    Legal Pipes/Crappy Pipes

    I’ve never dealt with Legal Pipes but Joshua has been around the hobby for a pretty long time. I believe his day job is a NYC attorney.

    Smoking in my Bedroom with a Blueair Purifier?

    I don’t smell it but I’m sure everything in my world smells like stale Latakia. I was 3 people behind an old guy at the store the other day who reeked of cigarettes. I was kinda grossed out. I’m not smoking 3 packs of nails a day but I imagine that’s what most people think when they walk into...

    Smoking in my Bedroom with a Blueair Purifier?

    I’d try it with the doors and window closed but without a dedicated smoke eater with a charcoal odor filter she might not be happy. I have a buddy who was not happy with his Blueair he had better luck with a Rabbit with the charcoal filter but even with that his wife could smell smoke.

    What is Castello’s Great Line?

    The White Bar is the most common since 1997 before that all the Hallco imported pipes had the rhinestone trademark. The white stems have a Black Dot trademark.

    What is Castello’s Great Line?

    Castello nomenclature is confusing at best. The only constant is inconsistency. I don't get to excited about what's stamped, I either like the pipe or I don't. As it happens I don't usually like GL's. Here is a snippet from a piece by Bob Hamlin that I have archived on paper and on my computer...

    What is Castello’s Great Line?

    I think of Great Lines two ways. One, the most common is a bent Dublin shape usually with a round shank and an oval bowl and two, much less common is an extra stamp with a higher price an a larger or unique take on a standard shape. I know they are sold at a premium price. My buddy Richard...

    What "The Wife" Thinks

    My wife tolerates it and has even shown some interest and a little pride in the collection. She’ll even tolerate one cigar a day on long multi day road trips.

    The Pheasant Run Years of the CPS will be Missed

    The Tower had a total had a total makeover when we arrived in 2002 and was a huge upgrade from the Ramada and our one year at Indian Lakes. Everything worked and was really nice. The resort went slowly downhill after the family sold it and nosedived after the first bankruptcy.

    Experience with Vintage Dunhill Rollagas Lighters from eBay?

    I don’t think so but there are other dedicated Dupont lighter groups on Facebook. On a side note, since this thread was last active ARS has Rollagas pipe burners back in stock. I bought 3 pipe burners from China to try getting eBay lighters restored and converted by Facebook guys at a fraction...
