    Reliable Estate pipe sales

    Unrestored pipes from private sellers are a often a great deal and cheaper than those of the pro sellers. I decide to buy on how sellers communicate when asked and on the shown photos. Then the whole process of cleaning/ reaming/ buffing is in your hands to your liking and it’s fun too...

    Superglued a Tenon, but There's an Air Hole ... How to Fill?

    I I hope I pointed out the process in a way it could be understood. I might missed the right terms. Ask if something isn’t clear. I can understand that you want to get a smokable pipe and not invest more bucks, than necessary. But maybe it’s easier to get a new stem made by a pro. Otherwise...

    Superglued a Tenon, but There's an Air Hole ... How to Fill?

    “I guess I could try to press some superglue into the crack, being ready to wipe any off that ended up on the outside of the shank or bit.” Just try, don’t wipe the superglue of. Let it dry don’t wipe of, because then you will take of again some of the glue. superglue needs some hours (up to 24...

    Is there a general consensus on what blend a new piper should start on?

    I came to pipe smoking from two years abstinence of smoking hand rolled cigarettes, dark shag, from the age of 14 on. First I smoked a small sample of MB dark fired Kentucky, which put me in nicotine trance immediately, i puffed it much to fast. Then I tried some light danish aromatic, which...

    Recomendations for a good sitter pipe.

    I don’t know who of today’s pipe makers actually makes panelled pipes. Just look for it. Google it. Maybe there’s someone here who knows. That one is an Erikson “Echt Lacroix” from France, estimated 1950s.

    Restore estate pipes

    Keep up with the sanding method when it comes to really deep greening. The finer grades of the manicure block is good for finishing the pipe afterwards. Otherwise you could just purchase micromesh, it’s not too expensive in the long run in comparison to the nail block - actually it’s the same...

    What Music Are You Listening to? - March, 2023

    No, didn’t ever know that, and of course it sounds familiar to the Hotel. I think there’s a lot of copying going on in music. Just add a note here, and shift rhythm slightly there and there’s something new. Copyright is really a hard game in this business.

    Cannot Seem to Shake Off Conjunctivitis: Any Suggestions?

    If conventional medicine with all the antibiotics doesn’t help, try alternative medicine methods. There are a few as homoeopathy, which I would try first (look for a doctor in the classic homoeopathie way- one high potency remedy at the time). Also there is acupuncture or phytotherapy. Besides...
