    My First Attempt at Stem Restoration

    yaz, they look good. I keep my stems at least reasonably clean to avoid the taste from oxidized stems. When I have the time, I do the full blown polishing with Oxyclean and micromesh pads. I've also used Novus nr 3 and 2 scratch remover with good results in getting a high polish. A coat of...

    "I Love the Smell of Pipe Smoke"

    I can't smell what I'm smoking unless I leave the room and come back into it. In the past, when I smoked more in public, people would sometimes tell me they liked the smell of the English blends I was smoking.

    Repairing a Genuine Amber Stem

    Repairing an amber stem should be left to a professional with experience repairing them, especially a pipe with the historical significance of yours. I don't know where you got the advice to use epoxy and to heat the stem, but I question it. Amber becomes brittle with age and can shatter if...

    Current Magazine Ad With a Pipe in It

    One of my daughters mentioned that an ad for Tommy Hilfiger in the current (May 2013) issue of Vanity Fair has a man holding a pipe. Sure enough, on page 47 they show a guy holding a nice sized smooth pipe with a saddle bit. You can't see much of the pipe as he's holding the bowl in his hand...

    Everclear Prices

    skapunk1, you started a good conversation. It helped clarify what states carry grain alcohol, in spite of information that's been circulated to the contrary. In my part of Connecticut I pay $15.99 for 750ml of Everclear 190 proof. They also carry 1.75 liter bottles. I know they sell the larger...
