Meer Replacement Stem
Hello all, Today a lot of old estate pipes I won on ebay came in. I was surprised when at the bottom of the pile of pipes was a meerschaum. It seems to be in good condition as well....except that the stem that it has is obviously not the original stem. Even worse, the stem that is currently...- bbauer

I live in an appt. complex that doesnt allow smoking inside, and have had to smoke outside. Normally this is not a problem at all, actually I...- bbauer

Advice on my new pipe (and potentially PAD)
Hey guys. So I only started smoking a pipe a little over a year ago when I bought my first one. That one pipe was my only pipe for quite awhile, until about 3 months ago when I started buying some antique pipes and fixing them up (ok so I may have gotten about 20 in a month....PAD?!....I dont... -

The worst feeling in the world
ok well maybe i exaggerated a bit in my topic title..... But i just have to say, waiting for new pipes and tobaccos to come in the mail is so hard!

fixing a misfitting stem
So I bought an estate pipe at an antique store recently for a pretty good price. I cleaned it up and make it all nice and everything is perfect....almost.

Dumb Newb Question.....
So i recently bought a tin of frog morton as well as a few others that I haven't yet smoked. Normally I only smoke a few bowls a week, so not fast enough to really go through tobacco fast.

Any LA pipe clubs?!
I live in Azusa and was wondering if anyone in the area is part of, or knows about, any pipe clubs. I go to a lounge with some friends from time to time, but we are the only ones ever smoking pipes. Everyone else just sticks to their cigars. I would love to find some other pipe smokers...- bbauer
