    New Mark Tinsky Bent Dublin

    The first bowl was on point. The airway is perfect. It is definitely the most expensive pipe that I have purchased and it is the best quality pipe that I've purchased. Guess that goes together. When I say expensive, I usually look to spend around $100 for a pipe, this was about double that, but...

    Here are a few pics of my new Mark Tinsky pipe. My first Tinsky. I just lit up my first bowl or Capstan Blue. Smoking like a champ, even first bowl. I'm very happy.

    Stem Replacement for Savinelli Pipe

    Mark Tinsky already has my Sav 624 repaired. Price was $24 plus shipping. I consider that very reasonable and very fast. He also tempted me with a pipe like I had told him that I was interested in..... soooooo I have my very first Mark Tinsky pipe coming back with my Sav. I've been wanting a...

    Stem Replacement for Savinelli Pipe

    I will definitely let everyone know. He should have received it yesterday. I did tell him that I was not in a hurry, so we will see how long and how much. Looking at Mark's work, I'm sure it will be fixed right and well.

    Stem Replacement for Savinelli Pipe

    I see that I accidentally posted my Savinelli was a 620ks, it is not. It is a 624ks. Not that makes any difference, but wanted to get it right. :-) I just sent Mark Tinsky an email. We will see what he recommends and if he is able to fix it.

    Stem Replacement for Savinelli Pipe

    Sounds good. I appreciate the replies. This is too good a pipe to not have repaired. Not my favorite or a long means from most expensive but it's a great smoker. I will be watching for more forum members to chime in. Mark Tinsky would be a great choice as well as the one that mcitinner1...

    Stem Replacement for Savinelli Pipe

    I just dropped and broke the stem (mouthpiece) of my Savinelli 620ks Bulldog. Where can I get a replacement? I really like this pipe, good smoker. That hurt my heart when it hit the carpeted/hardwood floor and ended up in two pieces. :-(

    Tobacco storage?

    Mason Jars and the Plastic Clip Lock Jars, work well for me. I have never sterilized either. Never even considered needing to do that. I wipe them out with a paper towel and stuff it full. Am I doing wrong by not sterilizing?

    Choice Of Lighter

    I didn't know about the prepaid PayPal, pretty good deal. Although, I see that PayPal is pretty secure. More so than a debit or credit card transaction.

    Choice Of Lighter

    HOMEWATERS, I have always been hesitant to buy something out of China, guess you did it through PayPal? How safe is that? I assume not any issues. I may try one of those through the dealer that you recommended. I'm a huge fan of my Zippo's but just wanting to try something different. But in...

    Zippos only leak when we overfill them.... IMO :puffy:
