Pipe Stem Tenon Fitment
I'm not talking about pipes I smoke. I mean restoration. I bought some pipe lots that had some stummels with no stems so I need to refit stems to those stummels.- Rigidman

Proper Pipe Storage.
Well most places don't sell pipe cabinets. They do sell humidors if they sell cigars. But there are a couple high end pipe shops, in the UK mostly, that sells pipe cabinets. $300+ a pop. Figured I'd build one. Also my local cigar/pipe tobacco shop sells cigar boxes for $1. Figured I'd get one...- Rigidman

Proper Pipe Storage.
This is the link. If it works, or copy/paste. https://bespokeunit.com/pipes/storage/ Like I said, I think they're just trying to sell stuff. I do know wood reacts to its environment. I have no idea how briar reacts. They claim your pipe can be damaged by "shock" if you leave it set for...- Rigidman

Pipe Stem Tenon Fitment
I've been reading about fitting stems to pipes. I have the tenon stretcher that you heat up the stem and push it in to expand the tenon. My question is more towards reducing the tenon. Should I invest in the tenon cutter or can I chuck up a stem in my drill and sand it to fit? I know I'll need...- Rigidman

Proper Pipe Storage.
Sometimes I'll go a couple weeks, maybe even a couple months before smoking again. I've been reading that's its important to store your pipes in something like a humidor or food container. Thing is I don't know if they're saying it to get me to buy something through their blog. So I know wood...- Rigidman

Old Farts Desease
You should lean to meditate. Not that ringing bowl type, the one where you go someplace in your mind. You relax, breath, and simply be in that place. It helped me to give my body rest and gave my mind direction. For me it was like being on speed. That's how I felt. My mind racing, trying to...- Rigidman

Need A Filler
Was looking around trying to find out how to make briar dust for fills. Pretty sure I know, but wanted to see if there was different grades, course and fine, for different fills. Looks like you found and interesting solution. I know what you mean about tactile feel. I have a black Wessex...- Rigidman

Old Farts Desease
Yeah since I turned 55 last year, my insomnia has been less of a problem. I can deal with 4-5 hours of sleep. It's better than being up for 3 days.- Rigidman

Old Farts Desease
Where I live its not legal yet. I think they're working on legalization as a medication. So every time I do it, I'm breaking the law. I don't do it often and never keep enough to be a big deal. Hopefully the federal government will change that soon. The laws about opiates are really stupid I...- Rigidman

Brigham, Rock Maple, Charcoal, or Nothing?
I have a Chinook 19 on the way. I got it on eBay for around $40. Converted from C. It's a Canadian style. Its a nice black rusticated pipe. I look forward to putting it in my rotation. I'm going to try it with/without the maple filters. That way I'll find out which I prefer. Thanks- Rigidman
