    Elmer's glue will make it whole again Rick.

    ***What Are You Smoking, December 2025?***

    Mixed TPT Flake 50 with Elizabethan Mixture. TPT Flake 50 is a Virginia and Turkish blend with a very light fig and molasses topping. Subtly sweet and overall great smoke. Paired with linden tea steeped with quince.

    Applied the glue, waiting for it to cure. Fingers crossed. Thank God I don't have a Bo Nordh :)

    Thank you all. Hope I didn't damage the cob when ramming the shank in. Will definitely use Elmer's glue.

    Major Mess-up

    Hello friends, When trying to remove the stem of my MM Country Gentleman, I accidentally removed the shank also. I rammed it in with force and gave firm taps on the table (felt like a caveman learning how to use a gavel —not the shrewdest judge out there). It seems like it fits like as before...

    Am i smoking too hot, if smoke comes out of the chamber?

    I try to smoke outdoors, and come winter tide, usually the wind smokes half of my pipe. Hope it likes VaPers.

    Ends of the Bowls Getting Acrid

    Definitely something floral, and definitely not Virginia :)

    Anyone Tried Smoke-King UK?

    That's great to hear. Maybe I'll drop by when in Leeds. Thank you.

    Anyone Tried Smoke-King UK?

    The title, basically. I was wondering whether anyone tried the internet seller Smoke-King UK. It looks like they have the best selection available. Thanks,

    ***What Are You Smoking, November 2025?***

    Carver of the CAO Meerschaum pipes, İsmet Bekler passed away in 2018. He had taught a lot of meerschaum pipe makers. CAO's owner Cano Aret Özgener also passed away not long after in 2018. He was a prominent figure in popularization of Turkish meerschaum in the US.

    ***What Are You Smoking, November 2025?***

    Turkish Pipe Tobacco Red 50 (cherry and dark chocolate aromatic, Virginia and Turkish base) in an MM The Boone straight stem. The tobacco needs a lot of drying time, but it tastes delicious.

    Where to Get Cult BRM in London

    I don't think so. All tobacconists sell only tins, and when selling in bulk, they sell what they have in tins.

    Burley Blend (No-name yet)

    That's the place bearded wizards dwell. Be cautious.
