    Same Model, Same Finish, Different Color, more Expensive?

    Me too! While they do look good with a coating a bare pipe gets dark soon enough. Most of the time I remove most of the coating. If its really an expensive pipe I will leave it and deal with the off taste it has for the first couple of smokes. Usually, if I put a stronger and darker blend in...

Also remember that flint is in there...

    Its a nice day in Southern France, in the upper 70's and sunny. We had a late lunch. Now its time for some Directors cut in a Paul Becker. Hot tea on the side.

    Ive never understood how anyone can not use a case. I cant imagine someone thinking they aren’t gonna drop that phone. I know Im gonna drop it. I know Im gonna drop it soon!

    Dan Tobacco Salty Dogs No Taste?

    I agree. I think its far better as a condiment than a full bowl. Its got a very consistent flavor, not a lot of peaks and valleys. It can do a lot to deepen and sweeten a blend.

    Savinelli Balsa Filters Further Information

    Even simple absorption filters reomve some tar, not as much as a pass through filter (AC or Meer) I have some but I havent used them much. Maybe I will dig them out and try them like @mpxstyle does. I like my AC 9mm filters but there are a few blends that lose too much. Some orental blends...

    I Hope You Hate Deoxidizing Vulcanite Stems As Much As I Do

    Problem is that ebay France doesn’t list pipes in Germany even if you check you will sell in the eurozone. Probably because there are all sorts of pipes listed in Germany. They are there with a highly specific search but otherwise buried by more local listings.

    I Hope You Hate Deoxidizing Vulcanite Stems As Much As I Do

    It probably would work but I’m not sure how to work around details and tax issues. I’m not crazy into restoring but I like to mess around. I also buy too many pipes and sometimes I want to sell a few that didn’t turn my crank as much down the road. Good smokers…just changing interests I even...

    ***What Are You Smoking, June 2025?***

    Finishing some Makhuwa from earlier this morning. Smoking in a Damiano Rovera. I am still adding a sprinkle of Janneman to it to round it out. If you have both give it a try. about 15 percent is all it takes.

    I Hope You Hate Deoxidizing Vulcanite Stems As Much As I Do

    I really dislike it. It is not becuase it is tedious (It is). I work making small detailed things (sax mouthpieces). The thing I dislike is that the size and shape and overall process is physically uncomfortable. It hurts and fatigues my fingers. If it were not for that I would find it less...

    Dan Tobacco Salty Dogs No Taste?

    Im not convinced that its recovering cost. I think someone sees profit and is happy to charge that price. You cant blame someone for wanting to make a profit but its high. That is about what we get charged for C&D and GLP. It doesnt cost an extra 10 bucks added to RETAIL to get the job done.
