    Brigham Pipes…Caution

    The filters wash out fairly well in a strong solution of Bicarb soda.

    Brigham Pipes…Caution

    Well, being a bit OCD, I'd be inclined to sit back with a glass of wine or Brandy, and think about it. If that happened to me, I'd get a drill bit and very gently enlarge the whatever section that was giving the grief. If you're not that way inclined, I'd go to a pipe maker and get him to make...

    The Chinese sell pipes made of ebony. Is it any good as pipe smoking material?

    Chopper?!

    What's happened to Chopper? Last time he was seen was June 27. He was pretty crook a while back, so I'm a bit worried that I haven't seen him around the traps.

    Czech Tool vs. ... Well, More Handsome Alternatives

    Hell, I wouldn't be without the Czech tool. It's like when you are rebuilding a carburettor or fixing the A/C, and go the kitchen drawer because you need something that is short, thin, and curved and, ah there it is, the wife's favourite tool for decorating cakes. (Much screaming after said...

    Same Peterson Design but One has Deeper Reservoir.

    Yeah, with my 315 I check it out and there doesn't seem to be much 'splunge' in there after a smoke.

    What is the purpose of stoving. Is it done to improve the quality of the leaf?

    They are mighty righteous looking pipes. I've only got one. The XL 315 P-lip. Hate the bit. But it does smoke very well.

    Frank Method of packing

    Yeah, it is a preference thing isn't it. Scott from Aristocob did a YT thing about he did it, and I find it is very effective. I tend to cut leaf into smaller bits, tip it in, tap the bowl on the back of my knuckle, press it in firmly, then two more times. And, I regret to confess, I'm one of...

    Differentiating Vulcanite from Acrylic?

    I was unaware of the fact it had an acrylic bit. And who else was I supposed to complain...Joe Biden?! You are a patronizing idiot. And no smart arse...I was not 'jockying' for a replacement. I know Petersons, and they'd rather chew their right arm off before they did that.

    Differentiating Vulcanite from Acrylic?

    And I loathe the 'cheap' tacky feel of acrylic in my mouth. I emailed Petersons about my 315, about the acrylic bit, but they, as usual, didn't reply.
