    New Smoker and Cleaning Question

    Could try pre-bending the tip of the pipe cleaner before inserting it. You don't want the metal of the pipe cleaner scratching the inside of the stem. If pre-bending doesn't work maybe a small cap of tape?????

    20 Lbs, That's the Limit

    Major problem for me; 20 pounds means I can only smoke three and a half years. What do I smoke for the other year and a half while I wait for resupply? Are we allowed to grow our own? Will I be forced to do weird things in alleys to get black market aromatics? Will I be forced to smoke the...

    Can anyone tell me about this ~100 year old pipe I have?

    Any type of maker's marks on the bowl of the pipe or the stem? Looks well used so I wouldn't be worried about damaging it; a little reaming of the bowl might be called for.
