    Hello from Dubai

    Welcome to our forum. I have been to Dubai 2 times, the last one being last year. I just hope that you are not planning to smoke a pipe outside in August ;)

    Whole Leaf Tobacco Lost its Flavor

    Probably this. You jarred them and they started sweating, so the fermentation process caused the release of ammonia. @cosmicfolklore may have an answer I think. And I agree with others, always use distilled water.

    ***What Are You Smoking, December 2020?***

    Enjoying a nice bowl of Five Brothers in a bent MM Mark Twain while watching the movie Knives Out (2019). It is a great mystery film.

    Purge Your Cigar

    Brian should learn not torching cigar for straight 22 seconds from close distance before teaching about purging.

    ***What Are You Smoking, December 2020?***

    Just lighted a fresh bowl of Scotty's VR Blend by P&C in a slightly bent Stanwell Dublin. It is a pity that they discontinued this blend.

    Proof That Warm Water Doesn't Cause Oxidation on Vulcanite Stems

    No, no, no apology necessary. As I have mentioned in my previous post, even we don't know where we are, haha. I totally understood your point in your previous post, using the word "better" was kind of a generalization I guess, I thought twice before writing it actually. In developed countries...

    Proof That Warm Water Doesn't Cause Oxidation on Vulcanite Stems

    While thinking about this issue, an idea came to my mind; @georged must have an answer. Here is what I found: When it comes to discolored rubber stems, the most fundamental chemistry possible, easily referenced by anyone---known as "oxidation" or "rust" to the general public, and "redox" to the...

    Proof That Warm Water Doesn't Cause Oxidation on Vulcanite Stems

    Not trying to be that guy, but the country I live is both in Europe and Asia, however we are neither European nor Asian, funny right? And I doubt that the water we have here is in any way better than yours. Now I wonder, if I warm some distilled water and use it on a vulcanite stem, what will be...

    Said ALTINAY.

    @Said.ALTINAY, it is always good to see people from the industry on our forums. Visiting Eskisehir has always been in my wishlist as I live in a country that's very close to Turkey, however I have never had any chance. You and your father are doing great job by keeping this industry alive, and...

    Proof That Warm Water Doesn't Cause Oxidation on Vulcanite Stems

    As you may know, we have a hot debate about water flushing method suggested by @jpmcwjr. Some suggested that running hot/warm water through vulcanite stems will cause oxidation. Even I faced the same problem after water flushing my pipes and their vulcanite stems. Later, @jpmcwjr suggested that...
