    Who Makes Replacement Stems?

    I've got this Vauen and like the pipe except for the fat stem. I'm wondering what a saddle stem for it would be like. Who out there makes custom replacement stems and what should I expect for cost?

    What's Your Opinion?

    Decisions Decisions.... Pot.... or.... Acorn/Dublin. I like the angular one.. looks like a check mark. I like the stem color on the pot, but otherwise it's kinda ordinary. The chamber dims are similar, with the pot being slightly wider and shorter. Both are about 0.10-0.13 wider than the...

    Loading Hours Or The Day Before

    This was mentioned in a recent thread (can't remember which one), so I thought I'd give it a go just for the sake of experimentation. I loaded my pipe yesterday about 4pm for a smoke today noonish. I can't claim any cause/effect relationship, but it was a nice smoke that lasted longer than my...

    Show off your Wally Frank

    I ordered this one from ebay a few minutes ago. Less than $40. Hope it's a smoker. First estate.

    Black Cavendish

    Anyone smoke straight black cavendish? I got a pouch of that when I got the Amphora variety pack last year.

    This Happened At Work Today

    This is the most oddball and hilarious thing I've ever heard. A guy at work was in the bathroom doing his business. He finished up, flushed the toilet, stood up and heard a splash. He looked down just in time to see his keys disappear down the toilet. Maintenance took the toilet up but no...

    Vacuum Packing Tobacco

    I have read (somewhere, where? Who knows.. ) that aging tobacco requires oxygen. From that I take that vacuum packing will retard the aging process. Maybe not stop it, but slow it. I also heard that some aromatics don't age well as the toppings degrade or fade. That leads to the question...

    Puccini..

    Didn't think I would like it, but... This is the first tobacco that I rejected immediately. Didn't even get it lit completely before scraping it back out. LOL.. Definitely not for me. In the 11 months I've been playing around with pipes, I've not experienced anything that I would describe as...

    Bulk Tobacco In A Press

    I picked up the usual cheap noodle press to mess around with. Has anyone noticed any change in flavor by making a crumble cake or plug from run of the mill bulk tobaccos? I noticed that some turn out fairly solid, some turns out softer like a crumble cake. I mostly did it to compress loose...

    Latest Acquisition

    Thought I was done buying pipes... apparently not. I wasn't getting along with my peterson 3/4 bent dublin. It was too bent and the 9mm filters fit too loosely and gave a click clack in the stem as I smoked. I still wanted a light bent(ish) pipe but didn't want to spend a ton of money. I...

    Lane RLP-6 Vs Cpt Black White

    I read that these were the same. They do smell similar to my novice nose, but the Cpt Black plainly has more black cavendish in it. It's a stark difference.

    Economics Question

    Anyone have a formal background in Economics? I have a (stupid?) question. Why is the constant growth of an economy essential? If you have a stable population, and sufficient manufacturing and resources to maintain that population, why is growth necessary? Seems like with finite resources...

    Smoking Law in Great Britain

    There is a new law in Great Britain that will make it illegal to purchase tobacco in any form if you were under 16 at the time of its passage. It's a complete tobacco ban that grandfathers in current smokers. It's set to go into effect in '27 I think when current 15 year olds turn 18...

    Tobacco Shipping From Germany

    I know they have some strange laws over there. Can tobacco be shipped through the Bundespost to the US?

    Found the Right Bulk Soft Bite Tubing

    Title edited for capitalization. Please read Rule 9. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08L36RNKT?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title This is 5/16 ID, 3/8 OD so 1/16" wall thickness. It is small enough to fit my small bits and stretchy enough for my larger bits. It shipped from amazon, but it took a...

    Ken Byron Tobaccos

    Just had a look at their tobacco, and I don't know if it's any good, but I just love their tin art. I generally jar the tobacco and chuck the tins when I get them, but if I was ordering his tobacco, the tin lids would make a great display to hang on the wall... shadow box them or something.

    Why Did I Start Smoking a Pipe?

    I was asked that today. I didn't have a good answer. Boredom? Something to do? I answered that like most things I start, the idea of it appealed to me. Something not a lot of people do. I started this spring when I was traveling for work and had too much free time on my hands.. got to...
