    Having Rattray’s 3 Noggins in a noggin of sorts—an Oguz Simsek Nazca Skull Figural.

    Automatic Pipe Loader

    That’s much cooler than what I have (and maybe the perfect companion):

    Las Vegas Intl Pipe Show 2025!

    That would be a job for @JimKinks

    🎄🌟 The Unofficial Official PM Secret Santa 2024 Thread 🌟 🎄

    That’s a box o’ death for me (very allergic to cats).

    Old meer stem alignment?

    I have used the teflon plumbing tape wrapped around the bone tenon with success. Paper spacers are a non-destructive option often used.

    Proof at Last --- Santa Smokes an ENGLISH-shape Pipe

    You’re all wrong. That’s @warren

    Seconds. What exactly are they?

    I’m not sure the Montecristo aspect of your reasoning applies here; it’s my understanding that the Montecristo pipes were commissioned by the Montecristo cigar company—these were probably done when Rossi was still owned by Rossi. These weren’t really a second of Rossi; they were made by Rossi...

    I have both and use them on occasion.

    ***What Are You Smoking, December 2024?***

    Thank you! I feel lucky to be the caretaker for this pipe (that’s probably true of any of my pipes, though).

    Some Questions About Using G/flex Epoxy

    I wonder if you are introducing bubbles as you are mixing the two parts of epoxy and those tiny pits are little bubbles that you’ve sanded open. I don’t know if placing the mixture on a vibrating surface (i.e., something like a motor or compressor) as you combine the different parts will make...

    ***What Are You Smoking, December 2024?***

    I would say probably none whatsoever from the porcelain. If any, it would be from the internals that were gunked up for 100 years; I have a Royal Copenhagen porcelain pipe designed by Jørn Micke that might be the most neutral pipe I have. I believe @OzPiper who also has a Royal Copenhagen might...

    🎄🌟 The Unofficial Official PM Secret Santa 2024 Thread 🌟 🎄

    Waiting for delivery of several elements going into the Secret Santa package to arrive; just a waiting game now.

    ***What Are You Smoking, December 2024?***

    Having Cornell & Diehl Engine #382 in a Bavarian Hunter with deer art on the two porcelain portions, horn shank connector and genuine deer antler shank, and horn stem with an orific bit.

    Anyone Tried 3D Immersive Sound (Dolby Atmos etc) at Home?

    Strictly 2 channel, here, but there are benefits to using a subwoofer—certainly ones if used with full range speakers; the crossover and filter can allow the tweeter, midrange, and woofer to really shine at what they do because they’re not also dealing with the much lower frequencies. You might...

    ***What Are You Smoking, December 2024?***

    Having G.L. Pease Haddo’s Delight in a Michael Parks SB Rhodesian 499, Pipe #1316, Grade IV (from early 2018), with a black, red, and grey swirl ebonite stem.

    Having Cornell & Diehl Small Batch Palmetto Balkan (1879/3000) in a Max Capps Swan Neck Rhodesian/Dublin while I tweak part of my Secret Santa gift.

    Peterson's London Factory

    I just took some pics of a Peterson 0 to show you the “MADE IN ENGLAND” stamp.
