    New, Cheap "ST Dupont"

    Mine finally arrived last Thursday (a little under a month since the purchase). Had to go and buy proper flints. Installed, filled, adjusted and it works great. However, "you get what you pay for". Although heavy as a brick (which should probably translate "quality"), the finish is crap. I've...

    Kiln That Fired Millions of Clay Pipes Was Unearthed

    A Sting In An Old Peterson

    Thanks guys! I'll clean the pipe as a start. I don't really like this syringe-thing. So I'll try to remove it first. I'll post my observations.

    A Sting In An Old Peterson

    Now it gets a bit complicated. Shall I let it sit there, or shall I remove it? Previously I removed an inner tube from my beat-up '71 Dunhill. The tube was bent and buried under layers of cake inside the bowl. I had to use a drill to actually remove the piece of sting from that shank. The pipe...

    A Sting In An Old Peterson

    So what should be the proper way to clean it? I thought: oxy-bath => rubbing pads => oil/conditioner

    A Sting In An Old Peterson

    Thanks! Just as I though. Yes, it's Donegal Rocky XL999. Great, I'll try to pull it out then. Maybe a de-oxydation bath first...

    A Sting In An Old Peterson

    Just got an old XL999 Pete. There's a sting going out from the tenon. Looks like a syringe sting :) I don't really like the idea of such thing protruding from the stem. Yes, it looks like a Dunhill inner tube, but much shorter (doesn't go all the way into the bowl). What is this thing for? Do I...

    New, Cheap "ST Dupont"

    Mine has left great China somewhere around Nov.5th. It's fine, I'm patient: rarely it takes less than month to get something from there.
