    Muletown Pipe Show 18 March 2022

    Hallelujah bourbon! Nashville seems to have become an overpriced, cash extraction machine. Even business owners I talk with are weary of the conspicuous consumption there. If I had a sugarlady . . . perhaps. Franklin —I dig historic. Columbia sounds promising. I’m more of an Elijah Craig...

    Questions You Hate

    If you run a search across all the forums here on the keyword “health” you find . . . essentially nothing. If there are any super-taster physiologists out there, or any athletes, I’ve got a question for you. And if you, dear reader, are neither of these, you are welcome to shell your peanuts in...

    Is it Safe to Leave Oxidation on Vulcanite?

    Yes! I acquired all the styles of Neerup brushes and am happy to have ‘em to put to work. Unfortunately, even the most slender of the brushes won’t enter this particular amber acrylic stem from the Fifties. Good I’ve got plenty other pipes to celebrate the day with. Okay, I’ll put the Method...

    Is it Safe to Leave Oxidation on Vulcanite?

    Surprised no one mentioned the article about vulcanite stem maintenance on SmokingPipes. The article is, of course like most articles on SmokingPipes, an advertisement for something they sell. smokingpipes.com | Pipe Tobacco -...

    Filter Pipes?

    As I posted in the other Filter thread, I stumbled upon the joy of filtered pipe smoking by accident. It may be necessary to describe WHY I pipe smoke at all, especially since I just spent a day shoveling clay onto the corpse of a woman who chain-smoked Benson & Hedges for most of her life and...

    Filters

    I actually found the joy of the filter by accident. I’ve been experimenting with methods of tobacco pack, fire control, draw velocity (not as fancy as it sounds), and tamp in an attempt to 1) have a delicious smoke and 2) enjoy a smoke with zero detritus coming down the stem into my mouth...

    Anyone Use Black Silicone Tips for Stems?

    I use the BJLong Soft Rubber Pipe Bits ($1.29 for two) sold by Missouri Meerschaum and I really dig how they protect the acrylic or vulcanite stems from teeth. I don’t clench, mostly smoke out of hand, but when I need two hands and can’t put a pipe down it is nice to be able to bite into that...
