    1st Estate Pipe Purchase Has a Demon of a Lakeland Ghost!

    Pretty much everything I did is detailed in my original post above and includes reaming, sanding, alcohol bath, and I'm currently doing coffee grounds. Did you read the post?

    1st Estate Pipe Purchase Has a Demon of a Lakeland Ghost!

    Thanks for chiming in here. I've read dozens of threads and 100's of posts about people trying to get ghosts out of pipes and so I entered into this knowing the likelyhood was low.

    1st Estate Pipe Purchase Has a Demon of a Lakeland Ghost!

    I've been smoking pipes for all of about 5 years now and never really had any interest in purchasing Estate Pipes because I think my expectations are always too high. Other than searching for that perfect birth year Dunhill, I'd decided that estates were not for me. I'm the same way with cars...

    ***What Are You Smoking, January 2021?***

    That, my friend, is a beautiful pipe! Been kind of obsessed with looking at squat dogs, as of late.

    ***What Are You Smoking, January 2021?***

    Good work. When I came home from work on Thursday afternoon, I had very low water pressure and suspected there was work being done on our community water system. We live in a small mountain community with our own private water company and this happens from time to time. Spoke with a couple...

    EGR in a Stanwell 11 Amber with some Creamed English Breakfast Tea. Have to be at work today, but nothing going on so hopefully I can get a couple pipes in today.

    Granger from a gifted sample that was sent by @Grangerous . Smoking in my Altinok Squashed Tomato Meer. Sitting under the awning of my garage porch next to my scrap redwood, while sipping black creamed tea. It’s a rare rainy day.

    Chemical Smell and Taste in My Altinok Meer

    This site is so much more helpful in the ways of piping. I've asked this question elsewhere and everyone swore up and down that all meers should never impart and taste ever. They should be good from the start! This flavor is neither chalky or soapy. It is quite sharp and actually causing...

    Chemical Smell and Taste in My Altinok Meer

    Chemical Smell and Taste in My Altinok Meer

    Definitely chemical/synthetic. I guess I'll just smoke a bunch of straight burley bowls and see if it improves.

    Chemical Smell and Taste in My Altinok Meer

    EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) I worked with Altinok and had a pipe made for me to match a pipe previously listed on his site, This pipe has always had a strange chemical smell and taste and has never gone away after 15 or so bowls. I've run water and alcohol through it many...
