Dowel pipes
Any good reason I shouldn't attempt to make a pipe from hardwood dowel? You know, walnut or ash or the like. It just seems like a project waiting to happen. And what sort of adhesive should I use to hold the stem and bowl together? I'd like something natural, but please don't suggest rabbit...- padredeleltoro

I believe the claim was made by Georges Herment. He thought it was a poor trade-off to exchange nose for cooler smoke.- padredeleltoro

Looking to Buy a Gandalf-Style Pipe. Facing a Dilemma and in Need of Advice.
I've had a few churchwardens over the years. My experience has been so-so. The bowls are often made small to look proportional with the stem, but that means (1) not a lot of tobacco per smoke, and (2) the bowls get kinda hot to the touch. On the latter point, that's fine if the stem long...- padredeleltoro

Brog pipe
To be clear, most of my pipes have a bowl aperture just wide enough to admit my thumb, this one has a bore that only just admits my index finger to the second knuckle. Only a little annoying for packing. Otherwise it is an excellent pipe, I'm coming to find. Can't wait for the second pipe to...- padredeleltoro

Brog pipe
Decided to give Mr. Brog a try, I was intrigued by the pearwood and always pleased with Czech pipes, so I ordered a No. 13 Dezerter off Amazon. Gorgeous pipe, but daintier than I would have thought, probably a 20-min. smoke at max. Bowl is deep but very narrow. I report the pearwood does...- padredeleltoro

Tongue Bite
I find stoving helps with tongue bite, as it drives out ammonia. But in general, extremes of tobacco humidity, as well as rate of puffing, are the primary culprits. A properly packed pipe is less likely to bite, as it burns slower, along with tamping. And then pipe architecture is a...- padredeleltoro

Hi all, I'm Ian, I'm a Old Catholic priest living in Indiana. I'm 34, and I've been smoking a pipe regularly since I was 19, though I think I first tried one the summer before. But my first pipe of my own was a Grabow, smoking drug store cherry. I've graduated to slightly better seconds in...- padredeleltoro
