LAD
Well thought this would never happen to me. When I got into pipes about a year ago and was trolling around the website, I'd see all the different lighters and prices people have paid for them. I always assumed I'd stick to the cheap bic or slightly more expensive zippo/pipe insert lighter...- khartman

Trying to separate bowl and stem
So I picked up a couple estate pipes off eBay a little while back. I've been able to break down all the pipes except one. This Kaywoodie White Briar has be impossible to try and get apart. I'm not really familiar with them but I thought they all had the metal tenon and the stem screws into...- khartman

Buying Everclear Around DC
So I live in northern VA and found that neither MD or VA sell everclear. VA says it's not illegal to have, just that the ABC stores don't sell it. I tried using vodka to clean some of my estate pipes, not really getting the job done on some with lots of build up. I also noticed you can't get...- khartman

I just don't get it
So I packed a pipe this morning before I went out to shovel the snow in my driveway. Was kind of a quick thumb packed job w/ FM Cellar. Now up to this moment I haven't been able to get the packing down to minimize the relights. During my time shoveling I did the initial light and then tamp...- khartman

Cleaning metal tenon?
Hoping to get a little help with one of my clean ups. The stem on one of the pipes had a metal tenon and theres a lot of gunk on it. I've been able to clean it up a good amount but plenty of fine grooves and cuts in it that I can't completely clean. Is there an easy fix or is this just plenty...- khartman

eBay estate pickup and pipe ID help (picture heavy)
So I picked up a couple estate pipes off eBay the other day and was wondering if I could get a little help with the ID/background information on some of them. All the pipes look to be in pretty good shape just need a good cleaning. Looking forward to trying my hand in restoration/cleanup. Not... -
eBay bowl only estate sales worth it?
So I've been looking into restoring pipes and I see the deals for bowls only. Looks like you can get a good deal on a lot of bowls this way. I'm wondering if it's worth/easy to replace stems if your not 100% sure of the maker. I can find plenty of sites that have the stems but they come in tons...- khartman

I swear I have full control
Sooooooooooooo bought another pipe today (I posted in the beginner section about buying my first briar the other day and also said I bought a Bjarne from P&C deal of the month).

My first Briar!
So I decided to move further into the pipe world and picked up my first briar pipe! After such a good experience with the local B&M, I decided to buy a pipe from them. I decided on a La Rocca Donna. I like the clear acrylic piece (noticed on my Cobs I bite on the bit without realizing it) and...- khartman

Taste like charcoal ash
Hello, I'm new to all of this and decided to go with a starter kit as seen in the link below http://www.pipesandcigars.com/samplers/40098/pipa-pipe-kit/ I went with the Cherry tobacco. Now I'm starting to realize that the term you get what you pay for might really be true! I know that just...- khartman
