Savinelli Series III: Rustication and Dye
That is awesome and your pipe came out great! Once you make that first gouge and realize there is no turning back, it just flows. Let's see a shot of your rustication tool? What did you use for dye? -

Savinelli Series III: Rustication and Dye
It gouges pretty easily as is. You do have to work the sections, but that is a good thing - you don't want to remove too much material. After I used the rustication tool, I brushed it with a wire brush, then hit it lightly with some sandpaper to knock down the peaks a bit. -
Savinelli Series III: Rustication and Dye
I didn't really consider wax/polish, but now you got me thinking about it... I did not wet the briar - bone dry rustication. I went into this a bit blind other than a few YouTube vids. Do people typically wet the briar first? -

Narrow Draft on New Pipe. Advice?
Is it a filter pipe? If so, make sure the filter is not pushed in too deep and blocking the airway. On the last 320 I bought, the opening at the very end of the stem at the bit was very small to where it was tough to get a pipe cleaner in. I used a small drill bit and, by hand, routed the... -
Savinelli Series III: Rustication and Dye
I have a couple Savinelli Series III pipes. They are all great inexpensive smokers and fun to customize. The Panel Billiard was my very first pipe. I sanded it smooth with some 600 grit and smoked it. The color is natural darkening. The 707 I sanded smooth and Dyed with Eco-Flo Red leather... -
Your First Year Smoking
I'm in month 8 of Pipe smoking. Reading through this, I find it interesting how consistent the experience is among us. - I initially just bought a pipe and a couple wet blends from a local tobacconist on a whim - never thinking I would dive into this hobby. - Smoke more frequently than I...- Keitha

Old German Clay Pipe...
I just received my first Clay pipe - a Markus Fohr Old German Clay. I had an order in on Smoking Pipes and forgot I even included this - great surprise when I opened the box. I had to try it out right away. Before I even packed it, I noticed my lips stuck to the dry clay. My solution was to... -

Things happen, it's how a company responds that makes a difference. Eryn (SP's customer service) was great. She was very responsive to emails and proactive in helping out. This was my first order from you all and Eryn ensured I will be a repeat customer. I'll send you a PM Shane, but no need...- Keitha

Update: Smoking Pipes opened a UPS inquiry to find the shipment. 8 days later, they said it was officially lost. To compound the bad news, All items except Pirate Kake were now out of stock. I'm not mad at SP, just frustrated. SP was good to work with and willing to send me a refund or...- Keitha

That's my fear - and inexcusable if true. If it has been shipped and in the hands of UPS or USPS, then I can't blame the retailer, but if it is going on 30 days and they just failed to deliver it to the postal service, then that is a total breakdown of process. I'm not condemning them yet...- Keitha

UPS has not received the package yet? Does that...- Keitha

Yah, All we can do is be understanding. It's just Tobacco after all and I have a cupboard full of it. The bright side is that it will be cellared and aged more once I do get it.... If it doesn't show up by February, I will start to wonder- Keitha
