    Interesting places near Baltimore Maryland?

    I’ve broken 1, an OD Jamestowne. I still have have 3 other types but I really miss the Jamestowne.

    Interesting places near Baltimore Maryland?

    I'm taking a surprise work trip to Maryland all next week, northeast of Baltimore. I'm completely unfamiliar with this part of the country. Looking for local info/advice. I plan to bring some pipes, but wondering what sort of culture I'll find out there. How friendly to smoking will the place...

    Smoke Air Purifiers

    Among other things, I happen to sell a high end line of air purifiers, I never mentioned it because I don’t want to break the forum rules about soliciting. The air purifier helps my prevent strain between me and my smoke hating wife. Non-specifically I’d steer you toward something with both...

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

    No photo today. Ive been away from the forums but not away from the pipe. Tonight was secret-santa Borkum Riff burbon whiskey in my favorite meer. Yummy.

    Clay Pipe Logistics

    I tried the silicon tape, but couldn't keep it very thin. I like it the least, but it is usable immediately, so maybe it is my favorite :)

    Clay Pipe Logistics

    I tried some nail polish but it isn't as hard as I had hoped. Maybe the polish isn't the good stuff you all used, but I can dent it with my fingernail, and a little bit of clenching is going to remove the polish. For comfort and performance, I prefer the twine rapping on the OD williamsburg...

    Custom job? Shouldn’t be too difficult to do. A very cool idea!

    Clay Pipe Logistics

    I haven't given it a proper test, but I think I prefer the cotton wrapping to the nail polish that I've tried. The cotton dries quickly. You're suggesting hemp. As long as it is fine enough I think that the Hemp would be even better once the taste goes away. Let us know how it goes! Will be...

    Clay Pipe Logistics

    I am loving the clay with Aros the past few days! I have one meerschaum that doesn’t ghost, and one that does, but neither of them smoke as cool as these cheap clays. Just be sure to get a few of them to make up for breaking :)

    Can We Talk About Water Glass (Sodium Silicate)?

    My bowls tend to have quite a bit of moisture. That coating would make me nervous about retrohaling.

    Clay Pipe Logistics

    I'm sorry for your loss. I was being rough with it partially to learn the limits when it does break. I I had hoped the stem would break and I'd just have a shorter pipe, no such luck. I was surprised a few times when it didn't break. I was thinking the same way as you, "Maybe these aren't as...

    Clay Pipe Logistics

    Something sad happened: I dropped the OD Jamestowne. Only got ~8 bowls out of this one. Interesting to me how the discoloration went into the walls of the clay, I had expected it to be on the surface only.

    Clay Pipe Logistics

    Starting with the advice of @woodsroad I am painting 2 out of 4 clays. That leaves me with 2 to smoke while I wait for the first two. The clay seems to be really absorbing the polish, and I do not have the steady hand that I thought I did...
