    Is it OK to Never Remove the Stem ?

    I’m sorry this has happened. It’s a shame you attempted your own repair before contacting the seller (they might’ve accepted a return if you left it “as is”). A problem with the pipe being permanently stuck in its present state that comes to mind—by default, Savinelli ships its 6mm filter pipes...

    ***What Are You Smoking, April 2024?***

    Getting ready to watch UFC Fight Night, which is starting early today. Having Seattle Pipe Club Plum Pudding in a Briar, Sweat, and Tears (BST) Large Curve (LC) Swan Neck 3/4 Bent Billiard.

    ***What Are You Smoking, April 2024?***

    UFC starts early today at 3:00 pm EST. I thought I’d squeeze in a pre-fight smoke before a deep chambered pipe comes out for the duration. Having Esoterica Tobacciana And So to Bed in a Savinelli Autograph Bent Dublin (Grade/Gruppo 0).

    How long to smoke a bowl?

    It really depends on the size of the pipe’s chamber and the cut of tobacco. I have tiny pipes that last twenty minutes at best; some deep chambered pipes will last over five hours with a crumble cut. In a pipe with an “average sized” .75" x 1.5" chamber, about ninety minutes to two hours? It...

    Anyone Recognize this Pipe?

    In the ’50s, a lot of pipe companies from Italy made similar looking bull figural pipes like this—I have one from Savinelli’s Genova shop with a horn stem.

    4.7 Quake in NJ!

    We thought it was a rumbling truck at first, then thought, “Uh, oh, we better get out from under the bathtub.”

    Pieces of a potential pipe

    Not all stingers are designed to be removable from pipes, but that one might be.

    Curry Half and Half

    Sounds yummy, but this is the first I’ve heard of it. When I saw the title, I was half expecting some weird concoction using Half and Half tobacco, or the dairy mix (Half and Half = Half Cream, Half Milk) used in coffee.

    Pieces of a potential pipe

    The small metal piece is a stinger or condenser; it looks like it might be removable. The white thing in the stem of the other pipes appears to be a 9mm filter, which be replaced by an adapter, or other kinds of filters like balsa wood, or smoked without anything in place.

    Jim's SPC Plum Pudding Special Reserve Robusto Review.

    @JimInks To my mind, with a cigar, there should be no relights. Were there construction issues?

    Interesting Completed Ebay Auctions - British Pipes

    It’s always possible it was a collector that was searching for missing parts for incomplete pipes in his collection. Who knows? Maybe the person needs a Sasieni stinger. Or likes Frankenstein pipes. Or has no idea what he was buying.

    Cleaning a Nasty 1890's Horse Head Meerschaum

    The bowl is small because this is a cheroot holder.

    Swan Neck Indulgence

    George, the pipe is gorgeous. Not to be too nitpicky, but the bottom of the moon doesn’t look parallel to the stem face edge—is it just the camera angle and/or lens distortion making it look off?
