My Return
Well, unfortunately I don’t have great insurance. So to save money I provided the materials for the doctors to put me back together. So I’m mostly century old pipe parts. Instead of titanium, carbon fiber, and space age alloys. I’ve been reassembled using briar, meerschaum, ebonite, and old...- RustiePyles CPG

My Return
lol, not “that guy” at all. I’m a vintage bike guy so, my fist thought as lay bleeding on the pavement was (MY BIKE!) Honestly the bike didn’t fair to bad, I think most of the impact was absorbed by the 240lb cushion wrapped around it. 😂 It was in far better shape than the Mercedes that hit...- RustiePyles CPG

Increasing Cloudiness on Half of Amber Stem
How or why the soap started the reaction in the first place is a mute point, it did. Why it only did it to the half of the stem that was exposed out of the case could be three different things. 1. it was an oxidizing reaction, the half of the stem in the case was more shielded and thus by the...- RustiePyles CPG

Show Off Your Meerschaum Pipes Here!
While I get my sea legs back about me, I’ve been working through some of my own pipes to get back in the swing of things so to speak.

My Return
Well, I'm back. Not to assume my absence was overly concerning to anyone who wasn't aware of my situation already. First I'd like to dispel any rumors that I absconded to a secluded desert island with the contents of the box pass and forum members stemless pipes to smoke myself silly on...- RustiePyles CPG

What is Your Favorite International Dish?
I built my own tandoor, so we eat a lot of indian food cooked in it. But Tandoori chicken is probably my favorite. I also have an unhealthy obsession with carnitas of both the Cuban and Mexican varieties.- RustiePyles CPG
