Black Frigate Horn (Pic Heavy)
I have drilled mine myself, on the lathe. I see people use drill presses. It was the easiest part of the job, really, if you have tools. Oh, and I just made myself a bowl drill from 20mm flat wood drill, 5min on bench grinder.- yaroslaw

Buying My First Pipe
As Ukraine is pretty close to Romania (hello, neighbor!) I'd suggest looking at Трубочный Магазин У Георга - https://trubki.net/ - an old small Ukrainian shop that ships worldwide (but check your customs rules on tobacco first). Highly recommended shop. Ukrainian pipes are also pretty cheap, and...- yaroslaw

Tin Popping - Three Day Rule
Hey, thanks for that post, never heard of that. Tried Amphora Original from a friend, it was bone dry, and I liked it. My friend suggested rehumidifying it, but I packed as is. So I bought a pack yesterday, opened it - and I see it definitely needs open time. Especially when I packed small...- yaroslaw

Balkan Supreme
That's good to know, ordered PS Balkan Supreme locally (waiting for a mail now) and wondered is it the same as recommended in other thread Arango.

Anyone Play Video Games?
I have never been a gaming guy. I always thought of time wasted on games so I stopped playing them. But there were few games that spoke to my heart so I finished them. First was Duke Nukem that came with my first PC back in '98:) Then Dune and UFO. Oh, and few advantures of Leisure Suit Larry...- yaroslaw

Care and Breaking In for Morta Pipe?
It's making a bit harder to ask questions, but I do get it. Let's try this way... I cut off just a piece off picture, so it's definitely not a show off:) Pipe, buffed with carnauba and then steel wool to remove shine This is part of tamper, treated with a coat of oil. Tamper made from cut-off...- yaroslaw

Care and Breaking In for Morta Pipe?
I have no access to fancy chemistry here. I do have some pure carnauba and microcrystalline blend wax, but no fancy shmancy hallucion:) As for walnut oil it's called "curing" in woodworkers world, I believe:) And it's one of the best food safe oil finishes, it protects wood without forming ugly...- yaroslaw
