    Unknown Accessory Help

    I was looking for some help identifying this item. It was in a lot of Dunhills, has the white dot on top of the stem and there's a draft hole on the side of the chamber thing. Any ideas? unknown

    Going Back to Wet Shave/Safety Razor

    I use an old Israeli boar hair brush and a puck of VDH in my grandfathers Old Spice mug. I use a straight most of the time, but will use a cartridge razor when myblades are out for honing. Nothing better than an old fasioned wet shave to get the day going.

    Barling Londoner

    I have a Barling Londoner with BB&S on the stem. AFAIK the Londoner is only post transition. It's a favorite pipe of mine and am smoking it today. I will say that i have never seen a bent Londoner.

    Broken Pipe (Repair Suggestions)

    I had the same problem and just cut it down to a nosewarmer. Check the thread Another Broken Heart. It took me 30 minutes to make the repair.

    On the Topic of Value Pipes: Grabow

    I only have 1 blue viscount ajustomatic with the stinger still intact. It's a decent smoker with an open draw.

    Another Broken Heart

    The stem was already removed and when i bent it there was a ton of oxidation. It was nothing that some oxiclean soak a.d magic eraser couldn't remove as you can see from the pics. I will try boiling the broken part to get the band, maybe get it sized to fit my finger.

    Another Broken Heart

    @eibhir Thanks for the recommendation on getting the band off.

    Another Broken Heart

    I didn't consider wood because i want to put a bright blue or green piece in there. Maybe emerald green since it's a pete.

    Another Broken Heart

    This is what I have so far. I just need to get some acrylic to finish it off.

    Another Broken Heart

    Yesterday I took out the dremel and carefully ground it flat and then hand drilled the shank to accommodate the stem. I also put a slight bend in the stem. It smokes great but needs to be prettied up a bit before I post pics. I'm thinking of an acrylic band between shank and stem.

    Not yet Back in the Saddle

    Unfortunately, I can't help you out here. I had my spinal fusion during my nicotine free years and I can't use morphine. I can tell you that I have not had any issues with my pain meds and tobacco taste. My main advice is to do your physical therapy. I didn't and have not had a pain free day in...

    I Broke My cherry

    Since i've been broke lately, all i've been smoking is CH and am loving it. Nothing compared to my favorites but i now realize why it's been around since the stone age.

    If you aim at nothing, you will hit it. Don't know who to attribute that to.
