    Alcohol & Salt treatments "Don'ts"

    Okay so I figured out today what not to do when restoring estate pipes. I got a few new pipes in a trade a while back and decided I was going to do a Alcohol & Salt treatment. Well, I didn't have anything better to do that day so I sat there with it next to my computer and every so often as...

    Restoring Estate Pipes - Stuck Stem

    How do you guys remove a stuck stem? I have had some that have been pretty tight, but I was always able to muscle it out carefully. I have one now that I can not even wiggle it a bit. I have gotten a pipe cleaner down it and have tried putting several soaked with vodka in hopes it would loosen...

    Please add a "More" button in the latest discussions

    Kevin Just my 2 cents, but i think it would be a great addition to add a "more" or "show more" button at the bottom of the latest discussions page. Sometimes, when there are a lot of active people on, posts that aren't that old get pushed off this first page and I feel it causes a lot of threads...

    Coloring a Mearshaum

    Ok. I have one meerschaum and have been inspired by the fine folks here to try my hand at waxing it to get a nice color to it. I have had a tough go at finding beeswax. I found some at Hobby Lobby. I went there at the recommendation from my Local B&M. Well I got some but it is a hard brick. Is...

    My Stash

    I can't believe my baccy stash and pipe collection have gotten to where it is in such a short time. I love this hobby and can't get enough. My cabinet was a Craigslist special, got the cabinet for $50 and it is solid. A few jars in the back are empty. Saving them for when I open the new tins...

    Trouble opening Mason jars

    Okay. I have stored most of my baccy in Mason jars. From time to time I will grab a jar that I have not opened in a while and can not get the lid off. I consider myself pretty strong and just feel ridiculous that I can not open the jar. I end up having to run the lid under hot water for a while...

    Polishing from the pros.

    Found a video on YouTube that has the pros showing how to polish wood. I am was looking for exact details and thought this was worth sharing. My only issue now is finding the Tripolli and White Diamond discussed in the video. Hard for me to find it like what they use. Polishing from the pros

    PAD....Lots

    Hit the antique stores again this weekend. Got a hell of a deal. I got a 9 pipe pipe rack and the pipes to go with it for $82.50. Originally wanted $95 and talked them down to $75, but didn't have enough cash on hand so an extra 10% for credit and we ended with $82.50. I don't think I could have...

    My Hand at a Restoration

    I posted a while back that I bought this old Dr. Grabow in an antique store for $5. It wasn't in terrible condition but it wasn't something that I wanted to stick in my mouth right away. In my research I found out that this pipe is circa 1955. Here are some before and after pics of my...

    Actual Magazine

    Looking to subscribe to an actual magazine. Something to read when I don't have the Internet access. When I do a search for "pipe magazine" (other then this site) everything that comes up seems half shady. What pipe related magazines are you all getting?

    Antique Store PAD (Lots of pics)

    This one is a Grabow Belvedere. Paid $5 for this. Couple dings on the bit but after some clean up it will be great. I know this one is old but not sure how old I have seen some different dates as far back as 1920. This one has a stamp of Lorco F-1. Paid $5 for this. Overall nice condition...

    Felt like I should have been smoking in the closet

    I am currently traveling for work and I brought my pipe along with me. Last night I was in the courtyard of the hotel with a rather large crowd of cig smokers and a few cigar smokers. I have to say...I felt completely out of place. Everyone was completely staring at me and no one was talking to...

    Researching Pipe models

    I am big on doing research before I purchase anything. Especially when buying online. It seems every time I do research on different pipes I can only find the most current models for sale and nothing about old models. Is there some special place that holds all this knowledge? Example, lonestar...

    Smoking indoors

    I know a lot of you guys are all day puffers and plenty of you do it inside. What does smoking a pipe inside regularly do to a room compared to cigarettes? I have never had the experience of going to a fellow pipe smokers home, though I have been in plenty of cigarette smokers homes and have to...

    Pipe Show Locations

    Are there any pipe shows any where not in Vegas, the west coast or the east cost? I live in Houston and it seems that all pipe related events I come across on the Internet would include a pricey plane ticket for me.

    Smoking a pipe and buying health insurance

    There have been many posts on here about how the side effects of pipe smoking health wise are no where near as bad as cigs. This may seem obvious to some, but if we only smoke a few bowls a week, do we still qualify as a "smoker" when filling out insurance forms? I assume this would be more for...
