    Rusticated Brigham to Fix Excessive Fills.

    Thanks mso! It was kind of a painstaking process, but well worth it. I hadn't smoked out of this pipe since the fills started to come out and after not hearing back from the company I had let it sit for awhile. I am just mystified as to why Brigham wouldn't have just said screw it and put...

    Rusticated Brigham to Fix Excessive Fills.

    Oh heck no! When I overreact you'll read about it in a paper. Pipe Wielding Maniac Holds Local Tobacconist Hostage, Demands Helicopter, Matches and Several Pounds of Mac Baren Flake as Ransom. The wrap-up story after I've been arrested will probably read something like; PWM Arrested After...

    Rusticated Brigham to Fix Excessive Fills.

    Since the entire world seems to love gouging Canadians on every retail item under the sun your $75 pipe costs $120+ up here. Why? Well economists would like you to believe that since we are a sparsely populated country with poor infrastructure it simply costs more to ship goods. This is total...

    ***What Are You Smoking, April 2021?***

    Update! I just smoked some Best Brown, rubbed out in my Billiard whilst reflecting on my very first smokingpipes.com purchase. So I know what I'll be smoking NEXT April! Lol! I went with the four dollar shipping option so.... USPS aged Sutliff Voodoo Queen next year anyone?

    Pipe Types and Bowl Sizes and Lengths

    Well, I'll tell you what I have one pipe with a Dublin chamber (and it's not even on my Dublin shaped pipe!) and it is by and far the superior tool for flake, folded or rubbed. Part of the reason for this is the way the chamber narrows drastically towards the bottom. This forces the smoke to...

    Polishing Smooth Pipes

    Can confirm. Go with a drill mounted buffing wheel at the very least. Oh, and please don't zip tie the trigger down unless you're going to put the drill in a vice to hold it. Because chasing a spinning drill around your shop is no fun.

    Rusticated Brigham to Fix Excessive Fills.

    So this was my third pipe, a Brigham 316. Got it at a bit of a discount because of the stem oxidization. Took it home to find that it was full of fills! Seven fills on the bowl and shank, seems to me this stummel should have never gotten a three dot stem, but what do I know? Well I'll tell...

    Social or Anti-Social Pipe Smoker?

    I guess I'm an anti-social smoker since it appears I'm the only one in my fair city and all the shop owners see me comin'!

    Funny Pipe Smoking Meme

    I used to run a meme subreddit. Unrelated to pipe smoking, but I branch out into other themes...

    Chest Full Of Tins.

    That Peterson army mount looks like it needs work. Tell you what, send it to me and I'll smoke a bunch of flake out of it for a few years and let you know how it worked.

    AWOL, Back Now. Smoking Mac Baren til the Cows Come Home....

    Cheers! I posted and then continued reading the forum when I noticed something out of place... I blame my Brigham pipe.

    Using Two Fingers Instead Of Tamping

    I believe the common vernacular for what you describe is "the shocker". A plain two finger, I think, is when you make a finger gun with your index and middle finger and then make the "come here" motion when you're, ahem, in position. But I wouldn't know because I haven't felt the love of...

    Pipe and Tobacco Myths

    Pipe Myth #258, People who work in pipe and cigar shops always know what they're talking about. Yep, it's a sad fact of modern, life fellow puffers. Most shops these days just sell tobacco and don't really have anyone with decent product knowledge, chances are the clerk will know more about...

    ***What Are You Smoking, April 2021?***

    April saw some mistakes made. I bought Captain Black thinking it was Sail, and I bought an Amphora Cavendish SR not knowing I had already bought a Cavendish. So it was a steamy start! But I snagged a recovery! Best Brown Flake, Pete's Signature Flake, and some ODF. Then I wet the bed...

    The Tobbacolypse: Would it Affect You at All?

    Is this a trick question? I think we have to really scrutinize the post history of anyone who isn't ready to die watering the tree of Flakerty. That's like liberty for flake cut. Don't worry it's just a catchphrase. We should be ready to die for plug, and ribbon too. Hell, even shag cut!

    New to Pipe Smoking from Vancouver, BC

    Hey a fellow Canadian! I used to live in Vancouver about four years ago now. Pretty sure that's where I saw my first real live dead body. Ah memories! Welcome to the last sane place on the internet. ;)

    New from TN.

    Heya Mike. Welcome from Canuckistan, where it's so cold snow shovels you. I don't use moving to Tennessee as a dating metric like I do moving to Texas, but you guys are in an Alabama song or two so Tennessee is alright by me.

    Show Off your Pipe Collection

    Here is mine so far. Oh by the way, that's just how my stuff looks all the time. Totally did not arrange this photo at all. In fact, those underwear covering the heat register were there the whole time. They might even be there tomorrow too... Just kidding! Lemme see, I got, from left to...

    Hello from Addicks, TX

    Cheers from Canada, eh. Texas huh? I use your state as a yardstick for dating. If she wouldn't move to Texas with me for cheap tobacco and plentiful firearms, she probably isn't a keeper.

    AWOL, Back Now. Smoking Mac Baren til the Cows Come Home....

    And look who forgot to capitalize their post titles! Dang. Maybe I do belong in the vortex? Now to find that edit button... Cheers mso! Glad to be back, though truth be told I never really left. Just went into lurk mode. Serious puffers always need information about things. For example...
