    Cleaning My Beloved Radice Aero Reverse Calabash Pipes

    The lighter one did as I bought it brand new. The darker one was an eBay find and had no tamper. I never really use it for cleaning as it seems like more fuss, but I do love the design and functionality of the slotted tamped. Reminds me of gun cleaning tools.

    Cleaning My Beloved Radice Aero Reverse Calabash Pipes

    I guess that’s pretty obvious I could have assumed. It does seem like this sort of pipe is more prone to expansion and contraction. The bigger the mortise, the more it could expand. Seems logical. Same thing applies to other materials in different ways. The bigger the piece of wood, the more it...

    Cleaning My Beloved Radice Aero Reverse Calabash Pipes

    I appreciate it. I guess the bigger question, “would you clean that pipe after every bowl the way I described?”

    Cleaning My Beloved Radice Aero Reverse Calabash Pipes

    Hello all. I’ve searched on here and elsewhere. I’ve read GL Pease’s article on this exact pipe series. I’ve asked fellow pipers. So far, I haven’t found a suitable answer. I’m new. Not a seasoned pro, but deep enough into this hobby to not feel like a complete fool. I had always taken the...

    How Long Should a Bowl Last?

    This is an interesting topic because I can RARELY get a bowl of anything to last over 30 minutes in any pipe. Plum pudding sr in my massive neerup is the longest smoke I ever have. But any rubbed out VA in my castello or radices is rarely over 30 minutes. I also hate relights, so I try to keep...

    Smoking in Super Hot Weather

    That sounds horrible. If I’m feeling frisky I’ll smoke a pipe or cigar in the pool sometimes, when the sun is not directly overhead.

    Need a Big Bowl

    I’m brand new here, but Alibaba? Like the store that sells everything? The way the OP was written and responded to sounded like a company seeking out a product to sell that they haven’t been able to find elsewhere. Nobody else has that vibe?

    Smoking in Super Hot Weather

    Hey what’s up man of music, I’m in Phoenix. Heat advisory all week. 117 degrees. As I type this at 12:40am it’s still 100 degrees out. My two cents of smoking outside in the heat: it’s rough. I do it every night when I walk the dog, but it’s rough. Totally accurate about the briar not being able...
