    What's the Difference?

    I've been looking at Smokingpipes.com webpage, and I found one that I like, but there's a couple versions of it and I don't know what the nomenclature means. What's the difference between these two pipes? Savinelli: Collection 2015 Smooth Natural (23/66) (6mm) Savinelli: Collection 2015 Smooth...

    How Do I Make it Shiny?

    EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) My local shop has a pipe I really like and I'm thinking about buying it, but it is bare would, and I would like it to be shiny (maybe at least somewhat). Before I buy it, what kind of varnish/lacquer/urethane do I use?

    smoking the long stems

    Good morning guys, I have an older Dunhill 10" long Canadian estate. I find it very difficult to smoke. Obviously there are pipes out there with much longer stems & shanks than 10". Except for the Frog Morton series (which I would call a medium/coarse ribbon cut, some might disagree), I mostly...

    loss of flavor vs. smoke-ability

    Good morning guys, I'm wondering what you all think about the loss of flavor vs. smoke-ability of any given tobacco? If I dry out (by whatever means) any given "clump" of tobacco to the point where it is easily smokeable, how much flavor have I lost? On the other hand if I don't dry out the...

    How Do I Bend a Stem

    Hi guys, I recently acquired a really nice and VERY unique Bowlfish/Apple, but I think the stem is overly bent. How do I heatup a stem to straighten it out a bit? Thanks! Todd

    What would you do

    What would you do if your getting ready to sit down and enjoy a few bowls of one of your favorite tobacco, then it got knocked over a spilled on the floor? Me, I scooped it up and but it in the pipe, enjoyed one of my favorites and could care less that it came off the floor, unless my dog had...

    Don't be Afraid to Modify your Pipes

    So far I have had 3 pipes that I've done a fairly significant modification and two others that I've taken a drill bit the stem and/or the shaken to open them up and let them breathe. The first pipe I modified is a beefy Italian Author shaped Rossi. I wanted a SUPER dull bowl, and after trying...

    What about the "Crumbles"

    Ok, "Crumbles" is probably not the right terminology, but I don't know what is, too wet behind the ears? So I'm calling all the tiny little pieces of tobacco (about the size of dirt)that are siting at the bottom of the tin when the "big" pieces of tobacco have been taken out and smoked...

    Any Dentists?

    Hey a question for the dentists among us. Will smoking cause Periodontitis? I know, not a question asked too often in a pipe smoking forum, and not that it'll necessarily stop me from enjoying the pipe, but still, I'd like to know Thanks, Todd

    day after day

    Hi guys, I got a new pipe that I've really enjoyed smoking with all different tobaccos! Question, I've been smoking the same pipe for 4 days in a row, besides jealousy by the other pipes in my collection, is there really any need to switch it out, and give that one a break? Thanks for your...

    Dull to Shiny

    Hi guys, I'm changing the color of one of my Briar pipes. I'm almost done sanding off it's original finish, and I plan to be putting a coat of Fiebing's Black Dye on it this weekend. I will probably let the dye dry for an entire day, is that long enough? and then I want to coat it with some...

    Looking for a LARGE Zulu

    Hi guys, I have arthritis in my hands, so I like larger sized pipes, and I am looking for a Zulu. I recently purchased a really nice Chacom Zulu off of eBay item # 371615760546 for $89, cool! I thought. When I got it, it seems smaller than what I thought it would be, however to the seller's...

    Learning When To Dumb Out The Bowl, Signs Of Diminishing Returns

    I'm cheap, and I want to get as much out of a bowl as I can. Is there a "rule of thumb" as to when to dump out a bowl and start a new bowl? or when I see white ash, I usually just cover it over with more and keep going, but sometimes I think I'm loosing flavor other times not. So what are the...
