Draft Hole on My New Classic Vauen
Well, I guess I'll have to keep her. 😆 She smoked very well! The drilling made zero difference. I'm so glad I kept her. Thanks everyone! -
Draft Hole on My New Classic Vauen
Thanks, it was just over $100, making it my least expensive briar. It was the last one in stock. I do get a little OCD at times. When she first arrived I did look and I felt it was almost centered and ok with it. Then today, I brought out the flashlight 🔦 and just kept looking and looking. 😆 -
Draft Hole on My New Classic Vauen
Thanks guys. I did get a 15% off for July 4th promotion. So price was good. I decided to look closer at another Vauen I have, a white dot lovat. I haven't smoked that one either. It draws exactly the same as the classic and while the draft hole is perfectly centered, it's slightly lower... -
Draft Hole on My New Classic Vauen
Hi, I decided to take a closer look at my New Classic Vauen. I used a flashlight this time. It looks to me like the draft hole is ever so slightly off center and possibly low. Slightly to the right in pics. draws very well dry, but I wonder if I'll have issues when smoking. It's a 9mm... -
Stimulation or Relaxation?
I don't smoke often, but when I do it's all about relaxing in a small, quiet park near me. It's usually mid morning with cold flavored water, now in the summer. If it stimulated me, I wouldn't pipe smoke at all.- crazyhog

Should I Be Concerned with the 9mm Tenon Inside the Shank/Mortise?
I decided to contact SP Europe about this, since the had an AKB that was very similar. I figured that they deal with a lot more 9mm Meerschaums. This was their answer and glad we can put this topic to rest: "The tenon is typically bonded into the shank using a high-quality, heat-resistant...- crazyhog

Should I Be Concerned with the 9mm Tenon Inside the Shank/Mortise?
Hi, I had someone in another forum bring up a concern about my new AKB having it's tenon glued into the shank. Possible toxicity issues and weakening of the tenon due to heat? It's a 9mm set up and I have seen others done the same way. Fits my White Elephant filters well. I do have another...- crazyhog

Real Lattice And It's Benefits
I've been doing a little research on my new AKB Meerschaum. I found some interesting information about how lattice pipes should be constructed. Luckily mine was done the right way, but many are not. Lattice designed meerschaum pipes typically feature a separation between the outer lattice...- crazyhog

New AKB Meerschaum from SP
Hi, I posted this in the Normal threads, but wanted to also post it here. My first and only Meerchaum pipe. I only smoke filtered pipes. It's a 9mm drilled Meerschaum, which is pretty rare for AKB. I bought it during the 15% off July 4th sale. It's a decent size with a fairly large bowl...- crazyhog

Not Sure If You Should Put Your Meerschaum Back in Case or On Rack?
I have the answer, how about both? After the pipe has dried of course. This is a mid size Billiard style with tall bowl Meerschaum.- crazyhog

Woodmere 2 Pipe Stand
I received this 2 pipe stand yesterday. It's absolutely beautiful and done in teak. It is a lighter color than on SP website, but I think I prefer this. Made on India. It's definitely better quality than Decatur.- crazyhog

I Just Received My Order from PC!
Yes, me too. I had askes SP customer service, but they had no idea. Either way, this pipe came out very nice. It's not anything too elaberate, so I figured the carver would have to be terrible to mess up a lattice. The engineering, draft hole and 9mm drilling is very good also. -

Oops, I just realized I said from PC, it was SP of course! Moderator, it would be great if you can edit that for me. Thanks
