on one of his "Trianglican" billiards.

    Tobacco pouch

    Hey Smokey, As a maker of pouches, I can tell you that the results I've had in trying to come up with the perfect lining to keep tobacco fresh has been very mixed and depends on a few variables.  The main variable, however, in how long tobacco will stay fresh in a pouch, is the tobacco itself...

    The 2012 forum POY is now ready for ordering.

    Saw Mark's pipes at the West Coast Pipe Show last weekend and met the man himself and, I have to say, I was really blown away by his work! Mark is a really nice guy and, he's super prolific to boot! He had his table filled with pipes! I really liked the Black & Tans and the Naked Corals...
