Separated Tenon
I've used that particular glue from Starbond and it has worked fairly well. It takes quite a while to dry (I leave it for a full day) and usually needs more than one round of application.

Show Off Your Meerschaum Pipes Here!
I'm a neophyte re. meerschaums. I got this pipe as part of a lot, and I'm curious about several things: 1. Is the stem likely also meerschaum? 2. Is the tenon bone? 3. What might the ballpark date be (e.g. first half of 20th century, etc)? I'll appreciate any help you all can give.- Kirklands

Screw in bulldog stem problem
I think the suggestion is to use a paper hole reinforcer. Slip it over the tenon and it will cause the stem to tighten sooner. Search for "paper hole reinforcers" if you're not familiar with these little jobbies.- Kirklands

Your Favorite Pipes?
My go-to pipe is this early Custom-Bilt. The stem has been shorted (and is perhaps a replacement) and there's a hole near the bit that I need to repair, but I sure enjoy it.- Kirklands

Shipping Costs for Pipes
I'm an occasional pipe seller (I suppose I've sold around 70 pipes), and my cost for USPS first class package (now I think they call it "lightweight trackable") is around $4.50. When I list pipes, I always offer free shipping and price the pipe accordingly.- Kirklands

Pipe Smoking Social Meaning…If There Is One
I, too, mostly smoke at home or at the home's of friends. Looking around in public I see occasional cigarette smokers, but almost never a pipe or cigar smoker. I assume, without much evidence, that tobacco use is really looked down on by most people for presumed health reasons.- Kirklands
