HELP!
Pardon my ignorance but due to my lack of knowledge in this area, IF I were to remove the stinger, then how do I go about connecting the stem to the bowl for use? There's nothing to thread into the bowl shank to hold everything together. I'd hate to have to lose this pipe... It is like new and...- SnowmanKPT

HELP!
My new (to me) Wally Frank pipe is broke! :eek: I've had it less than a week... I began noticing yesterday - upon assembly - that the stem was over rotating slightly past top dead center. This morning, I was attempting to try and improvise some sort of shim to square it back up, and the stinger...- SnowmanKPT

Anyone Else Smoke Wally Frank Pipes?
Hey All! Check out my new (to me) Wally Frank Algerian DeLuxe. Found it on Ebay for less than a Grant. It's almost new, been hardly smoked. It's been outstanding and the best smoker I've got so far.

Does Anyone Have any Info?
Hey gang, I just remembered that I had this corncob pipe sitting around. (I had purchased it in a thrift shop as part of a Hillbilly Halloween costume.) Anyway, now that I'm starting in this hobby, I decided to clean it up and smoke it. However, I can't really find any info on it. Can any of...- SnowmanKPT

Noob Questions
I've just recently started smoking with my Grandpa's pipes, and have come up with a few questions. 1) Does anyone have an issue with excessive salivating while clenching/smoking your pipes? (Note: I do have a partial upper denture, so idk if that makes a difference.) 2) I've read the...- SnowmanKPT

Fired up Grandpa's Pipe For the First Time...
I wish I could pin down more specifics on it. It appears to be an American made 'second or two star'(?), but I can't seem to find any more info. The only other marker on it is the number 57.- SnowmanKPT

Fired up Grandpa's Pipe For the First Time...
Fortunately, this time, I managed to take my time and not overheat the bowl. (Along with having multiple relights. LOL) I have been reading where others say to "sip" on the stem, like a straw, and it seemed to help.- SnowmanKPT

Fired up Grandpa's Pipe For the First Time...
Fortunately I DID know him. He passed about 5 yrs ago. He hadn't smoked in about 3+ decades and had these packed away. I'll always think of him anytime I smell Captain Black.- SnowmanKPT

Fired up Grandpa's Pipe For the First Time...
Hi all! I cleaned up my Grandpa's pipes and fired up the BBB 57 for the first time with about 1/3rd of a bowl of Brigadier Black Alamo blend. (It seemed pretty tasty.) However, I definitely need to work on my packing, I had to relight quite a few times. Regardless, it felt good to sit out in the...- SnowmanKPT

New Guy Trying To ID This Pipe
Hello All, I'm a new member just starting into this arena. For a few years now, I've had a box of pipes and accessories that belonged to my Grandpa. I always get sentimental and have fond memories every time I smell Captain Black. I pulled this pipe out the box and was immediately drawn to it...- SnowmanKPT
