    Pipe Cleaner Not Passing Through Shank

    Yes, I think I will ask the retailer to fix it, if possible. Otherwise I will send it back. It's a pity because it's my first meerschaum pipe....

    Pipe Cleaner Not Passing Through Shank

    Sorry for the late reply. Here's a photo of the pipe. No matter what I do, I can't pass a pipe cleaner through to the chamber.

    Pipe Cleaner Not Passing Through Shank

    The problem is, I can't clean about half of the shank using a pipe cleaner. It seems to me to be a manufacutring flaw and I'm not sure how I can fix it without damaging my pipe.

    Pipe Cleaner Not Passing Through Shank

    Thanks for the suggestion. I just checked after reading your message; I can blow through it.

    Pipe Cleaner Not Passing Through Shank

    Hi everyone, There seems to be a problem with my new Andreas Bauer meerschaum pipe. I have removed the stem in order to pass a pipe cleaner through the shank into the bowl but it keeps on getting stuck midway in the shank and doesn't reach the bowl. I am assuming this is not normal for...

    Zippo Butane Pipe Lighter Insert

    That's been my experience with it as well. I bought it a few days ago because I thought it would be great to have two different kinds of Zippo pipe lighters but this one turned out to be pretty much useless for me. Also, maybe it's just a problem with my particular lighter but it often doesn't...

    Zippo Butane Pipe Lighter Insert

    Is there a lower risk of the flame's coming into close proximity with the rim of the bowl as compared to a Sidekick pipe lighter, for example?

    MM Corncobs - Chewing Gum as Pipe Mud

    That gives me a lot of hope! :) I was particularly concerned about a couple of my limited edition cobs - especially the honeypot model, which is no longer available.

    MM Corncobs - Chewing Gum as Pipe Mud

    Yes, I gave up on the idea - not because it was gross but because of some of the ingredients of chewing gum. :) That's easy. :) I tried smoking cigars but found that I tended to make the leaf very moist (because I smoked them wet for some reason) and that just tasted bad. I guess it was a case...

    MM Corncobs - Chewing Gum as Pipe Mud

    Thanks for your replies, guys! :) Sorry for the late response. Actually, I did some research and, like Scott wrote above, it seems that chewing gum is partly composed of hydrocarbons - something I definitely do not want in my pipe bowls :) Besides, as almost all of you said, there really is no...

    MM Corncobs - Chewing Gum as Pipe Mud

    I think flammability might be the only cause for concern. I'll also have to check if chewing gum can release hazardous fumes when it's exposed to heat.

    MM Corncobs - Chewing Gum as Pipe Mud

    Thanks! That would be really nice of you :P I think it would go out really quickly if I don't smoke it.

    MM Corncobs - Chewing Gum as Pipe Mud

    Hi folks, I've just bought a MM Night Rider Country Gentleman that's got a perfect black stain on the bowl and I'd like to extend its longevity as much as I can. I have read and heard that cigar ash mixed with water works very well as pipe mud. The thing is, I don't smoke cigars so I thought of...

    New Cobs with Acrylic Stems

    The William is also really nice. It's got a black stain (though a bit unevenly applied) and a long acrylic stem. https://corncobpipe.com/product/the-william-corn-cob-pipe/

    Position of Draft Hole in New Full-Bent Pipe

    Thanks, everyone, and thanks for the great explanation, Sasquatch! :) I will just use the pipe without a filter or filter-adapter, and remove the stem after smoking it so I can clean it properly. :)
