    Sterilize a Stem

    Will the alcohol or the bleach dull the stems finish?

    Sterilize a Stem

    I've been wanting a poker for a while now and ended up winning a Mario Grandi on eBay. It's listed at used but looks almost new from the pics. Besides a standard cleaning, what do you all recommend for sanitizing/sterilizing the stem before I enjoy a smoke with it?

    Non-Musician Musicians; What Do You Play?

    Played alto sax in school and actually inherited my great grandfathers sax that he played while he was in grade school. Attempted to play the guitar for a bit. Played the harmonica with my grandfather- I'd like to get one again to get back into it. And now I'm messing around with the ukulele.

    Nasal Snuff Tutorial

    Well...you've managed to peak my interest in this stuff...yet again, so I finally ordered a few to try from Mr. Snuff. How bad is the learning curve with this stuff? Do you leave it in, or blow your nose after a while to clear it all out? Can you taste it at all, or is it mostly just smell...

    McClelland Christmas Cheer -- Best Vintages?

    Do you guys find it's better to let this blend age in the tin or jar it for best fermentation? I ordered 4 tins of the 2013 the other day. I plan on popping one right away as it'll be my first CC, and cellaring the other 3 for a good while.

    Looking to Buy a Gandalf-Style Pipe. Facing a Dilemma and in Need of Advice.

    +1 for what smokeybear said, that's my favorite setup to relax with. I also have a Stanwell HCA which might be a good option for you if you can find one- it comes with a standard stem and a churchwarden stem.

    Calling All Harley Davidson Owners

    2010 Sportster XL883N Iron. Love it, but it might have to go towards purchasing a house, like a few of my other toys :(.

    Diamond In The Rough, Briar Tamper Carve

    Nice work- Legos were the only "toys" I wanted when I was young, so I'll have to get one of your tampers eventually to help support his addiction.

    Where are the J.M. Boswell fans?

    Got one freehand on the rack right now. Going to head out there in another month or so and get a few more as birthday presents for myself. The wife loved the store so much the first time we went, she can't wait to go back.

    OBX B&Ms?

    Leaving early Saturday to head down to the Outer Banks, specifically Rodanthe. Taking 3oz of my local B&Ms Pipe Rack Special and a 50gr tin of Frog Morton as we'll as 2 or 3 pipes to rotate. Google didn't really help find any B&Ms (only really listed the head shop Island Dyes), so I was...

    New Zealand Smoker, $60USD/Pouch!!

    I ordered some Capstan Blue from e-tobacco shipped to the States. I believe they ship worldwide and guarantee delivery past customs or they'll resend the order. Shipping is a bear, but it might be worth a try. I've also ordered legit absinthe (banned everywhere here but Las Vegas IIRC) from a...

    That's a B-E-A-utiful rifle. I've been wanting an M1a for a while.

    Kirsten Pipes

    I hate to be the bearer of bad news. But unless everything changed recently, there was a 4-6 month "back order" on pipes when I called them about a month ago. I ended up getting one NIB off the bay and got a few estates from Marty Pulvers.

    Allentown, Reading Area

    I'll definitely be at the pipe guild again, not sure if I'll be able to make the wooden match meeting since it'll be Memorial Day.

    Anyone Ride?

    It just looks clean.....there's probably an inch of dust/dirt on it. Whenever it's nice enough out to wash it, it's just as nice to ride it...guess which one I choose.
