Needing help with smoking English blend....
Thanks everyone. Actually I tried a blend called "Mississippi River" by Seattle Pipe Club and I like it. Since the rating (strength, taste, etc) about that blend on tobaccoreviews.com is pretty much the same as the Mississippi River, I thought I may/should like it....- kennyjo

A post for all using/thinking about using Dremel as the polishing tool
It is dense, but very soft (like a cotton ball). If my thinking is right, that wheel should work fine. Just last night, I have polished a pipe that I recently purchased from eBay by that wheel. I will post all my pipe after my camera is fully charged. Don't want to wait for that meer pipe...- kennyjo

A post for all using/thinking about using Dremel as the polishing tool
I found something that work very well when applying/polishing Carnauba Wax with Dremel tool. 1 inch Soft Felt Wheel or On eBay I have been using that for a few polishing (bowl and stem) and I personally find the result very satisfying. The only 2 problems I have with it are: 1.) I can only...- kennyjo

Needing help with smoking English blend....
I mostly smoke aromatic tobacco but now I kind of get bored with it.... And I want to try something different. Recently I purchased a tin of Hearth & Home Marquee Magnum Opus (a lot of positive review on tobaccoreviews.com). I am not sure is that because I don't like Latakia or what. I find...- kennyjo

Serious question about pipes, and cancer
To be honest, I personally won't care about this for 2 reasons. 1.) Life is already short and fragile, it is impossible for someone who care too much to enjoy life. If it is the time, your heart will somehow stop beating; if it is not, you can survive even a car run over you... 2.) I believe if...- kennyjo

Some bitching about recent visit to a Chinese Pipe Forum.....

Question about the marking on pipe stem.
I recently purchased a Hardcastle pipe from ebay. I believe someone had tried to restore it and the restoration was done poorly. The white color of the "H" on the stem was gone. I am wondering is there anyway for me to recolor/restore it? If yes, what should I use? Thanks- kennyjo

Anyone has any experience with meerschaumpipemaster.com?
Don't know if anyone still checking this post...But still I will keep update it. Got the reply 2 days ago (too busy to come to the forum). Although the one who reply me claimed that defected pipe has never happened before, he will replace/refund if there was any problem with the pipe. Nothing to... -
Anyone has any experience with meerschaumpipemaster.com?
Thanks mtpipe. 99% I am going to get one. Just waiting for him to reply my last email about what if I get a bad one. As I know, meer pipe may crack after a few smoke if the meer is defective (sometimes this is no one's fault, just bad luck). As I am a very unlucky person, I am really afraid... -
Anyone has any experience with meerschaumpipemaster.com?
I have tried contacting him. It seems that some of the pipes on the web site may be sold (indeed the one I want is sold...) and it needs some time for him to make that (I guess that what happen to the "4 weeks shipping" mtpipe mentioned). And he said you can have some customization for the... -
Anyone has any experience with meerschaumpipemaster.com?
The price seems very reasonable (actually relatively cheap comparing to other famous meer pipe). I am attracted by its art work and price (the eagle claw). Planning to get one. But before that, anyone has ever heard about it or has bought one already? The one I am interested in (IEC 26)... -
Anyone know a good alcohol flavored aromatic tobacco?
Hi! I personally like alcohol flavored (Rum, Bourbon, Irish mist/cream, etc. but not Whisky). Can someone give me some recommendation on that? I have done some research online and found that most of them are only available in tin and relatively expensive (compare to bulk). Thanks- kennyjo

Tips for polishing with Dremel
I have just received a bar of carnauba wax today. After my first few trails, I find that the stem is still dull (not as shine as those I have seen in youtube). Can someone give me some tips on polishing pipe? Is Tripoli a must in polishing stem or bowl? What kind of wheel will give me a...- kennyjo

AND mini meer pipe
For the one I own, it is way smaller than a normal corn cob. My little finger is the only finger that can be put into the bowl. Actually there are measurements of each pipe on AND's web site. It do get hot but never be too hot to hold (for me). -
AND mini meer pipe
Just received my first meer pipe yesterday. Since there are some positive feedback about the AND meer pipe, I decided to give it a try. First of all, here are some interesting things I get from AND. 1. "if you buy a mini meerschaum, and it displays any faults right after the first few...
