Cleaning a meerschaum
My dad has a meerschaum pipe. He read that he was supposed to clean it often, so he took some everclear and wiped around the inside, and the dark stuff (cake?) just smeared. Should he have done that? If not, what should he do?- charlie

Cleaning my pipes
So, my dad and I have been reading and alot of sites suggest cleaning your pipe with some sort of alchohol. My dad went out and got some everclear. Is this a good idea? And if so, how should we go about it? Dip a pipecleaner in it and run it through the stem and in the bowl? -
Looking for a pipe stand
I've been searching website after website for a black pipe stand for my dad, but the closest I can find is Mahogany or Walnut. Does anyone have any suggestions for a site that has a little black pipe stand for 2 or 3 pipes?- charlie

Good Friday
Today was a good day. I got up, showered, went to work, got off, and then went shopping. :) Picked up 2 pipes, both Savinelli's. One 602 and one Churchwarden. They're gorgeous! I'm sitting here with my dad, him smoking his meerschaum, me smoking my new churchwarden, watching George Carlin. Not a...- charlie

PAAD
No, it is not a typo. :p It is a disorder that women often suffer from. When we find something we like, we not only get that, but the accessories to match (thus the second A). This paycheck, I'm purchasing a rustic Savinelli Churchwarden that my local tobbaconist put in the back room for me two...- charlie

Bayou Tobacco in Baton Rouge, Louisiana
I just wanted to give the folks at Bayou Tobacco their due credit. It's a small, Mom and Pop store owned by married couple Mike and Sarah. Both are very knowledgable and are more than willing to assist both old pros in the pipe and cigar business as well as newbies like me. Sarah helped me pick...- charlie

Vegassmokes.com = bust
Week before last I ordered from Vegassmokes.com. It's been almost 2 weeks and I haven't heard anything from them except that my order has been processed. I've called a couple times to check on the status of my order, but no one answers and no one calls me back. I've even emailed them. I'm...- charlie

New Smoker looking for a New Pipe
I have a little bjarne briar I bought just to see if I liked smoking a pipe, and a Savinelli comming in in my University set. I want something a bit bigger, though. Both pipes are a bit on the small side. Is there something a bit deeper with thicker walls? I'm switching from cigs so I tend to... -
New Smoker Looking to try English blends
Hi, I'm new to pipes, but I've smoked cigars. I enjoy the full bodied, robust flavors, ones with strong tobaccos rather than the mild ones that most females around here tend to prefer. I was told to smoke a mild tobacco given to me by my local tobacconist for 2 weeks to let my mouth acclimate...- charlie
