    Pipe stem repair and reshape bodge

    Well done! I haven't had the guts to try that yet. You've given me some courage.

    My Dog is Sick (No not really)

    I can't see anyway you could get somebody who is merely curious about pipe smoking to jump right in with a $200.00 purchase. I certainly did not approach it that way when I started. So to answer your question in a round about way, first you need to get them interested generally in pipe smoking...

    Tried a Falcon!

    I inherited my first Falcon from my grandfather and liked it so much I bought another. I'm sure you will too.

    Lengthy Tale About The City Council Voting To Close Our Club

    Seems to me that if I wanted to open up a business where smoking was allowed, I should be able to do that. If people want to work there or go there for entertainment, then they should be able to do that. The problem we have is that there are plenty of people out there who think they know better...

    My Woman Left Me

    My heartfelt condolences. If there is any solace in this it's that it happened before you had built a family life. When that comes tumbling down the fallout reaches far a wide. Accept the support of your friends after a suitable period of mourning and introspection. A lesson I learned from a...

    Huge Pipe Collection I Heard About

    Every day the surgeons at our hospital use instruments that have been used on thousands of patients and inserted into places more intimate than a mouth. They just have to been cleaned properly first.

    Scares about ghosting and English/Latkia vs Aromatic

    Everyone has their own level of tolerance for having a favorite blend over run by but whatever was in the bowl beforehand. For myself, I like my balkans free of vanilla or cherry or Irish cream or whatever other flavorings happen to bleed through. If you have more than three or four pipes it's...

    Eurotrip and Pipe smoking

    hanymamdouh, I wish I could be at some of those places to meet up for a smoke! I've never been to any of those cities, but I'm sure you will have a great time, particularly having your cousin as a guide in Milan for a couple of days should be great.

    New Members, Introduce Yourself

    Welcome Mr. Macbean. Supply may eventually become a problem for us all, so it's wise to begin cellaring. :-) I'm with you on the pipe and book combination. I've recently finished all the Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, Mysterious Island and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, all with the help of...

    Just Returned From Ten Days in Santa Fe

    Well, there are the native inhabitants. There are descendants of the Spanish colonials, there are Mexicans from the south and smattering of "New Age" mystics and artists here and there. I can only tell you that everyone I met without exception over the ten days I was there was very kind, helpful...

    Has Anyone Ever Smoked a Big Ben Pipo?

    I think it's a cool pipe for your collection. I've bid on a few but never won. Consider yourself lucky!

    Getting My Wisdom Teeth Pulled...

    I think the surgical technique for removing wisdom teeth has improved a lot since I had mine out in 1977. Both my sons had their wisdom teeth out a few years ago. Surgery was in the morning and they were eating dinner that evening. Recovery was rapid and I don't think they even took any of their...

    Just Returned From Ten Days in Santa Fe

    There is so much to see in New Mexico that it would take a lot longer than the mere ten days I had to experience it all! We did manage to get up to Taos for only a day trip. Here's a pic from the Taos Puelbo: My wife is of Spanish heritage, so she was primarily interested in seeing things...

    Restored - Kaywoodie Flame Grain 13B (Author) Drinkless (VERY Pic Heavy)

    Ah, a beer retort for the restorer! The pipe looks great. What would you think of using black superglue to further fill in tooth dent in the stem? I'm not suggesting it for that pipe necessarily, but if you were inclined to experiment with that technique sometime that one might be a good subject.

    Just Returned From Ten Days in Santa Fe

    And it was a very nice trip of discovery. My wife and I based ourselves in a hotel just outside of Santa Fe so we could visit friends and see the sights of New Mexico. I had never been and was fascinated with just about everything I saw there from all the historical sights to the museums as...

    Primitive Pipe

    The brass ring really didn't seem to add any function or flair in my judgement. I just slips on and off so I can always change my mind. Seems like something that would have gotten lost pretty quickly out the field.

    Primitive Pipe

    Finally got my hands on the rustic pipe. My intent was mostly to clean and preserve since I won't be smoking this thing. I agree with Cortez that the brass band looked like it didn't really belong, so I slipped it off. Luckily it wasn't covering any sort of crack repair though I could have...

    How About These Pipes

    I have one. Whatever it's made of it's very heavy, dense "wood" and heavily lacquered. I found it smokes hot and wet so I gave it to my adult son who smokes it occasionally. It's not much of an investment so you can order one and see for yourself. I'm much happier spending my six bucks on a 50...
