    Correcting a High Draft Hole in Meerschaum

    I recently acquired a new meerschaum pipe that I really like, unfortunately the draft hole is drilled about 3-4mm high in the bowl. Is pipe mortar an appropriate medium to sue to correct this, or should I just live with it?

    What is Appealing about Pipe Smoking?

    What is Appealing about Pipe Smoking?

    For me it is definitely the flavor and aroma combined with the relaxation and ritual of loading and smoking a pipe.
