I would mud it up, you would be surprised on the outcome!!

Hah but if you put a metal tube through and affix it there you'll have your own version of a carburetor.
Or we can all just give it a salute and put it in the ground.

Never say never! I hate to lose an old friend that way. Maybe some way to patch it? They put wooden dowels in corn cob bottoms.

That's exactly wherey grandfather burned through his favourite Downhill in the 60's. Repaired with a small screw, and smoked for another decade.

Id give it a special place in your cabinet, with a little wreath of flowers and maybe some pictures of you smoking it in its younger days.

You guys are excellent funny !!
Thanks for all the suggestions. I couldn't stop laughing with the screw to close up the hole?...that never came to mind.. I think I will check the tool box for one!!

Should we set up a new poll?1. Use pipe mud.
2. Put in a small dowel.
3. Put in a screw.
4. Bury it in the back yard.Take a look at my vintage railroad postcard collection at http://www.railroadpostcards.blogspot.com!Posted 5 months ago # -
Another option after sealing is using a small wire screen to keep the tobacco off whatever repair you do on the bottom. Less heat means better strength. What was your final answer?

Now i gotta larn how to reed and rite goodPosted 5 months ago # -
lol, yeah I dare say you got more than your moneys worth out of that pipe.
My vote is for burial in the pipe cemetery. Time for another well-loved pipe.

Awesome, you put speed holes in your pipe

Or you can seal the top, drill three more holes and play it like an ocarina!

I like the screw repair idea, that would make it a good candidate for a shop or yard pipe that you would enjoy smoking.

Run some string through it and hang it from your rear view.
If you can't pack it, light it, and smoke it then why do it. It's a dieing art that must be rekindled in all of us as fortold by our forefathers.

Or you could try gluing a second stem to the bottom of it.
You could smoke it with your girlfriend, like a soda with two straws.

I have salvaged a few bu drilling out the hole to 3/8 and inserting a tapered plug cut from a dead bowl. Works great!
