    Best lighter for a pipe

    I like how my zippo performs, zippo fluid is much better than ronson and I keep a djeep or bic (depending what the shop has at the time) as a backup, but the zippo works best.

    Cake doesn't form over night. Smoke your pipe and it will form.

    Which Peterson should I get?

    My first briar that I enjoyed smoking was a Peterson system 31, it was very early into my pipe smoking. The cleaning isn't very difficult, you just need to clean the well with qtips or paper towel. I also have a Peterson Aran 150. Both are new within the last 18 months and both smoke amazing. I...

    Invicta Briars eBay Win

    It arrived today! I must say that it is very light, especially taking the wall thickness into consideration. I would dare to say featherlight. Unsmoked uncoated bowl, am currently smoking my first half bowl of nightcap in it. I would say its a pocket sized pipe as it fits completely in my shirt...

    Can Anyone Show Me How To Take Apart A Kirsten?

    Will Retry This Inquiry

    The modern system 31 has the hole in the center of the bottom, but the best thing to explain this that I could find was this picture. Hope it helps. I find qtips till they come out clean then a doubled over pipe cleaner work best to clean it. Also just simply take out the stem and dump any...

    @boudreaux please refer to my post above, you can't pass a pipe cleaner in the traditional sense in the system 31.
