    🎄The Official Unofficial PipesMagazine Secret Santa 2023 🎅

    My secret Santa gift has arrived! There's no way I'm opening up before Christmas! It's the one gift I've been looking forward to all year! I just hope it's full of Captain black grape, pipe mud, and a birth year corn cob!

    🎄The Official Unofficial PipesMagazine Secret Santa 2023 🎅

    Got my match! Going to be a little bit before I get it shipped, emptying my grandmas old Virginia slims I found after she passed in my vintage Captain black grape tin is going to take time, but don't worry... the grape flavored cough syrup will get added for a truly authentic top note!

    Late to the party was looking for this on the wrong thread I guess LOL! But I'm in! Now I got 22 threads of debauchery that I got to read through!

    Separated Tenon

    Thank you very much! To tell you the truth I bid on this on a whim not thinking I would win it and ended up getting it for a steal, wasn't really too keen on the brass accents, but after cleaning it up it's really growing on me and I love the grain!

    Separated Tenon

    Quick question, I am apprehensive about using a lighter so is a hair dryer hot enough to pull teeth chatter out of vulcanite or is a heat gun a better option?

    Separated Tenon

    Funny you said that about the Super glue! I actually was just looking at this. Premium Grade Cyanoacrylate (CA) Super Glue by STARBOND - 2 OZ PRO Pack (56-Gram) - Black Medium Crack Filler 150 CPS Viscosity Adhesive for Woodworking, Woodturning, Carpentry https://a.co/d/ah0XJzR In one of the...

    Thanks for the replies I will give it a go! If I decide to fix the nick on the button with epoxy, what type of coloring agent do I use to make it black?

    Separated Tenon

    Yes it does. Any particular kind of glue that would be best?

    Separated Tenon

    Picked up a GBD Ellipse Billiard for a steal off ebay, first real restoration job I've undertaken. The pipe as a whole was in pretty good condition, so I went to work on the stummel first, the only real issue I found with the wood is after a thorough reaming and cleaning with Murphy's Oil Soap...

    Bengal Slices

    "Fusilier's Ration was created by Russ Ouellette as a tribute to one of his all-time favorite blends - Bengal Slices. Connoisseurs from all over have tried this "homage" blend, and have raved about the bright, smoky flavor, and the incense-like aroma. It burns cool, has lots of flavor and has a...

    Opinion on Peterson System Pipe

    It's possibly the Bowl coating that cracked, but it looks deeper than that to me. We will see what smoking pipe says. Still waiting on a reply from them, after Christmas I guess there's a lot of returns waiting to be looked at! Will keep you all up to date.

    Opinion on Peterson System Pipe

    I finally did a b-42 system Deluxe sandblast right before Christmas, I loved everything about that pipe, and the first six bowls smoked wonderfully! Unfortunately when I was cleaning it I noticed a crack in the Bowl! II contacted smoking pipes to see about a refund or replacement. I love my...

    How to Date Esoterica Tobaccos?

    Okay I guess I get it, still a little confusing lol! Yeah I probably won't open Margate for a little while and I have no Baseline, so if I like it I guess that's all that matters anyway! They did have a bag of Stonehaven, and I'm not a big Burly fan, but I was willing to give it a try based on...

    How to Date Esoterica Tobaccos?

    Well just picked up a bag of Margate from my local B&M. The number on the bag is as follows - 1338H021. So according to this thread the manufacturing date should be February 1st 2023, if I'm reading everything right. But I picked the bag up on January 20th 2023, and I know the shop got their...
