    Meer Replacement Stem

    Hello all, Today a lot of old estate pipes I won on ebay came in. I was surprised when at the bottom of the pile of pipes was a meerschaum. It seems to be in good condition as well....except that the stem that it has is obviously not the original stem. Even worse, the stem that is currently...

    Smoking and Foul Weather

    Advice on my new pipe (and potentially PAD)

    Have you tried the Middle Earth Pipeweed Series blends?

    I tried shortcut to mushrooms tonight for the first time and I must say I am a huge fan. A bit on the lighter side, but so good. I have a feeling it will find its way into my normal rotation.

    So far I am the warmest (go southern california) at 64 degrees (F). Although we are expecting a bit of rain so that puts a damper in things.

    Does Weber Make A Good Pipe

    HAHA ok well I guess I would agree that "perfect" is really in the eye of the beholder.... but this pipe has better grain than most of my other pipes. I tend to prefer any grain that is really uniform and nice and sticks out. I guess that this wouldn't be "perfect" but I sure enjoy looking at...

    Does Weber Make A Good Pipe

    I got a weber pipe for cheap in an ebay win a few weeks ago. I cleaned it up and now its honestly one of my favorite pipes. Not only does it look amazing and have PERFECT grain, but it smokes great. I havent heard anything else about weber pipes, but from my experience they are great. If you...
