    Pipe staining, restoring, repair

    Hi guys. Again, asking for help from those wiser and more experienced than me! I just completed sanding a pipe and re-finishing with fiebings leather dye. I then bought caranuba wax flakes which I melted and tried to apply to the pipe. Try not to laugh! Anyway that was a disaster. So, I tried...

    Sanding Pipe, Restoring Pipe, Bubble Finish

    Hi Guys, and thanks in advance. It's great there is some sort of forum that I can ask the many pipe related questions that I have. I have three pipes that I bought, mainly because the finishes looked nice. It turns out the fancy finishes have a habit of bubbling and coming off in parts. As I...

    New Pipe, Old Pipe, Seasoning, Flavour, Sitting for too long, Renovating House

    A bit random. Firstly, during some home renovations quite a few of my pipes ended up full of dust and debris. It's given them a bit of a funky flavor. Just wondering will this wear off? I'm hope the burning tobacco might burn the dust off them after a couple of smokes. Sorry, I know it's an odd...

    Draw on pipe

    Totally random. And somewhat a paradox, since I bought the pipe to mellow out and be less obsessive... But, I find that some of my pipes have a quite tight draw and some of them are not tight if you can describe it that way (This is while drawing on the stem before putting in any tobacco). For...

    Moisture in pipe

    Hi guys, been smoking pipes about 3 years (switched from cigarettes). I have circa 40 pipes. Of those, 6 are peterson system pipes. They smoke quite well in general and moisture accumulates in the reservoir as it is supposed to. However, when I smoke any of my other pipes, moisture accumulates...

    Cake in Heel of Pipe

    Hi Guys, not sure if I'm posting correctly, can't quite figure this site out. Anyway, one of my pipes (Peterson system 303) which I have been smoking in my rotation for the past two years seems to have developed a 'channel' in the heel of it where I use my pipe tool to unblock and clear out the...

    Beginner, Smoking the same pipe, Rotation

    Hi Guys, new to pipe smoking. Rotating between a variety of different pipes, mainly Petes. When I started smoking the system pipes I used to empty the reservoir on each smoke, but then I started blowing all that crap into the bowl and not cleaning as often. This hasn't proven detrimental and...

    Peterson Pipes, Spigots, System Pipes

    Phew, finally I can post a new topic. Generally speaking, I smoke Peterson system pipes as I tend to drool a lot and it tends to be more pleasant when I'm not drawing drool through the stem! That said, I also have non system pipes and have been working on my technique a bit and seem to only get...

    How long to break in Pipes

    Hi I'm new to pipe smoking, well relatively. Started years ago the odd pipe, maybe at Christmas. Cigarette smoker otherwise. Have now switched completely to pipe and have several Peterson pipes. None of them have that 'nutty' flavour people refer to and none of them smoke particularly sweet. I'm...

    Peterson Irish Army Pipes and Gurgle

    I recently purchased two Irish army series pipes to use on alternating days. I thought that they'd be no nonsense non system pipes, but with an army mount and therefore might take a bit of abuse, while saving my better pipes for weekends, etc. However, I'm having terrible trouble with them. Must...

    Falcon Pipes with Meerschaum Bowls

    I'm thinking about buying a meerschaum bowl to compliment my collection for my falcon pipe stems. I'm just wondering has anyone else tried them. It seems like it may be a bit of a gimmick and I have concerns about the durability of such bowls, what with screwing them on and off. However, I don't...

    Pipe Smoking for anxiety

    Hi, I'm from near Dublin, Ireland. I have been a long time smoker of cigarettes, but never really enjoyed them. I have suffered on and off from anxiety, general anxiety and found in the past that pipe smoking relaxed me and brought things into perspective. I have recently decided to stop with...
