A Better Pipe Smoking Community

Morning everyone!

First smoke of the day is some Erinmore Balkan in a BC Mirage, I'm at the book shop til 2 then it's off to see my cats.

It has been really rainy for the past couple of weeks here, and in true SA fashion, the roads are falling to pieces (i'm sure given six months and too much money they'll be fixed)

Hiss! anyway, have a super day everyone!

Uncomfortable sponge curlers? Sub zero temperatures? What a great time to go outside without a coat on and take pictures of myself, I thought.

I took around fifty pictures. I am posting the ones in which I didn't come out looking like a befuddled dromedary. You do the math.

Get up on the lates news articles! Here is the link...

Afternoon all. Hellishly hot with a chance of showers later. Just finishing up a bowl of OGS in my ckr billiard. Great combination. Think it might be FVF in a GBD a little later. One of the joys of working at home is that I can smoke at will. The downside is I smoke a lot! Not that I'm complaining. Been a full day so far. Now need to get some work done on the budget for this year. Enjoy those pipes today.

Hey all-

Just picked up my first Peterson, a Shamrock XL02. Smoked by buddies Aran XL02 and loved the shape, but I love the raw, rustication even more. Does anyone have any info on the Shamrock series? I've heard they are considered "seconds." Can anyone give me a bit more detail as to what that means? Thanks a lot!

After a saturdays dinner, when a lot of good things were eaten, drunk, and of course,....smoked!!

Sunday morning started, with Virginia No.1, of course, and now is Peterson's Sweet Killareney in my Petrson Kemnare Bulldog!! I have to stick with aromatics when my wife is at home!!! :-)

A blisteringly hot day here on the SA highlands. Full Virginia Flake in an old Pete 314.

I have just placed massive quantities of tobacco in sterilized quart size mason jars, clean lids, clean insides, but is there anything else I need to do. Someone mentioned once heating them up to create a strong seal, but is that really necessary. Also do I need to wax the tops.

Capt. Bob, I know you have some tobacco in jars, what do you do?

Good morning all. I was hoping you might be able to assist me with some Dunhill markings. I'm curious about a pipe that is said to be a 2001 shell briar group 4 9mm filter. It has the 01 next to the "Made in England" and a 4 inside a circle, but the shape number is "907". It is also marked "9mm". I have a few newer Dunhills and I'm familiar with the four number shapes and the newer dating system, but in my limited experience I haven't seen a recent pipe like one from 2001 marked with a "907".
