    Stain In The Bowl

    Was the stain getting in the chamber around the rim or seeping through the bowl? You will get an unusually porous block of briar from time to time that will wick the stain from the outside of the bowl into the tobacco chamber. It's one of the reasons briar is such a good vessel for tobacco...

    Just tell her it's better than the odor you polluted the room with before you lit up your pipe. :rofl:

    What Are You Smoking? June 2012

    McClelland's Royal Cajun Ebony in a Stanwell straight pot. Not a great combination. This tobacco does better in a narrower chamber. It's wonderful stuff in the right pipe though. Now I know. 8)

    Would You Like Fries With That?

    Question For The People Who Own A Macqeen Pipe

    I bought a MacQueen wizard back when I first started pipe smoking. The draw is almost too open for a stem that long and ends up feeling like you're sucking on a garden hose. Are you sure you're loosing air through the stem? If yours is anything like the one I used to have, it may just be the...

    Camping Question

    I only ever take one camping but the one I take is one I don't care to break. If you have a beater just take it and don't worry about it.

    Transitioning into a Traditional Pipe clincher versus hand held

    For me, it depends on the quality of the pipe and what I'm doing when smoking them. I clench a lot because I just don't usually have the time to sit and just smoke and relax. I'm usually smoking a pipe while doing something else that requires the use of my hands. I reserve lightweight mid to...

    Carving Animal Shapes from Briar

    You can do it but you'll probably have an easier time with a rotary tool with various bits to do the carving. Briar is very hard and dense and isn't easy to shape with traditional carving chisels and tools.

    Pipe Smoking and Addiction

    I know what addiction is. I smoked cigarettes for 12 years starting when I was 16. I remember the times I would try to quit and the cravings being so strong I would smoke my roommates cigarette butts out of an ashtray. I kicked that habit 15 years ago. I truly enjoy smoking a pipe but have...

    How Did You Spend Your Father's Day?

    So how did all you dad's spend your Father's Day? My wife and kids got me a new hammock and stand so I put it up and tried it out. I poured me a glass of JD single barrel, loaded my Karsten Tarp with McClelland's Royal Cajun Ebony, and watched Thor on my Kindle Fire. It was as grand as it looks:

    What do you store your pipes in at home?

    I keep my pipes in a curio cabinet on various racks and stands in my den.

    What would cause thick "residue"?

    Yup, looks pretty normal to me too. It appears that the owner only smoked the first half or so of the bowl pretty regularly which would account for the thicker cake at the top of the chamber.

    How many?

    On my work days it's two per day. On my days off I'm lucky if I get one in with the kiddos.

    Need help with a broken tenon stuck in the mortise

    Oh, and you don't want to screw the screw in too much. Just enough to grip the airway.

    Need help with a broken tenon stuck in the mortise

    I use a drywall screw also. It grabs nicely but doesn't expand the tenon and make it more tight. The freezer idea is a good one. I haven't tried that in the past. I haven't had to but it's a good safety measure anyway. Good luck and sorry you got the shaft.
