A Curiously Made Cumberland Stem
"Why they do that" is that delrin and/or teflon inserts like that are available at specific sizes, manufactured to exactly .250" or whatever size you want (5/16" is real common). Means you never have to cut a tenon, never have to set something "just so". You drill a 5/16" hole carefully, and... -

Offset Bent Pipe Stems.
Just lack of care in manufacture, is all. Heat the stem, bend it, next one. -
Is This Real Cumberland, or Acrylic?
Those are both vulcanite based swirl (cumberland, yes), rather than acrylic. 100% certainty. The acrylic never, ever looks like that, it's always more sort of mottled than streaky, glassy looking. Acrylic "Cumberland": -

VINDALOO recipe
Huh. I love vindaloo, have since the 90s stumbling around in England post-pub and finding only curry places still open. But I know it as a tomato-based evil-hot sauce. Never even heard of byadagi chillis before... now have to hunt some down!- sasquatch

Did it under go the patented Master Craft Pore Processing technique? Cuz that's how you really judge a pipe. -

No more Ilsted copies for you, Berg. Well, maybe one more. -
Need Help Identifying this Pipe
Because forging legitmate high grade pipes is incredibly difficult and time consuming and not profitable. If you stamp up a fake Bo Nordh, a dozen Bo Nordh collectors will point out all the reasons it's fake, and the pipe will sell for 90 bucks even if it took a week to make. No, you make a... -

I mean, I'll play. Aside from ubiquitous drugstore pipes stamped Captain Black or something like that, the actual anchor you are talking about, or again, perilously close, we find on a super high end co-operative, namely Tao-Ilsted. Have a look here. Same frickin anchor really... -
Need Help Identifying this Pipe
It's a real Road Town pipe. So it's Chinese of manufacture, yes. The pipe intentionally bears stamps that are very close to stamps found on other pipes - anchors are pretty common, the Maltese Cross, and a stylized script "R" very similar to an American hand made brand. None of it is... -

Yup, Road Town, the R is SOOO close to the S and R (Steve and Roswitha) mark, it's perilous. -

Tobacco Reviews Dot Com
TR is broken. There's still people adding tobaccos etc I guess, but the search function isn't indexed correctly at all, and lots of things don't show up if searched for directly, but will show up under sub-headings (like if you click "Watch City" you'll see all the blends).- sasquatch

BST Pipe
Yes, the website is almost static, I occasionally have a pipe for sale on there but basically I sell everything as fast as I make it, and if you are waiting for some particular pipe to come along on the site, it'll never happen. But you can use the "contact" form on the site or PM me here or... -

Saying hi from Toronto, Canada,
You're quite likely thinking of the old smokersforum based in the UK, I'm pretty sure it's defunct finally, after a few re-boots and disasters, and at least one of the owners passing.- sasquatch

Position of Draft Hole in New Full-Bent Pipe
The worse part is when they miss the chamber high, the hole is already a tall oval at best, and if they miss the chamber bottom, it's easy to have a pipe where the airway is 1/2" above the bottom of the chamber.- sasquatch
