Pipe Refurbisher?
i just went to the Walker Briar Work site and they've closed up shop! Never used them myself but the have a nice little farewell message posted and I hope retirement agrees with them. I know I liked it when I did it. But it didn't last long. The trouble for me was there was no money in it.- jruthledge

Old Dominion Corn Cob Pipe
I know this is an old thread, but I found it while considering a buy, and I figure other people will too. So I thought I'd share that I just got a Laughing King and it doesn't seem small to me at all. For comparison, here are a couple of pics next to my Peterson 314. The bowl is almost...- jruthledge

Anyone Ever Smoke a Cigar in a Pipe?
Seems like a good time to revive this old thread. I've done this myself, but only with the end, not the whole cigar. I like to blow out through a cigar toward the end, let it go out, put it in a pipe with a conical bowl so it fits in snug when I press it in, cut the extra off with a razor...- jruthledge

Pipe Rest for Car?
I wanted to find a solution with what I already had around: The end of an egg carton, painted with high-temp flat black spray paint and mounted with poster putty. Works great even on gravely switchbacks. $0.- jruthledge

Read Them All Or Mostly Anyway
I wouldn't risk it. If you introduce the bees to pipe smoke there is a strong danger that they will become enamored with pipe tobacco and pipes. They may stop making honey and spend all of their spare time collecting pipes, trying various blends of tobacco and reading pipe smoking forums when...- jruthledge

Dating a Peterson System Meerschaum
I'm not actually sure, but I'm guessing it's African. Smokes great. My first bowl with it last night and I smoked the same blend I'd had the night before in one of my briars. There was more nuance to the flavor. Things that I could smell in the tobacco in the jar but couldn't taste when I...- jruthledge

Dating a Peterson System Meerschaum
When did they make these? I'm sure the info is out there somewhere, but I couldn't find anything in a search of the forums, and there is so much into out there about Peterson's in general that I could read for hours and never find anything relevant. I'm sure one of you know the answer to this...- jruthledge

My stem type? And how to fix this loose stem?
Just a guess, but it looks to me like it might be made to take a filter. So you might add "filter" to searches and see if you find anything useful. It's a good looking pipe. Glad you were able to get it back in action.- jruthledge
