Pipe Bits - Do they work?
You can get them at just about any pipe store or on line. I use them on some pipes.....the ones I tend to clinch and or walk around with in my mouth. They are rubbery so do fit any stem.

Making an Easy Pipe Tool?
Case makes a mini "doctors" knife. The great things about Doctor models are they have a flat bolster = perfect tamper, a spatula blade = great bowl cleaner and of course a regular blade = always handy.

Holiday Blend of Choice?
McC Holiday Cheer is great, note is a lady killer as well and "thats all I'm goin to say about that". McC Christmas Cheer 2011 is a personal favorite as well. I enjoy this mild smoke in the evenings. Both are pricy but worth every cent.- stryder

I think I have figured out what makes a "Navy"
Perhaps I do have a strange nose for the room note of tobaccos or maybe I tend to smoke too many aromatics.

I think I have figured out what makes a "Navy"
Granted I have only smoked 2 "Navy" tobaks. They were very different except for one thing....they both are best smoked in the middle of ocean on a boat/ship with a stiff breeze blowing the smoke away from any other human!!!!! Wow the nose of Navy is something special! ;)- stryder

Two pipe questions
What I have learned holds true to the post here. Loose pack burns cooler. Paper towel lightly in new pipes to help develop even cake. I do throughly clean the stem with Everclear after each smoke....maybe over kill but never have a bad taste.- stryder
