I worked out a deal with a fine chap in Canada for my very first Dunhill, a 1956 Shell Briar 252 fishtail. It's a beauty, I can't wait to fire it up after work today. Here are a few pics:
And a few beautiful tins =)
The Peterson XL02 started gurgling on every bowl, smoked slowly or not, and I noticed that it was drilled extremely high. I ended up sending it back. I still have the Calabash, and after breaking it in it smokes like a champ. Nice little pipe for a quick smoke. I've since bought a Dunhill...
My pleasure Larry, enjoy in good health.
Bump for my wish to keep this moving! Any cigar or pipe tobacco you enjoy. Or if you have an old pipe tool or tamper laying around gathering dust :laugh:
Aside from that, I have no idea :sign:
Interesting, I wouldn't think a bowl with walls that thick would do that (but I'm new to pipes as well). I wonder if it's a reaction from heat? You might be able to sand it down and refinish it with something else.
I love the Peterson XL02, it has a good weight to it and feels comfortable in the hand. The Calabash is a little smaller than I thought it would be, but it's a beautiful pipe. It smokes well, but I think I might put it up for sale and get something a little larger. Photos of the two pipes! ...
These fly tomorrow Larry! DC: https://tools.usps.com/go/TrackConfirmAction!input.action?tLabels=9405503699300311322081<br /><br />Let me know when they arrive and I'll give you the box codes. <br /><br /><br />Alright CP! Update to my wish to keep this moving, whatever cigar or non-aromatic...
Thanks for your input brother. I thought about getting a cheaper pipe to get my feet wet, but figured I would do my homework and do my best to get it right the first go around. I ended up getting two pipes and some various tobacco to try. It should all be here on Monday:
Peterson Calabash...
Thanks brother! I'll check those out.
I perused eBay a little and saw a couple of pipes that I really like (which isn't saying much, since I know nothing about pipes). Does anyone have an opinion of them?

Hey gents,
I've smoked cigars for the past 5 years or so, and want to give pipes a try. I'm not sure what type of pipe to start with or what type of tobacco to try. I would rather get a decent pipe rather than a throw-away, and my cigar tastes gravitate toward Bolivar, H. Upmann, Cohiba, and...
Good news is that you likely still have at least half a year before any more layoffs kick in, if they do at all. The company could have just been purging high paid execs.
Great, I have a few you'll love. PM me your address and I'll have them out in tomorrow's mail. <br /><br />For my wish, I'd say any long & skinny ISOM. I've been getting into these lately and have only had the Cohiba Lancero and Por Larranaga Montecarlo. Aside from that, any cigar will do ;)
