    How would you fix this crack?

    I’m thinking a stainless steel tube inside shank and sealing the crack might at least keep this pipe in service.

    Colossal/Colossals "Custom Made" Algerian Briar France

    I would love to know more about this brand now that I have one. @jguss Is there something in your amazing archive that might shed some light on this brand?

    Have I Damaged My Pipe In My Early Attempts At Pipe Smoking?

    It almost looks like a piece of tobacco leaf adhered to the wall.

    KAF pipe from Ukraine

    They have a presence on eBay and Amazon, so they get a lot of eyes looking at their diverse product line.

    What Cigar Are You Smoking? 2025

    Having a Cigars International Original Cubans Belicoso, 6.0" x 54 on the porch. It’s 86⁰ F outside. Cicadas are chittering away along with the whir of neighbour’s air conditioners—it’s summertime for sure.

    Twigs and Stems: Do You All Care?

    I rub out my tobacco in an Acacia wood bowl that I use for drying. I usually pinch and break any of the little veins into smaller bits. Once dry, all the tobacco gets loaded into the pipe’s chamber and smoked.

    No Minimum Order Needed

    Famous Smoke is local to me in Pennsylvania. They’ve pretty much divested themselves of everything related to pipes and only stock cigar related things. Cigars International still stocks tins and bulk pipe tobacco and they have a guy that’s into pipes looking after the section in the Bethlehem...

    Not Looking Likely That Seattle Pipe Club Will Be Back On The Market?

    I remember reading somewhere here on the forum several months ago that Cornell & Diehl was not an option; this doesn’t seem like new news.

    Did You Lose Your Pipe ?

    I learned about “toilet plume” many years ago and always close the lid before flushing. This relatively recent video might have many of you changing your practices, too:

    AI Is Out To Destroy Your Pipes!

    This is worrisome. What do you when you can’t shut it down?

    Guess the grade of these pipes...

    It seems like what you described as looking like a sand pit could easily be small nicks or gouges from handling in the years since the pipe was graded; it seems unlikely a pipe would get a high grade with a flaw like a sand pit, but you never know.

    What Cigar Are You Smoking? 2025

    I suppose so—I patched some mortar on a retaining wall on the side of our property in 90⁰+ heat last week. I sweated a lot and konked out for a nap before properly rehydrating; even though I drank tons of water after waking up, this ultimately resulted in joint inflammation in my right foot...

    What Cigar Are You Smoking? 2025

    Having a a Cigars International Knock-off of a Cohiba Churchill, 6 7/8" x 48 on the porch. It’s 77⁰ F with a nice light breeze. It feels good to be outside after being laid up in bed for several days.

    AI Is Out To Destroy Your Pipes!

    Al, being a visual artist, I have to admit when I first came to this forum, I thought the combination of your avatar and username was @ssjones and was some kind of visual pun you were making as a joke, though I couldn’t understand because you seemed like a very nice guy.
