    New Year's Eve On The Road

    May you have a safe and good evening this New Year's eve. It was a grand gesture to make your room available to others who smoke. Uncommon and generous. Good for you!

    December, 2010 What Are You Smoking? II

    For me, this New Year's Eve, it's 5 year old Exotique with The Ice Cream Man From Hell. I'm such a party animal these days... http://pipesmagazine.com/members/fred/album/picture/556

    Pipe Reamers?

    For me, the Savinelli Fits-all Reamer takes the prize. It's simple and doesn't require a lot of skill to use. It doesn't put a lot of stress on the Block, so I use it on my Meerschaums...

    Funny looking stem - What's going on?

    Clean the Pipe with Everclear prior to smoking it, including the inside and outside of the bit. Use a bit polish to shine and protect the Vulcanite. You can use Mr Clean Magic Eraser on the bit. It's a melamine micro abrasive and works well, but you will have to come back with a bit polish...

    Calabash Questions

    These days, unless you just stumble up on a gourd calabash at the local B&M, most people get them as estate Pipes. Currently, Fikri Baki is the only Carver producing these Pipes, which start out at $300. After years of work, Deniz Ural has secured a supply of these gourds. It is the gourd...

    Rain, Snow, People, And A Good Pipe

    Yep, the killjoys are all over the planet... We must need 'em..., for something. I've not worked it out yet, so I devote as little time to them as possible. The dog sound pretty cool.

    snapped shank

    This is really a job for a professional. Typically the shank will be banded & bonded. Floyd Norwood has been my Pipe repair guy for years. http://www.norwoodspiperepair.com/index.html

    Calabash Questions

    The Meerschaum bowl cake should be kept to the thickness of a dime and the draft hole kept open. You can use Beeswax on the bowl's plateau for both appearance and protection of it's surface. The inside of the gourd should be kept free of debris and occasionally cleaned with a doubled over...

    does anyone else use a pipe to cope with stress?

    The quiet enjoyment of my Pipes and tobaccos is a pleasure that provides more than just comfort. It's cheaper than therapy too.
