    My meer pipe review (not Storient)

    Since everyone is now a fan of Storient, I hope I won't be killed by posting a non Storient Meer pipe review here. :puffy: After smoking with it for 7 bowls, I think it would be safe to say I have no problem with its quality (no cracks or any other kind damages). It come with a push/pull tenon...

    A 2 parts questions

    First of all, thank you for those very helpful reply on my last post "Needing help with smoking English blend". I have tried the "wait for some hours" and found that very useful (although I tried that on another blend called "Cerberus", but I think the idea should be the same). Now questions...

    Tobacco Breath

    If you want to remove that smell, I strongly recommend using mouth wash. Or a product from Listerine called "pocketpaks".... The pocketpaks was what I used in the past to remove my cigarette smell in my mouth so that my mother don't know I smoked...

    Very strange Kaywoodie on ebay

    I am 100% sure that passage has nothing related to pipe..... And garlic seems to be used very often in this forum now.. :rofl: Btw, isn't KBB and brand of Swiss? Why it is listed as Kaywoodie?

    The Myth of Brand and Maker in Pipesmoking

    I do believe in the grain thing and that's my basis of finding/buying/biding estate pipe on eBay... But that's all... not the brand....

    Needing help with smoking English blend....

    Thanks everyone. I have never thought about smoking with the blending tobacco... Because I don't have the extra money now, I will have to do that later... In the meantime, I think I will just put that aside (aging?) and try it again later.

    My pipe collection

    I don't get that either.... One more thing, I do like buying some bad condition pipe from eBay. Not only because it will be cheap, I really enjoy the restoration process. Isn't watching a old, dirty becoming beautiful/nice again feel really great? Plus sometimes you will be surprised by how...

    My pipe collection

    LoL I am not embarrassed at all, especially after seeing those Chinese who own dozen of expensive pipes but don't know what pipe smoking is. I think that is what should be embarrassed with. I like my pipes and I enjoy smoking with them.

    Cleaning question

    I am sorry that I cannot help.... But for the S&A treatment, I know there is a great alternative. Retort Cost a little but seems to be a better way for a deep cleaning. Plus you can help the poor cats and dogs. And for the detail about S&A treatment, you can ask Marty. He is a very nice...

    A post for all using/thinking about using Dremel as the polishing tool

    You are welcome and I am very happy that I can help (I get a lot from the people here, and I want to help other whenever I can). I am not sure if yours is the same as my Dremel. Mine has a wheel for adjusting the speed (S, M, H) and the slowest speed is 8000 RPM according to the manual. I find...

    Question on Clean Up/ Polishing

    I have asked about vinegar before... the best reply I remember is: taste left on the stem will be very strong, save that for salad. I have heard toothpaste is good for removing oxidation. But I have never tried that. For some touch up cleaning/maintenance for stem, I have heard using the...
