    Should I Buy a Dunhill Estate?

    I find this thread very informative! I've struggled with adding any estate Dunhills to my collections of Petersons, Savinellis, Mark Tinskys, and recently a few Parkers. I typically smoke a few beater Peterson system pipes, but I collect more than I smoke. I find the woodwork and details to be...

    Hello from frigid Chicago, IL

    These bring back so many memories of the early nineties for me. The show was (and is) amazing! Thank you for posting these! Have you ever jumped out of your chair watching the Tony's the way we did when Greg won for Urinetown???

    Hello from frigid Chicago, IL

    Thank you!! I learned so much from alt.smoking.pipes (ASP) and Hacker's books. I read his and my other pipe books library this fall. I had no idea that Redditt has the old Usenet code under the hood. Makes sense. I wish I remembered more from those old threads. Is it possible to find that...

    Hello from frigid Chicago, IL

He's also published a book of poetry, "What the Sea Means", and some of his poems are published in a literary journal this month: Dave Awl: New Poems | Escape Into...

    Hello from frigid Chicago, IL

    Iwan Ries is like the pipe and cigar smoker's mecca isn't it? I need to get to the shop there sometime soon. I love oil-cured finishes, and how they age. Sounds great!

    Thank you. Wow! One of my best college friends, Dave Awl, was a Neo-Futurist. I've seen the show many many times, and am in touch with several cast members on FB. Small world!

    Hello from frigid Chicago, IL

    I'd like to meet with the Chicagoland club very much! I've never been. We do have some good tobacconists around here. Thank you for the invitation.

    Hello from frigid Chicago, IL

    Thank you, sir! We've been pretty fortunate so far in terms of snowfall. It was a mild December and start of this month. We just began with single-digit temps and below zero windchill. The cold season is here. It makes you, hearty, right? I hope your snow and ice melt quickly, and that you...

    Hello from frigid Chicago, IL

    Hello all, I'm a 25-year pipe smoker but had a lapse in my enjoyment of our hobby for many years. I started up again this year and quickly remembered how much I enjoy a good smoke and collecting pipes. I was a member of the earliest form of forums when the Internet was on Usenet...
