Hairline crack inside of bowl: is the pipe ruined?
I have a very small (small bowl and thin walls) billiard. The other day, I noticed that the outside of the bowl wasn't round--there was a slight change in the curvature of the outside.

The Devil's Scent--What Is It?
This must be a newbie question, but I'm at my wit's end so turning to you all for help: There is a (very unpleasant) flavor I frequently encounter in pipe tobaccos that I can't name. The best I can do to describe it is the flavor of the thick dark stuff that comes out on a pipe-cleaner from the...- ryeguy
