    The Dupont Knock-off

    Anyone familiar with Ligne 2 repairs know how hard it is to swap nozzles? I saw one site you can get a pipe nozzle for supposedly but it's not intuitive how one would swap it

    Pipe Smoking, Relationships, and Compromise

    Having a direct discussion about it can be useful. She should understand how important the hobby is to you. She can voice her concerns and you can listen and compromise as needed. I smoke outside as much as I can but if its raining or freezing my wife understands if I sit mostly inside the fire...

    Questions for Leonardw

    The '<250lbs of HH ODF sold in Germany' is a pretty sobering figure and is helping me clear out some cognitive dissonance. I have personally bought around 3% of Germany's yearly sales of HH ODF in 2024. We might assume that HH ODF sells more than 1klbs a year in the US market, but probably not...

    Questions for Leonardw

    I'm not pro-corpo bullshit but they don't need a survey to get a sense of what people want. They have hard sales figures that show what people want.

    Got this Perla Nera hybrid shape in off eBay. I love the Perla Nera finish and it seems very hard to find, especially in good condition. Anyone have tips here for how to maintain? Maybe light oiling with obsidian oil on occasion, keep the UV protectants up? I'm going to store it in my pipe...

    The Dupont Knock-off

    I got a DuPont Memorial Lighter, not even a Dunant... fake serial and everything. Works great. Works better with corona flints... got a pack of wheels coming in like you mentioned. Pings perfect!!

    Questions for Leonardw

    I am confused that 507C is marketed as 100% virginia, while LNF is marketed as a VaPer. Wonder what the thinking is with that?

    Questions for Leonardw

    Thanks for sharing @leonardw . That 507C thing is gonna blow some minds. Wonder what other info like that would help the pipe community understand how much we think is sacred is actually way more complicated than we think.

    STG Mac Baren/Sutliff Purchase - A Few Words from STG's Leonard Wortzel

    The decisions of capitalist bean counters at the top never have anything to do with the people performing the real labor on the factory floors. Of course it wasn't a failure on their part. Are they going to be given adequate severances or other compensation for having their lives scrambled due...

    STG Mac Baren/Sutliff Purchase - A Few Words from STG's Leonard Wortzel

    does stg have any interest in continuing to support the boutique blenders that rely on sutliff tobaccos for their house blends? I imagine many, but not all, of those blending tobaccos meet the >1k pound sale criteria

    It's looking great. I've seen some virgin type finishes that end up being kinda dirty but yours is coming in very nicely
