    Stuck stem

    I’m assuming beeswax is the only solution for acrylic stems then?

    Stuck stem

    I think I’ll keep trying the beeswax if I have anymore problems. 👍🏼

    Stuck stem

    Just put some beeswax on it, and it seemed to do the trick. I’ve only used beeswax to tighten up a loose stem before.

    Stuck stem

    Nope, just pipe cleaners. It’s a new pipe, and it was already a tight fit. It was right after smoking it, so the temp probably made the wood expand a bit more.

    Stuck stem

    I got it unstuck, but I have little faith it won’t get stuck again

    Stuck stem

    Hey I was wondering if anyone knew a quick fix to a stuck stem. I took apart one of my Petersons to clean, and the stem fits so tight in the mortise that it became stuck half-way in.

    SPC Hogshead in a Peterson Kildare Silver Mounted P-Lip. I enjoy my burleys, but this is a fantastic Virginia blend.

    Old or Mold?

    That’s a case study on cigars not pipe tobacco.

    Looking for Suggestions: tobaccos with anise or tonquin bean

    As @SBC said, War Horse Red Bar. I think the green bar has even more of a topping and less strong tobacco. It’s delicious.

    Pipe Lighter - Leads and Recommendations

    Bic and zippo depending on the wind situation. I have a Kiribi, yet I never reach for it sadly. I get the same results with a bic and I don’t have to bother replacing flints or refilling butane.

    Where Do You Usually Smoke?

    Living in Hawai’i it’s comfortable all year round to smoke outside. So that is what I do.
