    Vauen pipe

    Haha... no. I'm not ready to be banned from here just yet. Gimme a couple years.

    Vauen pipe

    Is the stem cracked from trying to expand the tenon? ;)

    Broke my Vauen

    We use wax lacing tape all the time in my industry. Had some in the other room. It actually worked pretty well.

    Broke my Vauen

    Fixed it with a band of gorilla tape. :LOL: I don't have the skill nor the will to fit a band to it. It'll probably just get chucked.

    Broke my Vauen

    It's a Mocca 5241.... I have looked at everything smoking pipes has and nothing I see is similar. I'm still pondering my choices. I have a 5268 bulldog also and it too had a loose tenon. Beeswax helped that one.

    Broke my Vauen

    The bit has always been loose on this and has been getting worse, so I did the trick of heating the tenon to enlarge it a bit. That shrunk it further, so I proceeded to incrementally insert a drill bit into the tenon 1/64" at a time while hot. That worked fantastically and the bit was finally...

    Anyone Play Video Games?

    I've been playing a lot of Robocop Rogue City on PC lately. I got it for less than $5 on a Steam sale. It's got a good long storyline and it's a single player campaign type game which isn't that common anymore. Everything seems to have gone multi player with paid season passes, server...

    Have you ever thrown out a pipe?

    Yep, tossed an ebay lovat that was a lot smaller than I thought it was. I tend to go through purge cycles where I go 'Why am I holding onto that?" The lovat didn't make it to an unscheduled purge. It got its own personal one.

    Pipe Sighting at the Movies

    Add my father to that list... tail gunner in a B-17G out of England, flew 15 combat missions over Europe then rotated back to the states as an aerial gunner instructor, training new crewmembers for the task. He quit smoking a pipe about the time I was born at the advice of a doctor after some...

    Tolkien Adjacent Video

    I've watched a lot of his content and enjoyed the majority of it.

    The Real Bing Crosby

    Art is a poor investment apparently... that painting was sold at auction in '21 for $169,662 and $290,000 in 1982 would have been worth $976082 in today's dollar. $290K invested into an S&P index fund in 1982 would be worth $46,213,930 today.

    Partial Bowl

    The tobacco at the bottom acts somewhat as as filter for the tobacco burning on top... have you found that the taste changes with removal of that bottom filter? Maybe leave that bottom half bowl for a session or two and refill and replace the top half. Kinda like using a carbon filter for 2 or...

    Did Half & Half Change, Too?

    Sounds like Half and Half has changed several times over the years and the current good "old stuff" was the awful "new stuff" at one time.
