    Question/Help: Sour taste - Cleaning Estate Pipe Stem - Oxyclean x Bleach

    Hi guys. I need to deep clean the stem (vulcanite) of a couple of estate pipes that taste sour… Question - we do not have the product OxyClean here in Brazil, whcih appears to be the reccomendation; could I use bleach instead? Heard also about letting it rest in white vinegar? IsoPropyl alcohol?

    Mac Baren Virginia no. 1 in a Polo estate pipe. Dog seems to be asking for some as well.

    Tobacco Cellar app question

    Will do. It will be a plus to remove some of the dust on my excel knowledge anyway. And the tip about location is good also. For a beginner (less than a year in the hobby) I have already accumulated a good number of tins and jars, it is becoming harder and harder to locate one specific tobacco.

    Beatiful Musicò! By the way, I remember that snow - lived in Winnipeg from 1995 till 2000. Wish I smoked pipes then!

    Tobacco Cellar app question

    Great method. I might use this as a template for mine. I just have to get more up to date on the pivot tables/macros as I normally do more basic stuff in excel. Thanks!

    Tobacco Cellar app question

    I am starting to think that building my own excel spreadsheet is the way to go, your post is very helpful and corroborates that impression. I just have to find the time and motivation to do it rsrsrs.

    How to Prepare Rope and Twist Pipe Tobacco

    Nice video. I have a few ropes here with me, use a sharp knife, but do not smoke them very frequently. By the way, ropes used to be very popular here in Brazil, mostly in rural areas. You can still find in the big popular street markets in cities like São Paulo big rolls of tobacco, that older...

    Dumb Question Regarding Members…

    Lol. I will be glad just by leaving the “Lurker” category. You won’t board your flight before anyone else - but you can look newbies with a superior smile. of course - they won’t see it - or care 😝.

    Rotation of Pipes

    I made good note of your wise use of resources regarding the pipe collection. But I will certainly refrain to comment such thing to my wife, as for a mere “lurker” I am already near 25 pipes… and as for my own description to her, it is a puny and embarassing figure compared to other fellow...

    Dumb Question Regarding Members…

    Thanks. And I agree with your “motto” - if tobacco & whiskey are not the solution, there is probably no solution Lol…

    Rotation of Pipes

    Liked your approach! And taking notes of which pipe you chose for each type of tobacco (knowing that this is very personal, of course, it is not a one-size-fits-all-pipe smokers). I imagine that when you mentioned a “brother” pipe means the same brand/type, only smaller?

    User Title Ladder - Part II

    Will get busy looking for threads where I can add some thoughtful contributions. On second thought, it might be easier to keep asking thoughtful questions to the more experienced guys. Or I might just fill a pipe and lurk some more lol.

    I envy you guys, champions of the thousand posts. It sucks being a “Lurker”… and know that I need another 30 posts or so to be called “Might Stick Around” :ROFLMAO:

    Dumb Question Regarding Members…

    Hello! Harley here, from Brazil. Reasonably new to the forum, starting to love it. My (dumb) question is about the member categories LOL. I tried to look it up in the forums (maybe not too diligently…) but could not find it. I am a “Lurker” - makes sense… what is/are the next category(ies)? Have...

    Thanks JimK. But of course my dream does not compare to your real smoke. Cheers.

    ***What Are You Smoking, March 2023?***

    Traveling without any gear :(. So all I can do is dream about having smoked some Nightcap in my Savinelli straight Night pipe last night and having some Early Morning Pipe in my dedicated Stanwell this morning. Hope that counts…
