Unfortunately you chose the wrong year to be born my friend...
Ah! Fitting that your response also happened to be the start of page 77.
Interest maybe but availability is likely going to be an issue.

I'm older than both of you. You '88?Dottlejockey is 13 years older than me
Yes. If only I liked the Sherlock Holmes series I could have such a cool birth year pipe collection, first edition even
I am doing my part, trying to put more pipes back into circulation than I take out
I was just referring to tobacco availability. Were it to come right down to it, I can make pipes and grow tobacco but it's a lengthy process for both and things that not every smoker would enjoy.I am doing my part, trying to put more pipes back into circulation than I take out
I just used a drill press and a combination disc/belt sander. I sat and watched Bruce Weaver make a few and tried my hand at it.I would love to be able to do that...
Embers, Have you ever used a coloring bowl ? I am asking because I recently saw a Peterson 309 go for sale on ebay and the original owner smoked it with a cork bottomed coloring bowl instead of using the chamber and I was wondering if all coloring bowls are the same or do they come in sizes and where would one buy one if they wanted to do or try that ? If you know ... ??? Thank you in advance for any advice !
Never tried one but there are some briar coloring bowls from a Chinese distributor if you'd like to give one a try without spending a fortune.
OK, thanks, I saw those but I don't see the point as it defeats smoking meerschaum as opposed to a meerschaum bowl on top of briar. It was just a thought. I will probably just repair my meerschaum stem and smoke that.
Very cool, and I think you are very right!
