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

    HH Burley Flake in my Scandia billiard after a Leberkäs-Semmel with sweet Händlmaier-mustard and fried onions, truly that’s kind of a Bavarian hamburger.

    Who Can Repair a Chipped Stem?

    When you’re able to spend some time on this one go for it and try to restore it. Where’s the chipped part? That would make it a lot easier, just glued in. Although some say that’s not their option and it will soon break again, it’s worth a try. Filling in a hole in a molar also won’t last a...

    Opening the Draw - Drill Bit Size

    I drilled some of my first pipes to 3 mm and they smoke nice, the recents I drilled the draft hole to 4 mm and they smoke even nicer, opening up the bit in the stem in V-shape with a flat file down the shank to 25 mm. That alone does a lot to open the draw.

    Peterson My Mixture 965 - first bowl 😋

    At the beginning of my pipe smoking the 965 was that tobacco which satisfied my smoking needs completely. I tried some Latakias after that, and couldn’t find a similar experience, maybe it depends on the brown cavendish. Midnight Ride by Dan Tobacco is one that gets closer I found out recently...

    You can also try just to adapt your habits of stuffing and draw to the pipe.

    Opening the Draw - Drill Bit Size

    As long as it is not a 1000 bucks pipe I would try it. Try to fit a metal drill into the shank hole to get an idea of the actual measuring. Mm cobs easily go up to 5 or 6 millimetres at the draft hole. If you got that done and one drill fits more or less tightly you have an idea of the...

    I Have This Pfeifenwerkstatt T.H.A.L. Pipe. Does Anyone Have Any Info On The Brand? I Can’t Find Much. Cool Pipe Though.

    No, Peter Heinrichs known as Pfeifen Heinrichs has nothing to do with this pipe. He was a famous seller of pipes cigars and tobacco and cigars in cologne. His family still keeps two shops running, the famous “Haus der 10000 Pfeifen” in the centre of Cologne, and his “Chateau Henri” in a small...

    Choicest Plugs

    I’m also very sensitive to rum or whiskey toppings, I don’t like them. Salty Dogs cut for the first time had a scent of rum that distracted me, but vanished while smoking. Put in a jar for almost a year now there is not much left of the rum flavour, but the tobacco remains some moisture though...

    Stain Coming Off On My Hands

    You don’t need a bench buffer if you’ve got a drill, just buy a buffing wheel to put into, and fix the drill to work top.

    What Music Are You Listening To? October, 2023

    I have that old 20mm still in use, a small lens, lightweight. Also have the 55mm but f 2,8, incredible sharp lens, also in use with the D750. That’s the good thing about Nikon you can still use the old lenses. I’ve got a range of old lenses, e.g. 35/2.0, 105/2,5, 300/4.5.

    Stain Coming Off On My Hands

    Stain used for in pipe making usually is pigments solved in ethanol. The solution transfers into the pores of the wood. When the ethanol dries of there are pigments in the pores and a certain amount of powder still left on the surface. Normally the excess pigments are wiped off by the carver...

    Really? Carla Bley died? Oh what a shit. She was a great composer. And very close to Charlie Haden.

    Listening to the The New Orleans Jazz Band of Cologne in an old cinema of the 1960s now. They play lots of old swing and blues tunes.

    Filters and/or Adapters...or Not?

    Yes, adapters need extra cleaning, and make no difference compared to smoking without. But you can easily come to smoke with filter, I bet you can get more filtered pipes in EU than unfiltered.

    Rotring Pens

    The mechanical pencils and tubular drawing pens made by Rotring are excellent. Some of their pens of the past are built for eternity but too heavy for daily use for me. The best pen for everyday use I ever, ever had (and I tried a lot from noname to expensive Lamy etc.) is the Schneider Slider...
