Tenon Funnel or Flush Beat Down
This is great, fun reading, and thought provoking. Provoking the thought: wouldn’t this make the (beloved?) Falcon an engineering marvel? Straight shot from the center of a briar bowl to the mouthpiece... hummmm...puffy -

Removing the Stem of a Warm Pipe
I have a slightly different thought on the warm/hot pipes and the mortise/stem connection. I believe the swelling is more from the moisture (steam) generated from the tobacco smoke (a natural byproduct of combustion), combined with the heat. I generally don't pull stems on warm/hot pipes...- Ctbill

ArmyMount Pipes And Their Origin
Fair enough. I should have added - I have mostly (but not always) adopted the "hot water rinse" lately (when available), so I have a bit more moisture to deal with. I still do this on regular stems, but wait until dry to reassemble... -
Do You Still Have Your First Pipe?
No, but no great loss financially or emotionally. A straight, rusticated Dr. Grabow Lark from the corner drug store! -
ArmyMount Pipes And Their Origin
