    My New Mini - Eltang Basic

    Ah yes, the Eltang mini inspired me to a pipe in my own workshop. I hadn’t a carbon tube for the stem at hand, to keep it light. So I used a short enough steel tube to prevent the bowl tilting and fitted a light weight ebonite mouthpiece to the tube. The Minis are a nice design.

    Such A Deal!

    Not sure 🤔 it’s not only the stem. Also the bowl doesn’t look like meerschaum. It’s more a white clay or porcelain appearance with a light brown ceramic glaze. And that would fit the style of the pipe perfectly.

    To fill or not to fill? That’s the question.

    First smoke in my last homemade now, „University Flake“. It smokes just fine as expected from a 4 mm drilling and a deep v- slot in the internals of the stem.

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

    First smoke in my last homemade from February: https://pipesmagazine.com/Forums/threads/to-fill-or-not-to-fill-that’s-the-question.96252/ I smoked a lot of „University Flake“ at that time, and so the choice of tobacco was clear for this one. And it smokes as expected with airway drilled up to...

    Bore hole too narrow for cleaners

    I think I missed the point. Is it the stem or the shank you can’t get the pipecleaner through?

    I Didn't Know Yello-Bole Made Metal Pipes

    I like watching those sawtooth pipes. It’s a certain kind of technical design to cool down the smoke, it could be H. R. Giger developing the approach further into an aquanautic alien, or a steam punk feature.

    What Music Are You Listening to? - March, 2023

    Although the Walkman has been a revolutionary thing in my later youth I never had or missed one. I remember elderly people bitching and moaning about the kids with their cheap earphones sitting in busses and trains, or crossing streets like somnambulists. Same nagging as on today’s mobile /...

    Had My First Pipe Dream!

    If you dream of pipes, you may remember the surrealist Rene Magritte. It’s not so easy to find a photo from his painting online. There are surprisingly many out there that received a facelifting, different typography different light accents, different colours.

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

    Can’t you dial up via VPN from a region that’s already in Germany? So at least you’ve found one dealer. There is a lot good tobacco out there I wouldn’t mind about one. One of the biggest around here is „Pfeifen Heinrichs“ with branches in cologne or the „Chateau Henri“. There I’ve found the...

    Did you try to get some tobacco from TAK in Kiel or Dan Tobacco to China? And what’s English for you? Virginias, Latakia and Balkan types?

    I have tried the „Original“, that was also a nice one. But I fear you won’t like it, as far as I remember you don’t like Burley. And that one is typical Burley, with hints of chocolate. Those are the only two I know from the amphora line.
