    B&M’s in Richmond VA to Visit?

    My son likes RVA tobacco lounge in Scots addition, Griffin cigar, and Ree’s cigar room. Not sure what part of town these are in. Also, he’s a cigar guy and is not sure about their commitment to the pipe. But worth checking out. Good luck! Tom

    Stem oxidation

    Gentlemen, these were all really helpful suggestions. I had mineral oil, and that was perfect for my needs now. Will learn more about the other methods as well. I realized that I’ve been overlooking routine pipe cleaning as part of my learning. I’m an infrequent smoker, and have a few pipes in...

    Stem oxidation

    Hi. I have a pipe barely two years old and the stem is already oxidizing. Can this be cleaned up or brought back? Also, does one type of stem (vulcanite or lucite) do better in avoiding the process? Thanks! Tom
