    Pipe That Whistles? Not The Tune I Want To Hear

    Carolina, just posted this on another thread. Disclaimer: not a professional by any means. My first briar was a Tinderbox basket pipe with shellac as the polish.

    Gurgle Possibly Caused by Draft Hole Construction?

    Sorry there are some that consider these pipes that davet. I consider briar, briar. I have some seconds from an eBay buy that are unfinished. They smoke better than a few of my higher end pipes. I just refinished a medico ebony bulldog and love it. The only pipes I dislike are the resin yelobole.

    Can Heat Ruin an Unopened Tin of Tobacco?

    Could this contribute to the mold problem that glp and c&d have had in the past? A post had come up that I read about on the forum. Heat and moisture in a can with a little oxygen and spores. Thoughts?

    "yello-bole" brand pipe

    Change of Scenery

    I was able to get this shank in an auction of a junk drawer. I love the shank and have plenty of smokable seconds. Heated the bowl in the microwave and removed stem and gorilla glued this into it. I had the same issue fishnbanjo, the person didn’t take care of the pipe.
